    No no its never too early!
    You'd be surprised with how much gets booked up so far in advance these days.
    We were originally booked for June 2014 but after a surprise pregnancy decided to move it to November 2014.
    Been trying to change dates with suppliers we had already booked with and some are already booked up!
    It's better to spread out all the costs over a longer time also and gives you more time to do everything especially if you want to make anything yourself like invites, bouquets etc .
    Congratulations and enjoy!! xx

    I got engaged 2009 joined here 2 days later and have been planning my wedding for about 18 months now?
    Wedding is 1st November 2015...............it's never too early!

    Most big things get booked up way in advance like venues photographers and even stationary people so the sooner you have these in place the easier it will be for you and your purse strings ;-)

    Nope, I'm getting married the 30th August 2014 and already have the church, venue and photographer booked and am currently looking at bands. Our photographer is now fully booked for every weekend through the summer of 2014 and so is our venue, so if you want to get your first choices, I suggest you start planning now! It is crazy how much in advance people get booked up xxx

    We got engaged last January and getting married in August 2013 so similar time frame to you.... i dont think its too early. I spent first few months just browsing for ideas and deciding on things then booked big things such as venue, church, photogrpaher and transport April/may time and then slowly done other bits and bobs xxx

    Absolutely not.

    I'm not getting married until December 2014, but I'm already actively planning, because things can get booked up quite far in advance.

    I always recall my cousin wanting to book a particular florist, only to be told by the florist she couldn't fit her in as she was booked with wedding flowers for that time, and this was 18 months before her wedding date. She did add her to a waiting list though, in case there were cancellations, but a call never came.

    It's never too early to plan! Venues and photographers etc can be booked years in advance.
    We set the date for 18 months after the wedding as we thought 18 months was the perfect amount of time to plan and we started planning straight away

    The greatest thing you'll ever learn
    is just to love and be loved in return

    Congratulations on setting the date :)

    As the ladies above have said, it's NEVER too early to plan. A lot of the best suppliers/venues etc get booked years in advance sometimes so it can't hurt to get the ball rolling :)

    Good luck with your planning xxx

    My h2b keeps saying its to early to start planing and we haven't even got a date yet all I know is he wants it in the summer next year (2014) I'm hoping well if its not to bad with snow Saturday that I can go try dresses on and hopefully me doing that will help get a wiggle on with things as most people that have got there date for next year are quite far ahead with all the planing. It's so bloody annoying I just want to start planing feel like a little kid lol x

    Congrats on finding this gem of a site!

    It's never too early. Get your ideas together on a mood board or a book and then when it comes to booking things you've got them all in one place. Good luck with the planning and enjoy xx

    we're getting married sept 2014 and have already booked the venue and registrar, next on the list is sourcing a photographer. Get all the deposits down on the big stuff as soon as you can, then you can just concentrate on the little stuff :)

    Ive got it all organised in my head lol, i finally made a decision on favours today and i will NOT change my mind haha!

    Im also collecting clear jars for my sweet buffet, so no, its never too early!!

    Crack on and have fun!!!

    Also, when I rang the other day for the registrar, the day i wanted was almost fully booked, lucky for me, i wanted 4pm and that was free, or I would have been snookered.
