    Hi fellow brides etc...

    Im Rikkis_June_Bride_2012 and getting married to my beloved June 23rd 2012. I dont know about what you all think but it seems so far away!

    I guess the fact that we have the following sorted wont help speed it along:-

    • My Dress (Maggie Sottero -Melissa Brooch Royale)
    • Bridesmaids Dresses (x5) in turquoise blue.
    • Bridesmaids hair styles & accessories
    • My Tiara
    • My Veil
    • Venue
    • Photographer
    • Cake ideas in the process
    • Cars (including a suprise car for our parents which they dont know about)

    I think thats it.. there may be more... my brain seems to have gone blank lol....

    Anyway, its the end of my lunch break, so better go but fellow bees please leave details of your wedding and ideas including to do's etc....

    Anyone else feel that their wedding is so far away?

    Look forward to hearing from you all.

     

    Much love,

    Rikkis_June_Bride_2012

    Congrats to another June bride in the hive! My wedding is June 9. I've got my dress, our venue, photographer, floral/event designer, and DOC. We think we've about settled on the attire for the wedding party. I need to start on catering, music, and rentals! I feel like I have so much left to do, but we have been engaged for a year and a half, so the next nine months seem to me like they will just fly by.

    I'm a June 2nd bride! We got engaged in December of last year and now we're down to 276 days!! Time is FLYING.

    We have church, reception venue, photographer, flowers, bridesmaid dresses all picked out, tuxes all picked out, my dress/veil/headband, my shoes, band booked, limo booked and cake ideas in mind.  My biggest worry is the dang favors.  I have no idea what I want for those... but if that's all I'm stressing about, I think I'm good!! :)

      Hi there, date twin! :-) I'm also a June 23rd bride. We've got quite a few things accomplished, but we still have some things to work on. So far, we've...

    • Booked the ceremony site and reception vendor.
    • Booked our photographer, made a down payment, taken e-pics.
    • Booked our DJ, made a down payment.
    • Bought my dress.
    • Decided on the type of guestbook we want.
    • Chosen our florist and bakery for the cake, just waiting until it's a little closer to make more plans.
    • Notified bridal party.
    • Decided on reception favor (cookie buffet)
    • Hair stylist is booked.
    • Musician for the ceremony is booked.
    • Started shopping for bridal party gifts.

      I am continuing to make my list of things to do. My jobs for September are to get a passport and design our Save the Dates. In October, we're going to look at wedding bands. My goal is to have Save the Dates out by Halloween...we'll see how this goes :-). I also want to start designing the boxes for our cookie buffet, but I don't know how/where I will store them. I may start ordering supplies.

    June 30 for me! We have all the big decisions out of the way - just need to finalize the guest list, florist and decor. My friends/family think I'm crazy for taking care of things so early, but you ladies make me feel like I'm right on track! :)

    I'm June 15! Nine months exactly from today. :)

    Right now we have a venue, an officiant, my dress, and my ring. I'm sending the deposit to the photographer tomorrow, we have a sample menu from the caterer, and we have our bridal party picked. The girls are picking their own dresses & the guys are finding their own suits, so that's not a problem. I'm in the middle of coding our wedsite & designing our save the dates - but the invitations are done!

    I still need to...

    • Get suit for FI
    • Get wedding band for FI
    • Finalize caterers
    • Florist
    • Assemble a bazillion paper flowers and pinwheels
    • Figure out the cake situation.
    • Finalize guest list

    I am so stressed out right now - I hope it gets easier as it gets closer!

    Oh man, I feel like I'm behind and I thought I was ahead of schedule!  We're getting married June 9th and I have finished the following:

    • Reception Venue
    • Ceremony location
    • MC
    • Band
    • Photographer
    • Videographer
    • Dress

    That's about it, and I thought I was on the ball :)  We're taking engagement pictures this afternoon so we can send out a Merry Christmas / Save the Date in December (Christmas cards are a lot cheaper than save the dates and my dress was over-budget, oops!)  I am borderline obsessed with finding new decor ideas on this site, so the decor is in the works as well!

    I'm a June 15th bride also. 

    Planning seems to be very stressful. So far I have the following and This saturday I will decide on the rest.

    • Ceremony 
    • Reception site
    • Photographer
    • Dress
    • Jewlery
    • Shoes
    • Garter
    • Veil
    • Videographer
    • Bridesmaids attire

    I am doing my own invitations and just sent out save the dates that I made.

    • Still need to confirm florist
    • caterer
    • Need the grooms final invite list, he can't get addresses.
    • need to confirm a baker



    I'm sorry but does the invite list and cost of the caterer stress anyone else out? And does anyone have an issue with people inviting themselves to the wedding? I'm sorry btu I don't have a lot of money for people to invite themselves, unless they want to pay an entree fee. 


    Anyhow my colors are orange and turqouise :-)
