Hi all,

I know that most couples leave about a year to plan their wedding, but my
fiance and i have decided on 21st June 2003 due to the fact that i am still
at University and finish next year.

Is there anything that we can start doing now to ease the pressure from
2002 - 2003?

Thanks for any help you can give me,
Kirsty

reception venue may be booked by someone else ....... ditto everything.

On the other hand, in the next two years companies may go out of business,
be sold to vendors who will not honor previous contracts, or even burn
down to the ground.... Yes, there IS such a thing as booking too early!

As I am a florist I would advise you to look at flower
shops/garden/everywhere for the flowers that are available at the time of
year that you intend to marry, you'll get a good idea of what is in season
in your colour range, maybe have an appointment to discuss possibilities, at
that time of year.....if you want a very co-ordinated look, this will help.

Kind Regards

So do you think it would be helpful deciding on everything we wanted and
basically planning everything but not actually confirming it until next
year?

We have seen the church we want to get married in (because we have decided
where we are going to live next year) and have seen a number of reception
venues, shall we book appointments to just go and see exactly what these
venues are like or would they not be interested in discussing everything
through with us because its so far in advance?

We have decided on smaller things like the colour scheme at the moment and
what we would like for the wedding, is this the best steps to take?

Thanks again
Kirsty

Maybe, but I would advise people to look into venues that have been around for
awhile and have a history. The odds of them suddenly going out of business
will be unlikely and any reputable company should have a clause in effect
should they suddenly burn to the ground.

That being said, during our last meeting with our reception site, we saw that
he is already booked well into 2002 and is taking 2003 bookings already. We
booked him a year and a half in advance and got the last Saturday they had
available in June of this year.

I highly recommend getting the reception and ceremony sites booked now.
Believe me, nobody there will think you're booking too early ;)

Hi, I think you should seriously consider booking you church and your venue
for your wedding, I have worked in the hospitality industry for 15 years and
it always seems that one or two weekends of the year are always the busiest,
if you are not fussy about the date take your time, but if like most brides
you are, I would recommend starting to look for that special place. Alot of
places will let you tentatively book without a deposit, only needing a
deposit after receiving more inquiries for a particular date. I really
recommend checking out DJ's and photographers, I only know one or two of
each that have an acceptable price and service, so when I speak to people I
always recommend talking to them early (esp if someone you know knows a
really good dj or photographer). If you are concerned about deposits too far
in the future, find out how long the person you are giving the money has
been in business, if you want to hold a date you will have to cough up some
money to show you are serious (many establishments have gone out of business
due to this sort of lost business), but if you are concerned about an
establishment going out of business, hold off, or give them a smaller
deposit. I recommend the plan, plan, and plan some more approach, but don't
worry you will still be scurrying at the end.
