  If the wedding is during a popular month, you'll have to get moving now. We got married in January in Pennsylvania, so we pretty much had the pick of our vendors and planned everything in 6 months. 

  
  

  Make an overall budget of what you can spend then divide all of the categories up for what you want to spend on each one. I found it easiest on an excel spreadsheet so I could automatically total everything as I booked vendors. 

  
  

  Also, I'd suggest getting on your local board. They're on the left <---- and contacting vendors to get pricing and start booking.
  
  

  Here's what my list of vendor categories looked like. You might find that you can eliminate some of them.

  
  

  Reception - Venue

  Reception - Parking

  Food/Bar/Cake

  Wedding Bands

  Church

  DJ

  Photographer

  Guest Transportation

  Limo

  Flowers

  Husband? If you're already married then you don't need to stres about a ceremony. A party celebrating your nuptials is perfectly accptable so long as it's without the wedding components.
