I am July 2016.

One of my closest friends got married on new years eve and it was such a fantastic wedding, so I am in serious wedding mode now.

Have the venue, church, band and photographer booked. In the process of dress shopping and I think I have decided on the bridesmaids ones too

I have actually fallen in love with the first dress I tried on too but I have another appointment next Saturday, want to keep my options open.

Congrats everyone .....We are getting married June 2016!!! Really excited now I can say I'm getting married next year !! Not even thinking about dresses till the summer need to go on a health kick first

shortstuff!

Congrats everyone!! We're getting hitched November 2016:) Already engaged a year but had a baby in August so only started any orgainising in the last couple months!

So far we have the Church, venue, photographer, my dress - total accident, went to a sample sale for the craic & got a fab dress for 1/2 price, bridemaids dresses - 1/2 price from Debamhams online in the sales, just need the girls to try on but they are gorgeous, well worth a look, the one I went for aren't on the site anymore so must have sold out, also have made my own foam flower/brooch bouquets. Thought I had the band picked, but went to see them again yesterday with my fiancé & werent as good as I had remembered, wasn't feeling well though so could have been me!

Kinda want to have as much as possible organised before I go back to work so don't let the above stress anyone out!!

Anyone doing a bit of DIY for their day?

Amoureux

Hmmm a lot of people seem to have the photographer booked already, how much in advance should I be booking them?

noanoa

The photographer was one of the first things I booked, I knew who I wanted so didnt want to miss out on him.

Have the venue, Photographer, videographer, church singer, reception music, band, hair and makeup booked.

Might do some DIY myself but ill see. Have everyone collecting jars for me at the moment, what I picture in my head might not look so good when I'm done!

LadyE

Congrats girls lovely to see this thread and now we can say we are getting married next year.

So far we have church, hotel, flowers, band, photographer. We've picked the ceremony music but just have to pay the deposit. I've looked at a few dresses but I feel it's too early for me. The fear that I'll change my mind. Plus I think I'll buy it online.

I'm going to get my invites from eBay I think. I nearly died ag the prices from here.

Where is everyone getting married?

carleigh

Congrats everyone! We got engaged in November and provisionally booked our venue a couple of days before Christmas, paying the deposit in the next fortnight. We also booked the church last weekend. Our wedding date is November 2016 so not planning on doing much for the foreseeable future, other than try to save as much as we can

michellie

Ooh there's loads of us :)

I booked the photographer and band straight away. The lady who I wanted to book for cakes put up a fantastic deal on Facebook the other day so I'm Gona meet her and pay a deposit and get that out of the way too.

Have another appointment for the dress on Saturday in Jeutonic in Kilkenny:)

emzibob

congrats ladies I'm march 2016 cant believe it's next year!!

Have the venue, church, band and photographer booked. Also Have my adult bridesmaids dresses bought just need to find a junior style to match. Did have hair booked but that fell through recently :mad:. Won't be looking for my dress till easter time have a few pounds to shed before I'd feel comfortable looking. Still lots to do but looking forward to getting going the DIY stuff

michellie

Found my dress today in Jeutonic in Kilkenny, absolutely thrilled with it!! Ordered it and the veil - was included (thanks to my bargain hunting mother lol)

SO excited now!

lover_of_life

Congrats on the engagements ladies. Exciting times. I have provisionally booked my venue for April 2016 and have booked my band. Need to EVERYTHING else. But looking forward to it. So far it's been fun finding vendors. Ask me again ext year and I say that will change :-). Wishing you all luck with the upcoming planing. Xxx

westernlass

We are March 2016. Booked humanist minister, venue, photographer and band. The rest can wait. I refuse to stress out. Quite a bit of DIY planned but not too worried about that.

Hes really involved and great for helping me with decisions. I tend to fill pinterest boards and then look through it again and delete what I dont like a month later.

happy to wait til easter for dress shopping, loads of time

CatC01

Congrats everyone! Have just booked venue for April 2016!! :-) Now the church and band are my first priority!

Anyone any advice on how to go about picking band, so many out there and don't really have any recommendations?!

westernlass

I recommend Venus to Mars, they a bit different but do all sorts. Also moonlight are pretty good

brassbutterfly

Got engaged Christmas Eve and have venue booked for March 2016!!! So exciting! Also have band and photographer as well as church. Plenty more to do but feel these are the most important at the moment. No panic on me for a dress at the moment. Loving this thread! 👰

Hi milly,

They were so nice and helpful, I had been to Eden manor in Enniscorthy the previous week which was also fab and tried on every style of dress so I knew what suited and what I was looking for.

I'm so excited its ordered. I ordered my daughter's flower girl dress on etsy this week

Milly33

Thank you! I didn't do a thing last year and now I have the dress I want to organize everything!!

martinak89

Ah! July 2016 here :P I've the photographer, church, venue, wedding singer, band all booked Said I would get it done asap in case they got booked on me since July is so popular. No idea when to start the dress shopping though! Thinking might leave it off until Spetember (my future sister in law is getting married in August and she said she would help me so dont wanna have her stressing with me trying to find a dress when shes planning her wedding :P)

emzibob
