    Hello fellow Oct 2020 brides! We’ve booked our venue and put down the deposit, booked the photographer and paid him in full, bought my wedding gown, found my hair stylist and makeup artist, booked our officiant, and asked our bridal party to be in the wedding.

    Wow! Look at you go! Hooray! We're there too, we've been dealing with catering quotes yikes crazy expensive. I keep thinking, why is it SO expensive to feed people lol?! Luckily, FH remembered he had a DJ connection so we're going that route.

    Booked a venue, photographer, band, and my caterer (who also does florals, day of coordination, cakes, and bartending!) Excited to get some big things out of the way but still so overwhelmed!

    I’m an October 2019 bride- I remember this time last year doing the same. It’s so exciting starting to picture it all. I’m just going to tell you that this year will go fast! I’m 33 days away- I remember booking my venue and starting the countdown at 380. It seemed like forever!! Its not. It’s a fun year though! Try not to let things get you crazy and make sure to take time to go out with each other and no wedding talk. That was advice from our officiant and I’m so glad for it. Even if we just go to a fast food place to sit together it’s a no wedding night so we can enjoy why we got here in the first place. Happy planning!!!

    October 2020 bride here!! We have more than half the wedding planned already! Venue, flowers, dj, cake, hotels, decor, wedding planner, photographer, videographer, photo booth and rentals. We got engaged on Christmas Eve 2018 and booked our DW in February in NC. Then booked majority of our vendors in May. We're making another trip in November for our engagement shoot and finish up with vendors.

    I have dress, venue and deposit which covers food and also hotel accommodations since it is a hotel ballroom, church and officiant as well as musician for ceremony, DJ, rings and hair and make up as well as photographer. I am currently working on centerpieces and I started quotes for flower bouquets and boutonnières. Bridal party is set and I have a cake topper but not the cake yet. It’s coming along great and I am not stressed at all!!

    So far we've booked the venue, photographer, coordinator, DJ, caterer, and officiant. We've both picked our bridal.party, though FH hasn't asked all of his yet. I've started dress shopping but haven't found anything yet. I've started working on reception decor and design with my coordinator. And we've started drafting our guest list

    Erica, hair and makeup was actually the 1st thing I booked! Being out of the area I needed to research fast and book to get who I wanted. Engagement pictures are causing us some trouble as to where to go? What are you doing for yours?
