Hello Ladies,
I'm planning a quick wedding. I've been married once before so I am semi-familiar with the planning process.
I'm all set for venue and pastor on July 7th, 2012.
Besides invites & attire, what are some other priority items i should be focusing on?!
Thanks!

Re: Advice Please! (& Introduction...)
This would be my priority list (no specific order):
Photographer/Videographer
Reception decor (centerpieces?)
Favors
Transportation
Hotel room block (if necessary)
Honeymoon?
Is there anything included with your venue? If not, I'd say caterer, photographer, DJ/band are the most important.
Florist ?
our biggies were: reception location, reserving our church, catering contract, photographer, DJ, and videographer. i also would order my dress ASAP.
i would also decide on the top 3 things that are most important to you that you do not want to skimp on. our biggies were catering/reception and photographers. we personally decided that as far as decorations/paper-related items go, we wanted things to be nice, but that we would try to save money in these areas since we were spending more on incredible photographers and food/bar for 250 people.
i guess what i am saying is, know what is most important and least important to you, and budget accordingly
@k888:
Have you picked out colors? Tiffany blue/brown/white
Wedding party? Still deciding between having 2 each or 3 each, finalizing by Saturday so we can ask the respective parties.
This would be my priority list (no specific order):
Photographer/Videographer - meeting with a couple photogs soon.
Reception decor (centerpieces?) - this is my trouble area! I don't want to go broke with decor
Favors - I'm thinking candy buffet
Transportation - haven't look at this yet
Hotel room block (if necessary) - waiting on FMIL's guest list to determine, rest of our friends and family are local
Honeymoon? - already had a trip to Vegas planned on the 27th - Aug 3rd so now it will be a honeymoon trip.
@bridetobe71412: catering is available at our venue - Golf/Country Club. We are doing the wedding ceremony outside and the reception in their ballroom. I got the menu today and am overwhelmed with options. We are doing a cocktail reception as our wedding is pretty informal being it's my 2nd....
@LADY324: The music and photographer were the most important to us. DJ is my uncle - he has a DJ business. I'm not sure beyond that what ceremony music will be yet. Considering having my friends sing a duet - they are fabulous.
Do you have your dress yet? Hoping to tackle that Mar 3rd when my mom comes back from Arizona
Florist ? No clue. I'm still researching....flowers or diy.
