As the most you might know, we’re getting married next summer (summer 2018). At the moment there are about 5 months to the day. Earlier I wrote a to do list of things to do before the wedding, you can find it here.

 

 

Wedding Planning Update: 5 Months to the Wedding

 

So What’s Already Done

 

Above: I’ve been exercising quite much lately. I’m happy to be in a better shape than I was couple years ago 🙂

 

• We have booked the reception, we’ll get all foods, drinks, decoration and some other things from here
• We have booked the church
• I have chosen bridesmaid and found dress for her
• He has chosen bestmen
• We have booked honeymoon flights and done some planning, read more about our honeymoon plans + learn how to book flights for a multi-destination trip!
• We have booked hotels for the first week of our honeymoon
• I think I have lost enough weight – I started this project January 2015 and from there I’m over 30 pounds (over 15kg) down from there, I just have to keep it where I am now
• Booked the photographer for the day and for pre-wedding shots.
• We’ve been looking for the ring, however, we’re thinking that probably we’ll just go with our engagement rings
• Hairdressers and makeup artist booked for me and the bridesmaid
• I found and ordered the dress – it should arrive a month before wedding
• We have started asking people if they’re available that day (unofficial save the dates)

 

Above: I’ve got a whole of travel inspo from Architecture & Desing Facebook page. In this screenshot is Marina Bay Sands Singapore – we’ll be staying one night at this hotel and I cannot wait to explore this infinity pool!

To Do for the Next Couple Months

 

Above: Another hotel found from Architecture & Desing FB page. We haven’t yet booked this one but this Ayana Resort & Spa Bali seems to be a good option. Looks very Instagrammable and unique!

 

• Book the rest of the hotels for the honeymoon
• Do some general planning about the wedding and the honeymoon
• Start working on playlists and music
• Find a DJ
• Order and send the invitations (yep, this one is still not done oops!)
• Find shoes, bag and other accessories for me
• Take some time to meet reception staff and plan the flowers and taste the menu
• Take time to have prewedding photoshoot / plan when we’ll have that
• Find dress suits for the groom and his bestmen
• Figure out what kind of hair and makeup I want

 

Above: These are the best shoes so far. I want something white or beige I could use after the wedding as well. These are from Högl which is one of my favorite shoe brands – their heels are always super comfortable and classy. Anyhow, I’d prefer white shoes so I’ll keep looking.

 

Above: I’ve been collecting screenshots about beautiful hairstyles. Also, Pinterest is a great place to collect inspiring photos about wedding stuff. 🙂
