I say begin with an overall vision in your head then find locations from there. Then move to finding and officiant, a photographer, and a dress. Those are the first things I remember getting done.
I'd say that getting a venue and dress are #1. (Ask friends/family where the best places to look/try out are...that way you can save yourself some time)
Don't worry about a 'theme'. Just choose what you like, and your own personal style will pull it all together.
Enlist the help of friends/family/fiance to help do research with you to find the best deals. For Example: My FI was most interested in our entertainment and transporation options, so I put him in charge of securing both of those.
Save the DIY items until you have the big stuff secure. You can find time to do those crafts on weekends, evenings, spare moments.
I would start with a location! Especially if you're set on a particular date, finding something so soon could be a challenge. From there I'd probably get right on finding a photographer, because they book up quickly as well.
Btw, don't let the wedding website/wedding books scare you with their countdowns. You CAN get it done, and it CAN be the way you want it. Just don't be scared to ask for help.
We are having such a small wedding, that I'm thinking of skipping out on a traditional reception and having a sit down meal at a formal resturant. They have a small private room we could use.
I wonder if we could just get married there. Would that be tacky? We don't want a church wedding, but I don't really want to pay for two venue's for 15 ppl!!!
Have you looked at areas in parks? I've found that parks seem to be pretty affordable. We're doing a small wedding of about 30 people and doing a sit down meal at a nice restaurant instead of a traditional reception. Our ceremony venue is in a park but the room we've found for the reception we think could easily double as a ceremony spot if necessary. So I think it could definitely work and wouldn't be tacky.
mandb122- In the area we live an outdoor wedding would be beautiful, but we are getting married on a Friday in February. Our wedding will need to be 6pm or later, so doing something outdoors is risky.
i woul djust straight up hire someone to take care of all the details. can it be done? yes. at the cost of your sanity? might not be the best idea. let a professional wrap up all the details, especially becuase you have so little time.
it depends on the level of committment you want from them. It can range into the 1,000s+ for that. And they might even charge more for this close to the date!
Definitely get DRESS and VENUE pronto. Can't say which one is more important, but both take tons of time! I think for 15 ppl, you can get away with a formal restaurant! But you'd still want to book it!
finding a location and a dress are probably the most important places to start!
Don't forget an officiant! They often get booked up early.
You might want to consult with a wedding planner or two just to get an idea of what needs to be done, where you might do it, and what fits with your budget. With that little bit of time, I'd ask for all the help I could get if I were you!
Also, check on the Local board on weddingbee for where you live...local brides could give you a good idea of where to start!
Start with a location and get your family and friends to help as much as possible. FI and I plan to go to Vegas and have a very intimate affair. Ceremony(with just him and I) and dinner after. I want to take pictures on the strip and that's it. Good luck.
before anything else start with you dress ... in some place it take 6 month to get it than your location and you officiant :)
you are gettng married the day before me!
Trust that you wont have too much trouble finding things. everything i have looked and booked has been available. we are lucky that our wedding dates are not in bridal season. i got a lot of great deals too because people just dont tend to get married that weekend.
you can do it! Start with a venue then go for the dress...once you have a venue things will start to fall in place. i promise. Recruit as much people as you can to help out. i would literally make a list and just go down it. Im just about 2 months away and im still booking things. i booked the limo today, i meet with the cake lady on wednesday.
OH Flowers! big priority, (if you are using them) its valentines weekend so prices skyrocket and you want to make sure they have what you are looking for.
@nannydeprivedmama: Friends of mine got married in the private area of the restuarant and it was amazing. It was a private room and there was a seating chart, we all took our seats. DH stood at the front and the bride walked in through some doors from the main part of the restuarant, the had a JOP do the ceremony and then we all toasted after a kiss and then food was served...it was unique and personal. I loved it.
Here is their wedding http://carolynegerszegiphotography.blogspot.com/search?q=sarah+and+devin

Sorry, there are no users yet.
My wedding is in 95 days, and I have nothing done. I don't have a location, I don't have a dress, I don't have a theme. I do know that it will be a very small affair, but I still want glam and elegance. I've looked at wedding countdown sites, and it seems impossible to plan a wedding this fast.
Where should I begin, what is important and what can I do with out?
