Hi everyone! I’m just wondering about timescales of everything. We are getting married at the end of May 2019 so about 18 months to go! So far we’ve only booked the venue, the registrar, the photographer and asked our wedding party. I know the next thing I should do is sort out the DJ. What order did everyone sort things/how soon before the wedding did you sort everything? Everyone keeps asking if we’ve sorted anything more for the wedding and my response is always like nope... I know I need to pull my finger out and start sorting stuff out haha! I feel like I should be further on??Everyone always seems super organised on here! Thanks in advance ladies :) xx

Hi, I'm getting married in June 19... I'm exactly the same as you! Although my venue supplies the dj so I'm all good for that. I think I'm going to go for cake and flowers next? I'm not really sure :)

I booked venue, registrar, cake, cars, decor and band. DJ came in with price of venue. We booked our wedding September 2016 for May 2018

I’m getting married May 19 as well. I would defos book your music next. I’m looking for mine also. Not having much luck trying to find a band who will also do a wee ceilidh. I’ve already booked my flowers along with everything else you have. Trying to book everything I know I need to book now so it’s as stress free as possible. Then it’s just a case of buying things like stationary & favours etc. Good luck

I'm getting married June 2019 and am at the same point as you - venue, photographer and wedding party sorted. No idea what to do next. No idea how to even start looking for a band or DJ. Putting it off until after Xmas

You’ve done about as much as me and we get married August 2018!!! 🤣

As a wedding dress takes about 9 months to arrive from order I would start looking soon after Xmas. Time for alterations has to be taken into consideration as well as buying accessories ( shoes, veil )

I would prioritise what you have left and book them in that order. The best suppliers get booked up really fast so if you want them, you need to sort them first.

Getting married in Oct 2019. Got venue, videographer, photographer, registrar and florist booked in that order. Got our band picked and will book them next. After that.. I guess dress next year. I just wanted to get everyone who needed to be booked booked so not to stress out if I can't get who I really wanted.

We're getting married June 2019. We did venue, registrar, cake, photographer/videographer, florist, chair hire, DJ. I've also got my date pencilled in with hair and make up ladies as I knew who I wanted and these get booked up fast. I've ordered save the dates as they were on special offer (although we haven't given them out yet), and I've asked a family member to make the favours. Next will be car I think, then dress and invitations in the new year.

I planned and booked my whole wedding in 18 weeks, in the middle of July too and didn’t have any difficulties or go without anything because there are just soooo many suppliers out there now, the wedding business is booming! There will always be someone available. I guess you only really need to book massively in advance if there is someone specific that absolutely have to have xx

I have sorted my venue and DJ only. I will probably start organising more at the start of next eat.

I think you have plenty of time left to book everything.
We are getting married in June 2018 and got engaged in June 2017 so only have the year to turn it all around.
What I would say though is the sooner you book everything the more likely you are to get your first choices. As so many brides are very organised
