Hi there, congratulations xx On our wedding day it will have been just about 8 months of planning, so 7 months is perfectly do able.
Firstly...boring but budget. What can you afford to spend? Think of the wedding you want, church? Registry Office, All in one venue? Now...big wedding? Small Wedding?
It really seems alot but dont panic, you'll be in safe hands here :) Every bride and bride to be will guide and support you.
Proud to be a Wife and Mum

I would say on top of what GC2B has said - set your priorities - Some things you may want but arent a prioirity - We said we would LIKE chair covers but only once everything else was paid for if we could afford them would we have them.
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!
Mexico for our first anniversary <3

Hi there, welcome and congratulations!!!
First off. Breathe. Calm. Stop!
I agree with GC2B. set a budget, write a list of everything you need to sort, where you can find alternatives, where you can go DIY )(plenty of threads on here full of money savvy tips, diy oddjobs, swap shops etc), what your priorities are, what you definitely want to spend money on, where you can cut back a little etc etc.
It does seem stressful & panic mode but you have come to the best place and wont be alone i can assure you!

I agree with rest of girls....firstly prepare a budget. Work out how much money you can have saved before the big day and work out exactly what your prioritoies are and then apportion the budget to each aspect of your day. Fleabay can be great to get a bargain and if you were lookoing for bunting but in particular colour that can't be bought pre-made buy a few metres of material and get cutting and sewing. doesn't need to be perfect it would add to charm. A little can be stretched a long way xx

Congratulations hun, as the other ladies have suggested set a budget 1st and go from there D.I.Y is also a great option for your own flowers and invites and can save a few pennies too x

Congratulations!!
7 months is more than enough time!! We've been planning our for about a month now and get married in 3 and a half months :)
First of all set a budget (like everyone else has said), then find your venue and everything else will fall into place! There are lots of bargains out there to be had
Good Luck xxx
CommentAuthorKatherineR45
congratulations, you have plenty of time, we had 9 months between setting a date and the wedding and I'm now wishing we'd made it sooner x
CommentAuthorMrsC2bee
Congratulations hun, I agree with everyone else decide what's most important and what type of wedding u want and go from there. If money is tight then see if ur able to make things urself or get friends and family to help. And don't forget to haggle ur prices just because its close u can still get money off exspecially in winter month x
CommentAuthorMrsC2bee
