July 2012 Weddings

Newish to board...

Hi! I joined when my fiance proposed, but spent a lot of time on WeddingWire. It's been getting pretty crazy over there so I'm coming here. It's nice to see a lot of people who are planning a wedding the same time I am. We have picked a date of July 1st, 2012. So far, I have the venue picked. My dad needs to go look at it before we can book it. He's planning on doing that in the next week or so. I do have my dress picked out and will be ordering in the next month. I want to make sure I don't change my mind lol. The centerpieces have been designed, but I need to purchase everything for them yet. We have decided to have a harp for the ceremony. My FH has already picked out the tuxes for the guys. That's about all we have planned at the moment.

    I don't know how busy your area gets, but I highly suggest booking as much as you can early because A LOT of things book early!  The big things I suggest booking early are the ceremony and reception venues, photographer and DJ!  Florist and baker can wait until then.  July is a busy time of year for weddings.  I would hate for you to lose out on anything you really want to have!  Also, the latest I would order your dress would be October/November because it can take up to 6months for a dress to come in and then you'll need time for alterations!!  Just a little FIY!

    Welcome and congrats Stephanie!

    Birdy, why do you guys have to wait until December?? That makes me nervous :-\ You have the castle venue right? I guess if they set the rule about booking until Dec, then maybe it's no big... but I'd be worried about your other vendors.

    ETA: Birdy I just now read your answer to my question about NC from a few days ago haha. Did you go to Appalachian? I had a looot of friends that went there. And that's so strange about the castle location. I have a few friends who live in Jamestown and I've been there a billion times. I don't know why I hadn't ever heard of this? I'll have to look it up now lol :)
