So our wedding is in October and I am anxious to starting buying ‘things’! How far out did you buy your bridal party/parents gifts, your guest book, reception items (toasting flutes/cake cutting set) and all your other wedding days ‘things’?

    That's smart. Hopefully you will be happy with how things are and won't need too many extras.

    I love what you bought! We have a little vintage feel to our wedding, too!

    This is very true! Our venue is nearly all inclusive and the things we aren't getting from them, we have already selected/put a deposit down on. Guess now is the time to start shopping!

    I was thinking the same thing about shipping! Also trying to find items from the same stores/shops to qualify for free shipping rather than spreading it out all over the place.

    Finding a place to store things is could to be a challenge - luckily most of the things we need are small since we aren't DIYing.

    Good point! I'm so happy our venue takes care of all the linens and such. I'm just trying to finalize the personalized/little details. Hopefully I can find some good deals!

    I'm going to check Facebook market place for flower girl baskets! So far almost everything I want is from Etsy.

    That was kind of my issue at first, we went back and forth on colors for a while, but finally settled. Now we get to spend some money lol.

    Luckily we have all of our vendors, just a matter of getting all the little things and personalized items.

    Yes, definitely don't want to buy everything at once when we are trying to pay off our vendors!
