A question about : July 2011 Brides

been on the june 2011 brides however think a July 1 needed to be started as i can't see one

30th July for me

so far a date and a few arguements if its gonna be here or abroad!!

Best answers:

  • Hello Saintly,
    Congratulations!
    I am going to be a July 2011 bride too, we cant set our date until december this year but we're aiming for either 2nd or 9th July 2011. We've got a few ideas and we've chosen our registry office but thats it so far.
  • oooh a july bride doesnt seem that many a the moment altho im sure it will fill up soon haha
    congrats cowchop xx
  • im acting like bridezilla already and its 2 years ish away!! at the rate im doin the OH's head in i dont think there will be a wedding. i just cant stop talkin about budgets and what ive found....currently my sentences start with "saw a thread on the wedding board and.........."
    i dont want a big posh wedding tryin to keep it to 4k, going to be a landy / milly bride, doin my own flowers, invitations as i keep saying to people i dont want a lot but i dont want to look back at my wedding an say i wish i'd had......
    i've had a serious think today an im controllin everything so have said to OH to think about what he wants to organise. which made me worse, he wants to name the tables after films....he is a film geek. dont want them called that but im soooo controlling i gotta let it go and move on!!
    not many july 11 brides here yet but just needed a rant
  • I know how you feel! I'm gettin gstressed already too! We're trying to keep ours small and as inexpensive... our register office only seats about 30 people so we decided we'd only have our imediate family plus his best man and my bridesmaid and their families... I've already got a couple of friends who are in a mood with me because they cant come... and one who's fiance has said we cant go to theirs... and now my OH has decided he wants two of our mutual friends to come, which will only create more problems with friends and family who cant come. Other than that I cant get my OH to make any decisions, he says its my day so its up to me but I want it to be special for both of us.... grrr!
    The thought of running to get married is sounding tempting!
  • my OH is exactly the same, its my day blah blah blah but its frustrating! we wanted a small wedding however the day list is at 75, 31 of these are mine (close family) so a word in his ear is going to happen as we cant afford to have 75 in the day and 150 at night!
    its your day, your paying for it, you can pick and choose who you want, in a ideal world you would have all of them! i think people shud realise that!
    running awy sounds perfect haha
  • Hello!
    Can i join you - just booked the wedding for 30th July 2011. So excited. Let the planning commence!
  • Can I join you? No firm plans yet, but hopefully booking a venue soon for July 2011.
    And yes, so far there have been one or two arguments!
  • I'm a July bride! 24th July 2010! I'm getting married in a zoo
  • I am getting married 30th July 2011,registrar permitting,although its not 100% at this moment in time.When dp and I first started talking about getting married,we said a registry office,bbq at home and then a reception in a venue for the evening but now we are looking into things properly,our attitudes are changing,we have looked at a Holiday Inn wedding for Ј999 but it restricts you on numbers and the day you can get married plus you have to pay for the registrar or I like the idea of sit down meal/buffet with the whole speeches thing(as never had that the first time round),so was thinking married at registry office then find a community hall get caterers,etc and do it that way?
    Anyway good luck to all the ladies organising their weddings

  • Aside from venue, what other planning have we all done? So far my venue is pretty much decided upon and in place, but I'm not sure when to start thinking about photographers, cars etc. I react really badly when stressed, so I'd like to plan this wedding gradually, but is now too early to do things like this?
  • Hi
    I won't be a July 2011 bride, but will be a July 2011 groom.
    Can I join in?
  • Booked today for July 6th 2011. it's just sinking in how much there really is to plan!
  • Just booked ours for Sat 2nd July 2011, at Eastwood Park, Gloucestershire, am so excited, am getting mixed messages from family and friends as when to book things or not, but for my piece of mind, I'm already getting quotes online for photographers and a DJ, florists are next.
    Good luck with the planning everyone
  • I thought I'd add an update on mine... we are now booked for 2nd July, we've spoken to our local Thai restaurant about doing our wedding breakfast and I'VE FOUND MY DRESS!!!! YAY!!!! A bit early I know but I fell in love with it and even more so when I found out it was only Ј395!!! (although they wont order it for me until the end of the year and they said if I find a dress I prefer in the shop they will transfer my deposit onto a different one.
  • Yippe! I have just got my confirmation of venue and date - 2nd July 2011. Was very scary sending off the deposit cheque but exciting too! We've booked the church and minister and started to put together photos of things that I like for the reception theme/decorations. Thinking of a Navy blue and ivory with hints of silver colour theme at the moment.
    And of course I spend time looking on MSE for ideas too!
  • Hello July 2011 brides and grooms!
    We've just booked the church for 30th July 2011 but no idea on reception venue yet! We've only been engaged since Easter so my head is buzzing!!
  • Hi July 2011 brides, we've just booked Sat 16th July!
    Church booked, trying to decide on caterer and marquee supplier. Anyone else having a garden marquee reception?
  • We're thinking of it as one possibility. Something I need to find out more about!
