    Hi

    I don't post very often but I'm at April 16 2011 bride so I thought I better step up!

    I have booked the venue and most vendors- photography, officiant, florist, cake baker, harpist and DJ.

    We have had a pretty long engagement so that stuff was all done a long while ago.

    I have not yet sorted out my rentals, booked hair or makeup, or made the decisions on flowers, cake flavours, menu etc- I live abroad so my mom is getting all my contracts in place and decisions will be made when I next visit!

    I have sent out STDs but a lot of the transatlantic ones got lost in the mail (I sent them out right before the ash cloud fiasco) and I keep realising I forgot people... oops. Now I am trying to get my invites and other stationary done but the stationer hasn't returned my e-mails in 3 weeks so... yeah.... I don't know what to do there.

    I don't have a dress yet- this is proving to be a real struggle. And all the stores are pushing me now, saying I only JUST have enough time if I want a made to measure dress plus alterations.

    So... how about yourself?

    I used to work a bridal salon. yes if you plan on ordering a dress you should be picking a dress right away.  Some designers take up to 6 months for the dress to come in again.  Otherwise you are going to be paying about an extra 150 in rush fees.  So start shopping ladies! Or buy a sample dress that is for sale so you don't have to worry about ordering.

    Yikes, I was hoping they were just being dramatic! I am going to order it tomorrow. It's taken me over 2 months to decide on one, after visiting 6 different stores, and going to see a few of them 3+ times...  I could go on forever to-ing and fro-ing over which look I want to go with, but I am forcing myself to get it done and dusted this week while we still have a good amount of time.
