It has been just under 4 months since we’ve gotten engaged & only about 2 months since we started really planning and thinking about the wedding. It actually has been a pretty painless and fun process to be quite honest. To date, we’ve done the following:

  • Picked a date
  • Picked a venue for the ceremony and reception
  • Put a deposit for the venue
  • Picked my bridesmaids & maid of honour
  • Met a celebrant and put a deposit for services
  • Tried on a dress, liked it & put a deposit for it
  • Met a photographer/videographer, liked them & getting ready to decide payment options
  • Arranged meetings for a decorator and DJ
  • Sourced a potential florist
  • Tentatively arranged accommodation for the night before and night of the wedding
  • Spoke to a makeup artist to source quotes
  • Sourced potential bridesmaids and traditional attire online
  • Sources potential custom made rings

I think we’ve done pretty well to have done so many things in such a short amount of time and with relatively little stress. I’m more just so excited about things and wanting it all to happen right now! The best part for all the services I’ve spoken to & organised is that we are getting discounts for every single thing for the wedding! Am hoping that this will continue & we can come under budget for the wedding. So far we are doing pretty good & am watching my spending really closely so that we will make it as close under budget as possible. Winter weddings are most definitely a good way to save some money! I picked out my wedding dress over the weekend, but that is a story for another day! I got the most gorgeous gown for half price & I cannot wait to be a princess on the day!
