Another month down, another month closer to becoming a Mrs! So far we’ve got 90% of vendors locked in, with only a few more to go. The few things left to do are:

  • Book accommodation for the night before & upgrading to the suite
  • Organise wedding cake
  • Make bouquets. I’ve decided to go fake flowers as real were going to cost around $400 to $500 versus around $150 for fake
  • Confirming makeup artist for myself and bridesmaids if required
  • Make/buy wedding favours
  • Get remainder of jewelry – wedding rings & other accessories. Already sourced some earrings
  • Get the remainder of documents to the celebrant for the Notice of Intended Marriage
  • Confirm guest list
  • Send out save the dates
  • Send out invitations
  • Get sized for wedding dress, alter dress
  • Get possible cheongsam/qipao for tea ceremony

I’m sure there a few things I’ve left out such as the kitchen tea/bridal shower & hen’s night but those are not as pressing at the moment. I’m wanting to get the big ticket items & important things out of the way as early as I can so that we can start populating our calendars with meetings for the run up to the wedding.

The wedding planning has died down a little lately, which is great. We’re hoping to get most of the planning sorted by July this year, so we’ll have the rest of the year to focus on ourselves. We’re also looking at moving in together pretty soon, so that will be quite an effort in itself too. Count down is on! Just over a year to the wedding & we’re looking to be in relatively good shape. Now to work on our wedding bodies 😉
