August 2013 March Siggy Challenge: The Dress!
Next Big Things
Wow, December is going by crazy fast. With work, and school, and all the holiday festivites I'm not sure where the month went. The wedding planning has been pushed on the back burner because of all the craziness. Now that things have calmed down a little bit, and will calm down even more in the next couple weeks so I can think again.
These are all the things I am going to work on next!
I have scheduled a dress appointment for my bridesmaids on January 6th. I am SUPER excited about that.
I am in the process of finalizing my guest list! I want to send the save the dates out in January.
We're going to start our registry soon!
I made an appointment with a baker to talk about the wedding cake.
I have emailed a few florists to get estamated quotes. Then I'm going to schedule appointments with them!
Whew. That sounds like a lot! What is everybody else working on/starting soon?

Re: Next Big Things
This past week (after finals!!) we met with our officiant and read over our 1st draft for the ceremony -- we LOVE it!
I went to a boutique and got to wear my gown and try on a bunch of headpieces and jewelry and ended up purchasing everything I needed.
We have bridesmaids appointments January 13 & 27, so hoping to find a dress for them on one of those days.
My tasting should be in January, but we have not heard from the event coordinator at our venue yet.
Not too much left to do for us, thank goodness because once school starts up again, January 22, I will be in school until Aug. 16!
Good luck, ladies!
Anyway, I am planning on ordering STDs very soon! which means I have been gathering addresses, etc.
We will also be going to a tasting in Feb at the venue.
We're going to book the Honeymoon sooN! just have to decide which island all-inclusive is calling our names
and then we'll probably register sometime in Jan/Feb?
Lots of fun stuff to look forward to!
As far as wedding planning comming up we will...
Be registering soon
Sending out Save The Dates in April/May
My Dress will be coming in in spring
We will also have our first meeting with our DOC to go over the wedding plans and get everything finalized with the venue once spring comes.
I will be ordering my dress Jan 6th yay!!!
I am having a girlie lunch with my bridesmaids on Jan 27th & we will decide on styles and chit chat and figure out all the details that are to come in the next few months
Def. will be sending out Save The Date Magnets in Jan/Feb as well
Other than that - just dropped off a huuuuuge $$$ deposit for our venue so its feeling much more real as i look at our almost empty bank account hahaha
Good luck with the planning ladies & enjoy it!!!
Since I had thought to be getting married in April, I ordered my BM dresses in October, and just got the call that they came in. I am going to go pick them up this weekend, and then when it gets a bit closer to the date take each girl to get them sized if they dont fit perfectly.
I probably need to start working on a DJ soonish...
Once my FI gets here from London I am going to force him to do engagement photos, even though he is against it, the loser.
woo roll on August!
