What do you guys have left on your to-do list?  I feel like it's so much, but in reality, I think I'm pretty well situated.

I'm meeting with the florist tonight, and outside of transportation (fiancés job) I think that is my last big thing to do.  A TON of little things still left though...

102 days to go!

    ME! I have 109 days to go! 

    I feel like I'm pretty well set, but I have so many little things left to do too. Order rings, address/send out invites, etc. 

    It's starting to get real though!!!

    Right there with all you all.  We're 116 days out.  Between ordering invitations, people asking me about showers, and wrapping up the last couple of vendors, things are starting to feel very, very real.  I still have to finalize our transportation, hair/makeup, and cake, which should all get done in the next 2-3 weeks or so.  After that it's just details--but it feels like there are a LOT of details.  Finalizing ceremony decor, escort cards/table numbers, wedding party gifts, bathroom baskets/welcome bags, bridal party gifts .  .  . the list goes on and on.

    I keep telling myself that we already have someone to marry us and food/drinks/chairs for our guests.  Everything else is just gravy.

    Me too, I'm at the point where I'm like as long as the basics are covered I'm good!  My florist just canceled on me until next week... Arrgh  That really is my last big thing and I was really hoping to check that off today... Oh well.  It'll get done eventually.

    Yeah I'm trying not to let the little stuff get to me. I just keep writing everything down. I feel like I'm going to forget something, but them I'm like eh, if it's small enough for me to forget, it probably won't matter anyway.

    Practically - my wedding is June 27.

    I recently started to get freaked out that I'm way behind!  This thing is really coming up fast!!

    I recently ordered my invitations and decided on my wedding band.

    We haven't found a bridesmaid dress yet - hopefully that will work out!  I don't know if it's too late to order...

    What's your budget and what color/style are you looking at?  I just squeaked by without having to pay a rush charge for my mid-July dresses and we ordered almost 2 weeks ago, so I think for most traditional "bridesmaids" dresses you're looking at paying a rush charge a this point.  Have you seen these dresses from White House Black Market yet?  I'm sort of obsessed with them and would probably have had my bridesmaids get them if they came in my color.  As is I'm probably getting the white one with a black flower belt for showers and/or rehearsal dinner and/or post wedding brunch:

    My BMs are doing a Donna Morgan dress from Nordstrom. Not sure what your budget is, but they do free shipping and free exchanges. Plus you should have time to order something.

    Since I only have the one "bridesmaid" (witness), I don't exactly know what budget she was thinking (I was thinking $50, but she was looking at $150 dresses online) - I was going to just let her pick one in one of my colors (aqua/blue).  She hasn't found one yet though, and I kind of wish we had just gone with a traditional bridesmaid dress!  I swear, my colors were EVERYWHERE last summer, but this summer everything is CORAL! lol

    I'm sure it doesn't matter in the end what she ends up wearing, but thank you for the ideas!

    I'd also suggest Modcloth. They always have cute stuff that's not super expensive. I'm sure she'll find something!

    I am a July wedding, July 11th! I can't believe that it is practically around the corner!  We just need to get one of the bridesmaid dresses, finalize stuff with the pastor, make/send the invitations, and take care of flower stuff.  School has kept me preoccupied, so I haven't really had a chance to think about it, but when I do, it seems so surreal! Crazy, crazy.  I am going to be an emotional mess on the day of the wedding, I just know it.  I just can't wait to marry my amazing fiancé!

    Haha, awesome @littlepep! :)  I agree with you that I am not trying to let the small things get to me.  I honestly don't care about decor or flowers.  Haha, Is that bad?  I am not creative whatsoever.  My mom is doing the centerpieces which is quite simple and that is the most decorative I think we are going to get.

    How are you feeling?  I feel like it's just so surreal!  I can't believe less than four months! Crazy!
