Wedding Planning Update!
It's 10 months to my wedding in a couple of days, and I thought it would be good to take a minute to give you all an update on how planning is going!
It's 10 months to my wedding in a couple of days, and I thought it would be good to take a minute to give you all an update on how planning is going!
So far we've:
- chosen the date (September 11th, 2016 - the 2 year anniversary of our first date!);
- chosen the wedding party (we're keeping it simple with just a maid of honour and a best man);
- created a budget (that we're seriously hoping to stick to!);
- booked the venue (a beautiful farm and forest in Rockwood, Ontario);
- decided on a preliminary menu with the caterer (100% vegan and mouth-watering);
- drafted the guest list (currently sitting at around 50, and we're hoping to keep it below 70), and;
- poured over Pinterest inspiration for hours on end!
What we have left to do in 2015:
- insure my engagement ring;
- choose an officiant;
- create our wedding website;
- make our save the dates;
- book musicians;
- finalize the guest list, and;
- start dress shopping!
I was starting to feel as though we hadn't done anything and were getting so behind. It's great to see the done and to-do list together to realize that we're actually pretty on track! We have almost 2 months to get those 7 items checked off, and other than choosing the dress (which I know is going to take a LONG time... how can I make a snap judgement on my wedding dress??) everything should be pretty easy to get done in a couple days of work.
If you're planning your wedding and not sure where to start, check out my wedding planning timeline here. It's a great guideline to follow so that nothing is left too last minute!
And for those of you who don't follow me on instagram (but why aren't you? I thought we were friends!) I'll include a couple shots of our venue!
Until next time,

The Ultimate Wedding Planning Timeline!
This week Jason and I celebrated our one year anniversary, which means we're now less than a year away from our wedding! While this makes me incredibly excited (I might have squealed for a second...) it also makes me more than a bit nervous. Only a year until our wedding?? How could we possibly get everything done? What needs to be tackled first? What do I do?? But luckily, being the organized bride-to-be that I am, I'd already compiled a list of tasks to get done before the wedding a couple of weeks after our engagement. Once I'd listed everything that came to mind I headed to Pinterest and searched for "wedding planning timeline". I then proceeded to repin every search result and add anything I'd missed to my list. By the end of a couple of hours I had a pretty comprehensive list, and I realized that other engaged couples may benefit from it! So here it is, the ultimate wedding planning timeline to keep you organized right up until your big day!

Without further ado, here's the ultimate wedding planning timeline! Pin it to your wedding board on Pinterest to refer to as you plan your big day!
Jason and I have almost completed the 12+ months before checklist. Not bad for two people as busy as we are! If you found this post helpful please share it with your friends and family who are planning their wedding. We've got to help each other out. This process is pretty daunting alone!
