Hi all brides to be!

My wedding is booked for September 2018 I was just wondering when do you think it's time to officially start planning?

I've booked the venue but when shall I start booking other stuff?

Thanks! X

Hiya and welcome to the site, You can start planning straight away, I started planning when it was looking like 4 years before a wedding but ended up we brought it forward. You may find though that some venues/service providers may ask you to book closer to the time but no harm in asking and making sure you have what you want.

Yeah I would say it is never too early to start looking and planning what you like- there is soooo any options when it comes to weddings that it's nice to have time to digest it all and decide what you really want :-) this site has loads of inspiration xx

I meant we are in 2016 in a few weeks lol xx

Id start now. It gives you the time to plan without it taking over your life. chose one thing to do each month. photographer etc and then you can do it easily without thinking about wedding all day every day. That's what we did. Started properly looking and booking things in Jan 15 for Oct 17 so 2 and a half years

We booked our venue 22 months in advance..... It does give you more planning time and like a lot of the ladies, if you intend on doing a lot of DIY things, you have plenty of time

Good luck and enjoy

Just being nosey...... Happy planning 2018 brides

I think I may have to renew our vows every year so I can constantly be wedding planning!

I'll have been married for 2 years in 2018. That's a crazy thought!

Can't wait xx roll on 2018

Yay I found a 2018 post! We are getting married December 2018 and can't wait! Planning has begun! Plan on doing a lot ourselves.

Afternoon everyone. Hope you are all well. We have just recently got engaged we have both been married before but neither have had a day that we wanted. Due to wanting the added extras that we didn't have at our previous weddings we have set the date for 14/07/2018 that way we will be able to get what we want for our big day xx

I'm getting married on 3Rd January 2018! Struggling to find a photographer for then however! X

Hi there :)
My wedding is in June 2018, we have booked venue, photographer, cake is sorted, lighting, our dance floor and I have already started making my table centrepieces.
I am a wedding planner myself so I know first hand if you want the best, book them early!
I've also sourced what dress I want for myself and my bridesmaids/flowergirls.
The only thing I'm struggling with is hair/makeup artist.
There is no right and wrong as to when to start, whenever you're ready!
Enjoy xx

Yay I'm so glad to see a 2018 post :) I'm also a 2018 bride getting married the 26th May 2018, I can't wait!! We booked our Venue February this year and have already spoken to a florist and venue decorator just getting quotes and to possibly make a booking with them. we've also paid a deposit with the registrar and thats about it at the moment. We are trying to get the most important and most expensive bits out of the way first it's so exciting and I could easily get carried away booking stuff but there's plenty of time to do things! I actually looked into booking a musician for our wedding and was told I'm too organised and they don't usually take bookings this early in advance lol, il say just try your luck with a few places, most places now should take bookings there's no harm in being organised. I want the wedding planning processto be as stress free as possible and im sure you do too. The next thing on my list is to get a photographer booked by the end of the year and look into getting some wedding insurance, that's a must thing to do and Iv heard Debenhama are pretty good. Good luck in planning your wedding x

Yay our save the dates have arrived!

A little bit excited! Need to get the day guest addresses now.

We have emailed a few DJs to find out prices. We think we have a DJ that will cover music at the day reception and evening.

We booked our dj/singer today as well. xx

Think the next thing we will look at will be cars xx

Excited much today we paid the deposit to our venue. We also managed to get our photobooth & piper deposit paid. We had them provisionally booked and now they are confirmed. Woo Hoo xx

I wanted to see 1 of the rooms today because I wasn't sure if we could fit a photobooth in but I was wrong its bigger than I remember lol xx

I love the look of tea length dresses. I have no idea what I want. I don't do dresses I'm going to find it extremely difficult when I go dress shopping lol xx

We got our led dancefloor and illuminated love letters booked today as well. Another thing ticked off the list. Sat a couple of days ago and made a spreadsheet for all our costings and surprised at what we were estimating things to be to actually what they are costing. Our estimates are way out and its less than expected we are paying lol xx

Another thing ticked off the list and that is our wedding cars. Got the most gorgeous looking blue beuford for me & my daughter and the boys are having a Chrysler limo. xx
