July 2012 Weddings
Options

Hi Knotties!

I've been engaged since February 19, 2010, and feel in love with The Knot shortly after. We recently picked a date, July 6, 2012, and it's finally close enough that I can start to get serious about planning! I wanted to introduce myself, and see where everyone else is in the planning process. I'd like to start a wedding bio, but am a little overwhelmed, and unsure of how to do this, and what to include.

I look forward to meeting all of you, and sharing ideas and experiences!

    Hi!  Welcome to the board and congrats on the wedding!  So far I only have my venue (ceremony and reception) picked out (which includes the catering and baker) and my Save the Dates.

    What kinds of ideas do you have for your wedding so far?

    Congrats and welcome! Most of us are still in the beginning of the planning process but with biggest parts taken care of. For example most girls have their venues, churches, officiants and some also have photographers, DJs and caterers. Basically the services that go quickly. So if you don't have those yet, you can start there! :)

    Do you want a wedding bio or a planning bio? A lot of girls here have planning bios to share details with other knotties about things that you have planned, finished etc. but things that you wouldn't share with guests before the big day. From what I understand the wedding bio is for guests to keep them updated, get info and such. I have a planning bio myself, though I haven't updated in a while lol. I plan to have a wedding bio for guests later once I send my STDs out. So anyway it's up to you. You can look at other knotties' bios to get an idea of what you want to put on your page and which website you would like to use best! Sorry for the long post! HTH! :)

    Thanks everyone!

    So far..
    We have started looking at a few venues, and want to have one booked within the next two months. We have decided that we want to have a laid back wedding, that reflects our (somewhat dorky) and fun loving personalities. We will probably go with blue and white for our colors, with yellow as an accent color. I think the colors feel very fresh and summer-y. We also have been to a few bridal shows and won an engagement picture shoot and a free print in canvas for guests to sign. I've also been looking into DIY projects to start soon.
    Thanks for the help about the wedding bios. I think I'm going to start a planning bio now, and have the wedding one later on after details start falling into place.

    Sara~ I got engaged on February 23, 2010, and it's gone so fast but I'm excited  to finally get serious about planning too:) We chose July 14th, 2012 and so far picked the vendor, and dj (comes with the package at a good price) and we have an idea of the photographer and church.  I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been engaged for a while! :)
