Wedding

Depends on when you are getting married? Plan to book your church (or place for vows) reception hall, music and cake to begin with. Determine if you want a themed wedding, etc. Go from there. Just be creative and have fun.

Hi, Lavonna
I had the same problem with panning my wedding, my so cold maid of honor didn`t help me with anything.
You should really start with setting a date, getting a hall where you going to have a ceremony and reception, booking a photographer, a video guy, maybe setting a theme, I had a cinderella theme and it was beautiful, if you want I can tell you a little bit more about it. Also buy Bride`s magazines, they help a lot too. Like what kind of dress you would like, flowers, and etc... I`m also selling my dress which is a St. Pucchi wedding ball gown, it`s beautiful, maybe you would like to see it and the veil as well.
If you have any more questions, you can email me a t Express_interprises426@yahoo.com
Thanks

I`m having the same problem. My other bridesmaid (my little sister) is taking over what she can even though I keep telling her not to since she`s having problems at school. Now I wish I had her the maid of honor!I feel sooodumb!
What I had to do to de-stress was everytime I felt angry or resentful was take a deep breathe and realize why my friends are dear to me and why they are in the wedding in the first place. (which sometimes isn`t easy with all the stress!) And if time is an issue just letting things go. For example, I`m not having a bridal shower or bachlorette party (I`d have to plan it). Sometimes it sucks but I needed to prioritize what things need to be done first. Maybe if I have time I`ll just call some friends to hang out for the bachlorette paty but I can`t sweat it. I know this hasn`t helped much, but just know I feel for you! Goodluck!

Thank you all for your replies. My wedding date is Oct 19, 2003. I have my dress my shoes and the bride’s maids dresses picked out. Three of them have paid for their dresses but the rest have not. I have not decided on a location he wants it out side but I told him that it would cost more to rent chairs tents etc. I want early evening because of the theme A Starry Dream. That`s all I have so far...I really need help don`t I.

Where do you live? If you don`t have a lot of guests at the ceremony you can get married at the beach. There was this one website I looked up that had cheap weddings at the beach and they suggested having just family, then everyone at the reception. Sounds like you have a neat wedding theme, are you going to decorate with lights for stars or have some sort of star hangings?Also, cheap invitations-look up willow tree.Also, I did have a friend who printed hers from her computer and it looked neat, she bought nice paper from Michael`s and spent $50 on 100 invitations. Good luck!

LaVonna,
Go to any of the major wedding sites, all the bridal magazines have sites, most will have a time line. A listing of everything that needs to be done and when. You really don`t have a lot of time. I think you need to sit down with your F/h and decide where you want to have your reception (this needs to be done fairly soon) once that is decided everything else will start to fall into place.But I stress you need to start now! Good luck and keep us filled in on your progress.

Lavonna, You don`t need help, you just need direction. Don`t we all? Sit down and decide where you want your wedding, and reception. Get your places booked. Then find your music and/or photographer.These 4 things are probably booked well in advance. I`m gettting married Oct 25, so I kept in mind that a lot of businesses in my area have 2 things in mind - fall fundraisers and the holiday parties. Once you have your wedding and reception booked, most everything else will fall into place. You can tranform any location into what you want. We have more of a Princess theme as a Cinderella (although it started out Cinderella) but we`re having a church celebration and then going to a local firehall. We`re going to transform the reception into a courtyard theme. Trees w/lights and snowflakes, etc. You won`t need your wedding later to enhance a starry night theme. Lights and Stars will quite attractive. Being October a lot of the holiday lights in local retail stores will be out. Focus on where first. It`s going to be beautiful no matter what the hour : )

I am planning my own wedding also, GET A WEDDING PLANNER BOOK my friend just got me one as a graduation present and its awesome, you put everything down and you can follow directions in it. It helps
