Hi fellow July 2012 bride and grooms. Getting a bit jealous of all these threads for months and us not having one...so anyone else out there?
Where are you up to with your plans? What themes are you having? What have you booked etc?
We're 27th July 2012 and have booked and paid deposit for our venue, DJ and photographer. Got our place cards, favour boxes and some bits for our invites as I'm making them myself but other than that - nada!
OH - and our colours are baby blue and silver

We are 7th July. Have booked the church, venue and dj that's it!! Think we have found a photographer but not booked yet. Our colours are probably white and silver with a bit of navy blue for bridesmaid dresses and cravats, just little bits as h2b doesn't really want it. It probably is a bit of a dark colour for a summer wedding but I want it lol!!
CommentAuthorxxJennyxx
I'm July 7th as well! We have booked the venue. Got through a sample invite yesterday for a DIY job. Have been to see one photographer but not got anything booked yet.
Colours: Royal Blue and Ice White. Possibly a litte light yellow - but not sure yet.
Plucking up the courage to go dress shopping but havent got too enthusiastic about it yet.
Thought about honeymoon in Maui but can't book flights till August :-(
Soon to be Mrs Mawee!
Hawaii - Booked! Dress - Bought!! Bring on the day!

DeeC - I don't think Navy is too dark, If you brighten it with the white and silver it'll look lovely. How weird the 3 of us 'July' brides have chosen blue? lol x

Hello its exciting i can be a part of an official thread yey!
Me and hub2b are marrying july 14th 2012 and so far we booked venue, entertainment, caterers and church
Ive been collecting lil gifts on the way for part of the wedding party and so far got- hub2bs,ushers,best men, flowergirl, pageboy and two fathers and im terrible at doubting that its enough
Im having complete dilemma over colours lol, i cant decide between purple, silver and ivory or teal/turquoise silver and ivory ahhhhhhhhhh!
xxxxxxxx
CommentAuthorSijen
Have you picked your dress yet Kye? I think Purple, silver and ivory would probably all go better than the others but that's just me!

We're also 7th July! Obviously a popular date. We've booked the church, reception venue, cars and (I think but still waiting to hear back via email!) the chair covers. I think we know which photographer and florist we want, just need to sort out meetings! We're going for a cadbury purple colour I think but that will not be 100% until we choose bridesmaid dresses!
Very happy to say I'm now Mrs Keates and loving it!
CommentAuthorKat
We are 21st July. We have our venue booked, invites half made. Venue is taking care of most things. I know which photographer we will book but havent yet. Our colours are dark green and white
CommentAuthornini
Sijen we are having the same date as you! Did you know that it is also the opening ceremony for the Olympic games? We didn't until we had chosen it and now evryone keeps telling us! We have booked the venue and the church (provisionally) but thats it! OH will be designing our own invites, we need to book caterers, photographer, DJ and just about everything else! Our colours are dark purple and silver.

We think we know basicically everything we want so it's just booking it all really. I have been wondering when to go shopping for dresses. I thought it was a little bit early. I really want to go but I'm dreading trying dresses on in a way incase nothing looks right. I never like anything on me!!
CommentAuthorserine4andrew

Ive booked the church, venue, photographer, dj, cake, flowers made all favour boxes, finished off my invites this eve, started on the orders of service covers, all in all i think im doing quite well, oh and i received my save the dates yesterday, they are gorgeous!! i would recommend Vistaprint to all of you guys, i put a pic of myself and h2b onto a save the date magnet it was so cheap and they are lush!! :) Og, my colours are black and white with a hint of red :) xxxx

CommentAuthorserine4andrew
Oooo Ashlil you are sooo organised!! my next mission is to get my dress.... i went to buy my jewellery yesterday but mum says i shouldnt as i need to find my dress first to make sure it matches!!lol
ive got my save the dates but thought i would send them out in July, 12 months before the wedding
This day i marry my friend, the one i laugh with, live for

i was worried people may bog off on holiday in july, so thought id get in their quick lol. ive chosen my dress, just need to put deposit down on it and as mum is paying. im waiting for her say so x
CommentAuthorKat
I'm thinking I would start a facebook group for friends instead of save the dates. Tacky or good way to save money?
CommentAuthorxxJennyxx
I think i'll be sending my save the dates out this July. Went to try dresses on for the first time on Tuesday and the lady in the shop seemed shocked I was looking so early! It wasn't the experience I hoped for...hope it gets better. I'm not a dress person, so I was hoping that going dress shopping may get me more excited. I think I was more excited about getting my invites through - now I can start making them!
Everyone seems so organised - I had to slow myself down or I would get too excited, but now I know you are all just as excited....back to the planning I go! xx
Soon to be Mrs Mawee!

CommentAuthorMrscarter2b
Hi Sijen, we're getting married on the same day as you!! we've booked the venue, registrar, photographer, videographer and DJ. My friend is making the cake. I've bought placecards and the stuff to make my table centres and booked the seat cover company. I've also bought the bracelets for the bridesmaid corsages. I know I've still got tons to do but things getting ticked off nicely xx
CommentAuthorMrscarter2b

We were advised 1pm by the co-ordinator, then room change whilst we do photographs etc. Wedding breakfast at 3.30, just making sure everyone has lunch or a late breakfast before the ceremony!! Evening reception starting at 7.30 pm x
CommentAuthorLofty
I think we're having the wedding at 1pm at church and then the wedding breakfast about 3pm. I'm more worried about not having enought time to get ready in the morning!!
Very happy to say I'm now Mrs Keates and loving it!
CommentAuthorDeeC
We are having our wedding at 1pm in church also. Our planner from reception venue advised us to wind photos etc up for 3.45 to have time with guests and start the meal on time ,and then we will have time with guests after meal and to freshen up before the evening guests arrive.
CommentAuthorKat
We are having the ceremony at 1pm as well with sit down meal at 3pm but all at sam venue so now transport time
CommentAuthorx ashlil x
im not getting married until 3.30, im not having a sit down meal, i dont have to worry about rushing or getting up at 5am ( i take ages to get ready lol) and if its swelteringly hot, it will be cooler by then x

CommentAuthorxbeckyx

Well booked our venue and paid for 50 people to eat lol i have proberly another 20 to feed still! Booked our cars and chocolate fountain! Brought my Mohs dress and it should arrive in october :0) one flower girl dress also Brought my wedding dress, borrowing my nans tiara its been worn by all my auntys on their wedding day! Got all my decorations, fish bowls for centrepeices ect,Birdcages, camera for guest book,lanterns,candles,bubbles! Looking at wedding rings now and have chosen some lovely invites,but not doing anything more until the cars,choco fountain and honeymoon is all paid for! Paid half off on honeymoon! Have a photograper in mind also!
Sometimes we both stress and then other times we still look at each other and say got a year to go thats ages lol eek!!
CommentAuthorSijen
Becky we're getting married on a Friday too but the only thing I've found cheaper is the registrar fees lol...Think a lot of people see Friday as part of the weekend now?
We've just ordered our invitations as they had 10% off this weekend and was just too good to miss.
