Summer 2012 Brides!

Hi Nearly married :bluewave

I'm Sept 2012 bride and I just want to say thanks for much for posting your question. I thought I was a bit nuts doing everything now :crazy

.
So far i've organised the church, hotel, band, dj, photographer, videographer, flowers, suits, pew decorations and my dress. The deposits have been paid on most of them so now its just focussing on saving.

The reason I've (i should say we ...ahem.) done so much is because we didn't have a clue how much anything would cost and at least this way we're got our budget and know how much we need to save in the next 18 mths.
Its so much fun though, finding everything we need and haggling - I've become addicted to it now hehehe.

Best of luck with all the arrangements and enjoy every minute of it!

I'm another summer 2012 bride. Getting married on 4th August. So far we have booked- church, priest, hotel, band, D.J., flowers, ceremony music, have sourced invitations, hair and make up booked, dress picked, cake sourced, cars sourced, favours sourced, photographer. Still a bit left to do but not much. The cost is coming in around the €26,000 mark as we are having a large wedding and that is why I'm booking early as I need to know how much I have to save. Went hell for leather in the first month or two of being engaged but going at a leisurely pace now.
