What should i start buying

I bought stamps, candles, jewelry, and some other little decorative things early. Nothing that I wouldn’t want or couldn’t use if things changed.

I also am having a 2 year engagement and have been picking up things for signage. I plan on creating all of my signs myself, but have nabbed a vintage mirror and a few easels. I also have my card box and DIY’d my dress hanger (pictured). I’d say keep an eye out for people selling things that will fit in with the feel of your wedding (make sure you have a clear idea of what you want!), but remember, you have to store it all before your big day, so take that into consideration as well. Happy hunting!

I started just buying things I felt were cheap after doing a lot of research

Since you’ve locked in your venue I’d go get first pick of the best photographers in your area. They fill up quick! You could also work on your colors/theme and buy centerpiece things for now since you don’t have your ceremony space yet.

If there's anything you know for sure you're going to DIY then I'd go ahead and get that stuff now so you have plenty of time to make it

I am getting married August 2020 and we have our venue/caterer, photographer, DJ, and we just booked a pastor as well! It’s crazy how fast the vendors get booked so I would look into those big things!
