    Im not June but i am April 2011, all Ive done is buy my dress and save up, we havent booked the venue yet as we didnt have a deposit so probably going to have a weekday instead to guarantee the month, Ive picked everything in my head , agreed a guest list and table plan with h2b also a budget £5k. Had lots of ideas for BM dresses but none so far have been popular with all the bridesmaids. Hope that helps? How far are youwith yours? go on put me to shame.

    Heya Claire, I am getting married in June 2011 =D and Im sure you have done a lot more than me. I've been to see a couple of venues and found one I love but my H2B hasnt seen it yet, although it is provisionally booked so aslong as he likes it I have got the venue sorted. Have also booked the church but thats it so far. How about you?x

    I'm 25th June 2011. Starting to fall behind due to funds but should be able to start shopping again as I have a new job.
    I have (I say 'I' because H2B is useless and has done nothing to help)

    Paid the deposit on the venue and will I've got a meeting with the photographer tomorrow to pay the deposit for that too.
    Got colour schemes and theme sorted out.
    Got my dress, my tiara and my shoes. And sorted out my hair and make-up for the day.
    Got the head bands for the bridesmaids(they are buying their own dresses). We're going shopping in a few weeks to find the shape that best suits the bridesmaids.
    Got the RSVP cards. Designed my save the dates and going to order them in a few weeks.
    Hows your planning going? xx
    Guest list done and I've got a rough table plan.

    I think you can pay deposits on anything when you want, and in most cases you will get that years prices so they shouldn't get more expensive with inflation. I would have most deposits paid on everything now if H2B hadn't been made redundant and didn't have to take a massive pay cut to get a job quickly. I don't wanna get too much done though, because I'm worried that I'll run out of things to buy, lol.
    Lemondrops, and Yvonne are 25th june too. Apparently it is a very popular date, lol.

    I am May 2011 and we have preliminarly booked the date, Will be confirmed on Monday when we pay deposit.(this includes catering) we have phoned registre to check date is free and will be confirming and paying deposit on Monday(again! my H2B gets mon and tues as his days off) Have e.mailed to find out how much deposit will be for dress I want (still waiting for a reply!) Have found someone to make our cake (1 of our friends owns his own catering company) but haven't decided on what it will look like. We also have colour scheme and first draught of guest list drawn up.

    lol. all my bridesmaids have dark hair and are all pale. so some are hitting sun beds and others gettin a spray on.
    But compared to my sister and H2B sister 2 of my friends are very large in the chest area so hoping they all look as good as each other. My friend that has the largest chest is the only 1 that hasnt been for a fitting so we will see x

    Really? I had to think seriously about who to have as BM and have probably upset a friend or two for not including them. Aswell as money I've had to think about who will help me enjoy the next 16months and not kick up a fuss!! We all have friends that can be difficult, I honestly dont think they realise they're doing it!! x

    yea ive asked my sister, my 3 closest friends and H2B sister. The friend i just said about has been asked to be a bm for her cousin in the same month as my wedding. As mine is now the w/end b4 that one i dont think she is happy and also her cousin is letting her do all the decision making for the bm which aint happening with me.
    She has finally taken it down a peg tho thank god x

    I'm 17th June 2011. So far I've booked the venue and hotel room. Booked registrar and given notice of the marriage. booked photographer and have an engagement shoot in 2 weeks. Paid deposits for all of these too. Car has been sorted (we are borrowing a friends), chosen my invites but not bought them yet. Done save the date magnets and have started sending them out. BMs chosen. Hairdresser booked.

    Still loads more to do but plenty of time although I haven't done anything for a few weeks so feeling like I should be doing something again. Will start the dress hunting soon - can't wait! x
