I am sort of a wedding planning machine..
Booked a venue,
finalized the menue (still need to do a tasting to really finalize)
booked a band,
Photography,
chair hire,
string quartet,
string quartet,
almost done with the final drafts of the save the dates, invites, and wedding website (thanks to my amazing friends).
It's like I've done this before or something....
Oh and I found a dress that I LOVE.
But it is over my budget..
Not surprised.
I am determined to find a way to make this dress mine.
I'm not above stealing...
I'm not above stealing...
Our next big item is to find a florist who I trust to be able to do what I'm envisioning.
It is definitely becoming more real,
and I am getting even more excited.
But by far the best part of this is the man I get to marry,
and making this day about us.

I promise to share the date soon!
You can follow me along on pinterest if you are wanting to see the inspiration behind the day.
She's Dublin based, but the Informal Florist is amazing. Just wrote about her for Poppytalk! http://poppytalk.blogspot.ie/search/label/Dispatches%20from%20Dublin
ReplyDelete@Emily- thank you!! Ive often thought about going to the republic for flowers, but im worried about them having to travel so far. I had a look at her site and she is awesome though.
ReplyDeleteIf you need someone to drive the get away car after you steal the dress I am available.....!!
ReplyDeleteThe advantage is that I have driven the crazy little roads in Ireland and lived to tell the tale. Oh and we drive on the same side of the road in SA as they do over there!!!
eep! so excited :)
ReplyDeletei totally didn't get the dress i loved. mainly because it was 9x over my budget. god i wish i was one of those girls on that say yes to the dress show, just once. their budgets are in-sane.
You are on a roll! Good for you. Your inspiration looks amazing and totally what I would do so I love it even more. Ha -Heidi http://fabricandfrosting.blogspot.no/
ReplyDeleteSuper impressed. I would send you a virtual hug but I'm jealous of your national gymnastics team. Yours being YOURS, as in the USA.
ReplyDeleteI just want to be Gabrielle Douglas.
Not that this really has anything to do with you or your wedding...
*virtual hug anyway* Go Team Megphen! (I'm working on it..) Xx
I would get the dress if I were you, even if it is over budget, it's what you love and if you get something else it might not be as special as it could be of you had the perfect dress. Can't wait to see what the dress looks like!
ReplyDeleteLauren,

you seriously are a wedding planning machine! good for you!! you could totally be a wedding planner.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I've been engaged for almost a year, and haven't done anything yet. My fiance and I JUST made our date official - June 27th. And we have a venue in mind, but still need to book it. That's it so far. I'm not sure when I'm supposed to start dress shopping/etc. since it's still 10 months away. I have a checklist I found in a magazine and that said I was supposed to start looking last month and this month I'm supposed to buy it, but that seems like so much extra time!

ReplyDeletedang! you've got more done than me and i've been engaged for 8 months! haha. :) that's AWESOME now you can just relax until the big day. i'm so psyched for you!
ReplyDeleteThe wedding planning checklist would be done successfully, he is the best wedding planning of your life. cause of it's do wedding planner only.
ReplyDeleteit's like i've done this before... ha! :)
ReplyDeleteI really hope that you can find a way to get the dress that you love, though I'm sure you could make any dress loil lovely.
ReplyDeleteLook* not sure what happened there. :)
ReplyDeleteWEDDING PLANS! So exciting. I had a dream the other night I was getting married (too soon, way too soon). I would much rather live vicariously through you--although I too am in love with someone from the UK.
ReplyDeletexoxo
I live vicariously through your wedding plans. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's all coming together, and hopefully it's not too stressful. I can't wait to see pictures of the day once it's here! :)
You are my favorite and I could not be more excited for you and S!
ReplyDeleteLook at you go! So exciting. Your wedding is going to e beautiful :) and go for the dress! I bought a dress that was under my budget and then decided at the last minute that I wasn't happy with it, bought my dream dress after all and didn't get it until 2 DAYS before my wedding. So save yourself from that :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you got a lot done already...yay for you! Wedding planning is so fun, I remember planning mine and I really loved it! Ahhh the pictures are Beautiful and I can't wait to see your vision put together, it's going to be stunning!
ReplyDeleteIt's like I've done this before or something....
ReplyDeleteIt's probably deja vu. hahaha
Wow girl, you're on a roll, nice :)
ReplyDeleteSo, so excited for you! The two of you are going to have one gorgeous wedding day!
ReplyDeleteHey Megan! I just wanted reach out to you because I have a sample/ consignment store in charleston, sc and very well might be able to track your dress down for a fraction of the price! I've read your blog for a while now and love it! I'd love to help you! If you want me to see if I can find it, my email address is fusselje (atgmail) have so much fun planning!!
ReplyDeletedaaaaaannnggg girl.... can you come tackle some of my checklists once you are wed? thanks, dude...
ReplyDeletebut in all seriousness... i am so ready for you to be married just so i can drool over the pictures.. (of course, i am assuming your wedding already conflicts with some important event in my life, hence why i wont be able to make it, hence why you wont even invite me in the first place..)
boy, i just saved you some awkwardness, didnt i?
Yay! I've been a wedding planning machine over here too! We picked a date, picked the venue, locked down the photography... It's been so much fun & Pinterest is like a life saver :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteBecause it started with reading this. And knowing how happy you are.
So happy for you, you don't even know! Oh man... when I first found your blog I was addicted to your humor and life in Scotland. And now this whole wedding planning is making me even more in love with your life. I mean... I love my man, but to plan a wedding with Pinterest? Game changer.

Your wedding will be as if all the best aspects of blogland and pinterest just blew up and made magic. Am I right?? Yes.
ReplyDeletei remember all this excitement, which seems ages ago now although it was two to three years ago...crazy!
ReplyDeleteand i can't wait to see the dress--i bet it is amazing!
Oh my your a fast one! It sounds like you have wedding planning in your blood. It's all very exciting. I am helping with my friends wedding at the moment and its just soo fun. Will look forward to my own one day :) I hope your dress is as gorgeous as the one in the picture. If you need some help I am not beyond stealing either. :)
ReplyDeleteAh....so fun. These flowers are gorge. So is the calligraphy on that place setting. I die.
ReplyDeleteWOW! You're kicking ass Megan! You really *are* a wedding planning machine! Good job!
ReplyDeleteWow didn't you just get engaged yesterday?! That's amazing you have all that done!
ReplyDeleteSitting here with a huge smile on my face. Soo excited for you.
ReplyDeleteYou are moving right along! Yay! I love the pinterest!
ReplyDeleteYou are on top of your shiz! I am just pinning away without actually doing any REAL planning stuff. Stalked your pinterest...inspiration is gorgeous! I repinned some of yours too...check out my wedding board...

you are on top of your shit! SEriously. Aaron and I have been engaged for well over a year and we haven't picked a date yet- although, I think we did the other night while drunk at a bar, LOL, I don't remember the date. I mostly feel like we're already married. I can't wait to hear more about your planning!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these wedding related posts. Keep 'em comin'! Call me crazy for not knowing, but what is a "chair hire"? I also love that you can poke fun about having already had a wedding, in my opinion (not that I have a right to one) I think having that experience will only make this wedding/marriage (more importantly) even better for you an Stephen. Hope you find a way to get your dress!
ReplyDeletehow exciting!
ReplyDeleteYou are on top of it girl! I am impressed! And, I would be the same with the dress, once I've fallen in love with something it's over - I'm sure it will end up in your closet one way or another :)

ReplyDeleteYAY. So glad you are enjoying this and making the most of it all!
ReplyDeleteCheck Ruffledblog.com you may be able to find the dress used if that doesn't bother you! After my wedding I posted pretty much all the decor items and made a lot of my money back :)...might be safer than stealing....just a thought
ReplyDeleteNice Photos and Blogs.I Like It

exciting! good for you - and you should probably just get the dress if it's the one.
ReplyDeleteI am following you on pinterest since I love planning a good wedding. I have my own board even though I am already married. Now if that's not crazy, I don't know what it.
ReplyDeletePlease check out these brooch bouquets. Je.Sus.
The bridal dress, cakes and flower image were shared was perfect. The wedding theme color was picked is very good that is light pink. Many of the wedding planning people are in confusion state where to start a wedding planning. They should use the wedding mobile app and it will guide into the successful wedding.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for sharing this! Very useful! Planning a wedding is a lot of work - I helped my sister plan hers. We started by creating a list of what needed to be done from selecting the guests to picking a venue and onto the small things like considering a charter bus rental for those in the wedding. It's a lot of work, but it can be done as long as you give yourself enough time.
ReplyDeleteGo ang get that dress! I'm definitely sure it would look good on you and you make a stunning bride. I'm excited for you!
