i seem to be the only girl who has no idea what to do when it comes to planning a wedding!!

[PenguinPal14]

My fiance proposed last year and i have started to look around at what i want but i have no idea what i am doing!!

i picked a bridesmaids dress, they all hate it, picked another 1 hated it the other 2 thought it was ok there dress is harder than fine to find (1 shop 4 try ons and i got it)

Im trying to book cars how many do i have? who am i supposed to ferry to the church? once there at the church do i ferry them to the hotel? the nest day do i get them home?

People keep asking me about photo booths? entertainment? casinos? chocolate fountains and telling me i need them all otherwise everyone will be bored

when did it turn into such a minefield? or am i just very out of touch and not a tad bit girlie?

Here's something else to remember :)

I'm two months away from the wedding and still have no idea how it's all going to come together. We've booked all our suppliers but I have visions of co-ordinating everyone in my wedding dress, I can't quite get used to the concept of having a wedding co-ordinator who, I assume, will co-ordinate it all. I'm just clueless. DH-to-be is a better wedding planner than I am.

Wedding fairs are good for ideas but I came away a bit like because someone was booking her suppliers for a wedding in December 2019 and I can't wrap my head around that level of organisation, I was just in awe.

I beat you PigInMuck86 - i went from proposal to walking down the aisle in 8 weeks.

OP, the ONLY bit that matters is the legal/religious bit, so make sure you book that. Might be longer if it's in a church or other religious building, because you might have to have bans(?) bands(?) read or something. If organised religion isn't your thing, it's all much easier (no disrespect if religion is important to you)

So, you need to book the service.

Then it's nice to have some form of party, and good if that's walking distance or very close to the legal/religious bit. If it isn't, it's kind to arrange transport, or give very long notification that guests will have to travel.

I had a bunch of flowers (not a bouquet) (£15 instead of over £200), no cake (I don't like cake!) and a friend taking pics. My dad owned a nice car, so I had pics of us in a pretty car. I brought my best woman a dress from M&S which we both liked. I didn't have bridesmaids (now as a parent, that's the only decision I regret - cousin's children would have loved it).

We had a registry office wedding and then a venue 10 mins walk away, photos, food as much drink as my parents could afford and a friend playing with his band.

I borrowed an etiquette book from the library and used as much of it as suited me. It reminded me to write thank yous promptly, give presents to the bridesmaid and the bride's mother, so it was handy.

I'm a 'girl' and would have no idea how to plan a wedding. You may not have meant to but your op sounds really sexist. 'Girls' aren't all born with a wedding planning, or even wedding desiring gene you know.
