I'm really into the whole wedding planning and enjoying discussing ideas etc with OH/mum/friends but I kind of feel like ive done all I can NOW. I know I COULD book plenty of things now but OH keeps telling me to leave it as we have plenty of time. I know its probably a good thing as gives me more to do nearer the time but I have OCD when it comes to organisation lol.

So far ive booked venue, sorted wedding insurance, provisionally booked registrar, finally decided on colour scheme, ordered sample invites/dress swatches and bought centre pieces (which is a pain in itself as they are 30cm hurricane vases - 7 of them - which need to be safely stored for near on 2 years!) but they were a bargain compared to hiring so couldnt let them slip away. I'm now looking at entertainment; magicians, DJ's, bands. Ive gone completely bridezilla I realise but I think I need to stall myself a little.

My mum is taking me to the National Wedding Show in October to try on dresses, which is the one thing I am hoping to leave until pretty much last minute, as I'm hoping to lose some weight first, but what if Ifind 'the one'?! I'll be itching to buy lol. Has anyone ordered a dress in a size or two smaller in the hope of getting into it whe the time comes?

Hope everyone else is enjoying their planning as much as me, although I'm yet to have the dreaded 'dont want sister being bridesmaid' talk, oh and the fact I dont particuarly want her partner there either. Will go down well I'm sure!

I'm glad I'm not the only one lol! Ive told OH its perfectly normal and rational but he thinks I'm nuts!

Ive seen some dresses online I love the look of and will probably try on, but what looks good now might not so much if and when I loose weight. Plus every dress ive liked OH hasnt and vice versa.

We're getting married 17 July 2015. What about you?

We haven't booked anything yet due to money though I want to pay a deposit on a venue so we can confirm the date. Just need to visit some more uk venues first :(

No you're not the only one, many of us OCD brides on here lol..

Mines 4th July.. Xxx

I've booked the church, paid deposit on the venue, cars, venue decorations, chose colour schemes and had menu tasting, sent out save the date cards and the invites are being printed as I type x suits are ordered and all males measured just need to try on nearer the time
Hen do is in the planning stage with the MOH and other BMs also stag do is booked for day of go carting and quad biking all a month before the big day
Flowers and button holes have been chosen and paid for
I only really have the dresses and table plan to sort out
I want to get it all sorted then can relax a bit and just pay for the rest of it
It's been quite easy really all falling into place which is great x can't wait for the big day to come now x

From experience being organised and doing things in advance is the best thing you can do. As the weeks became days I was thankful for doing so much in advance, all I had to worry about were the things I really could not do, like delivering the stationary to the venue, giving away the rings, etc.

If you want to plan the wedding, even if it seems well in advance then DO IT! You'll be thankful for it later.

When I can actually start putting deposits down and paying for my venue registrars etc I will asap I'm a 2016 Bride and have plenty of time to wait till my wedding but I believe the more organized I am and pay a bit of at a time the better I will be in the long run It's normal for brides to be's to get excited and go wedding planning mad and sort things out asap Men don't understand why we do this but When it comes to crunch time and your all stressed and you cannot get what you want or need as you left it too long then you will wish you pre done everything before hand =D <3 X

I Love Save The Date 2 With The 2 Joining Hearts =D <3 X
