Only for those whose wedding is in 2022

Hey Celina I was originally a 2021 bride but I wanted to be safe and moved it to 2022. We have almost everything booked and currently making payments. The only thing I’m missing is a hairstylist. I would suggest to start looking and book what you can. Some vendors book 2 years in advance.


But definitely start with research and what fits your budget. If able to visit venues and vendors to decide. Collect as much info as you can so you can make a choice that works for you.
Hope this helps.

View Quoted Comment Thank you! We have to hurry and decide on destination or not but I will start working on it lol

We’re planning our wedding for January of 2022. We booked our venue in November of 2019, and our photographer and DJ in December. I’ve been working on some DIY decor and researching for other vendors. Still have to book hair and makeup, a day of coordinator, officiant, and baker. I also recently started dress shopping. Not sure when in 2022 you’re hoping for, but I don’t think it would be a bad idea to start looking for venues. With all the rescheduling, I’ve heard some places are already booking up popular dates for 2022.

View Quoted Comment It didn’t matter which 2022 I just wanted some help from people whose weddings are in 2022 because with all the questions I’ve been getting asked and me not having an answer I thought let me ask to see how far along other brides are. Thank you for your response e have decide if it’s going to be a destination wedding or not lol

My wedding is in July 2022. We were originally supposed to get married July 2020, but thanks to COVID, we postponed to July 2022. So 90% of my wedding is already planned only because of COVID. I think you still have plenty of time for planning - maybe start looking at venues to get an idea of what you like/don't like, but I don't think there's a major rush yet to actually book it. If you find one you really love and want to book, there's no harm in booking it now, but if you aren't ready to book yet, I don't think you need to rush. Other than budget and maybe estimated guest list, I don't think you're behind on planning.

View Quoted Comment Thank you, I just wanted to make sure lol because we’ve talked budget and we’ve done a rough draft of the guest list. We’re still trying to decide on a destination wedding or not to have one

View Quoted Comment That makes sense. Having the budget and guest list is a great start! Once you decide on whether you want a destination wedding or not, I'd suggest starting to look at possible venues, but no rush on booking one if you're still undecided. Happy wedding planning!

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

The downsides of starting too early right now are that we don’t know how much of a toll the pandemic will take on wedding vendors. On this forum you can already see some venues and other vendors closing their doors and brides being left missing deposits and more.
It sounds like you are doing the right things for 2022 wedding, and looking at venues is probably a good idea, but you still have plenty of time for most everything!

My wedding was originally going to be in 2021... but my fiance and I decided it would be best to push it back to 2022. I have been planning my budget out more... making checklists, and looking into a select few venues that family members had suggested. I also have made a draft of my guest list... that's about all I can do at the moment

View Quoted Comment Yea that’s all we’ve done is do a rough draft of a guest list and talk about a budget. E we haven’t decided if it’s going to be a destination wedding or not so after we decide on that then I guess we can start looking at venues

We are very early 2022, January. We are also in a competitive area, I'm sure that area affects how much you need to do....in our area, everything fills up really quickly, especially with all the rescheduled COVID brides. All of the vendors we've booked have mentioned they are already taking slots for 2022 (we thought we'd be the only ones!) and a couple are nearly full for all of 2021.

That said, so far we have done:

* Venue

* Food, drinks, and cake

* Photographer

* Hair and Makeup

* DJ

* We are about to ask a friend to officiate

* We have our wedding party decided on both sides, asked and accepted

* I have a reception dress and my eye on a regular dress, although trying to wait until a year out

* We have a general color scheme decided, although at this point it's all subject to change

* We have a basic guest list, although we will probably add to it. We have a lot of people's contact info already collected via Zola

* We have a wedding website via Zola

That's all for now!

Hey ! We are getting married in May of 2022. I already have the venue, DJ, Videographer, and photographer booked. I wanted to do everything early just because of Covid. I wanted to ensure that I got my dream vendors for my date at a good price. I didn’t want to wait to look since I know a lot of wedding as this year have been moved to next year and everyone now getting engaged is looking at next year or even the year after. I would suggest to start looking now just so you can get your dream vendors for your date and can also lock in the pricing with the contract. If the vendors pricing change from now into 2022 you will have the pricing locked in from 2020 when you booked them

Congrats on your engagement.


I believe you have 2 choices with this pandemic.... Plan for 22 with no restrictions like a normal wedding. Or elope / micro wedding plan this. Or both in a way.

I think you better hurry on two things.
Number one is the guest list. Go thru your future spouse and your contact list together. If you have contacted them in 3-6 months via any means and consider them close. That is your guest list. If they irritate both of you, they are not a guest. If they irritate one of you and is important to the other, they are a guest. If both of you have no feelings, they are not a guest (this is your mom's friend from hs you never met and she's not paying).
Step 2 find a venue with a date. Be prepared to get hell for no matter what you do on this. We got crap for it being on a Friday and a holiday. So, the vendors charged us more and my husband's family wasn't happy it was during the work week. I strongly recommend a Wednesday though for cost and flexibility reasons. You want to do this now because there are a lot of brides that have decided to push their weddings back.
Wait till a year out on everything else. That way you can shop for your dress like normal and do all the normal wedding planning stuff and not have social distancing or wedding mask hopefully.

We was planning on 2022 but think maybe 2023 should be 💯 back to normal plus. I'm doing my wedding 85% besides the photographer and make-up/hair stylest. Rest all me and my lady's, decorations, cake, treats, food, drinks, set up , tear down.

View Quoted Comment Oh wow you guys have a lot done, I guess after we decide if it’s a destination wedding or not then we can look at venues

View Quoted Comment Ok! Thank you. As soon as we decide if it’s a destination one or not then we’ll start looking at vendors

View Quoted Comment So far we’ve done a rough draft of the guest list. We have our date and it’s on a Wednesday (he was a Kobe fan so our wedding date is both his number haha) well start looking into a vendor after we decide if it’s going to be a destination wedding or not

View Quoted Comment My fiancé said I wasn’t allowed to make our wedding cake lol he said it’s your day your not doing that haha. But I do plan on doing the other stuff so it’s not so expensive

View Quoted Comment That works. Ours was Valentine's day because mine forgets his birthday and wanted a lot of reminders.


The rough draft will work. Just make sure you give yourself cushion so if all the sudden you find out that you missed someone it isn't as big of a deal to add one or 2 people. A 10% cushion should do it.
