2025 brides
We get married 2025

Anymore 2025 brides! Where are you with your planning~~~
 
Hi!!
I'm newly engaged (3 days ago!!) and just at the very beginning.

Hoping for August 2025, viewing the venue we love next week.

Overwhelmed doesn't come close!

Where are you up to?
I have contacted several venues and am planning to visit them in person. Additionally, I plan to visit Aunomay to look at bridal dress and I bought some bridesmaid dress swatches from Azazie.
 
Ooh, I think I'm in this group!
We made a daytime registry office guest list
We've made a few visits to try and sort out an evening reception
We're planning on May/June next year, with a small budget.
There's a few beautiful dresses on Monsoon in the sale that I'm very tempted by, but the diet has started today, so I'm hoping for a size or two smaller ☺️

Would you choose a wedding dress online? I'm worried that it might be inconvenient if it doesn't fit well. I will buy the bridesmaid dresses online.

My plan is to go to a shop, try a few on for styling/ colour/ size advice, then hunt one out second hand or online. But with places like Monsoon there's a normal returns policy in place, so no harm in trying them out 🤷‍♀️
If I'm doing the rest of the wedding on a budget, I can't justify the £1000ish that wedding dresses seem to cost on average.

Yes, I also don't want to spend £1,000 on a wedding dress that I'll only wear once. I plan to buy two dresses: one formal and elaborate, and another more casual and comfortable for dancing all day.
 
I am pre-emptively joining you!
Me and the other half talked about marriage. A few days ago I accidentally found an engagement ring, so I'm sure it won't be too long before a proposal!
We've talked about the kind of wedding we'd like. He wants a Catholic church wedding. I'm not as keen, I'd always envisaged it being non religious. But if it is what he wants, I'll go with it!
I'd like to get married next May, he's a teacher, so it will need to be in the holidays. We could maybe do Easter, but I prefer May!
On a really tight budget, unless we get any offers of help once we announce (which is possible, my dad, his dad, my aunt all of which will be delighted with the news and I suspect may make monetary offers). So I'm planning on a 1k wedding otherwise. I'll be sourcing second hand items including dress as much as possible. I'd like to have the reception at home, but I think DPs family is too large for it to work. Doing a quick head count on his side alone from his parents and siblings plus partners/kids - would be 22. We have 4 kids between us. My immediate family would be 10. Then we've a friend with 7 kids... other friends plus work colleagues. Easily getting on for 65+ people. And one toilet 🤣🙈🤭. It's also a semi detached (albeit large downstairs space and large garden) and I'm not sure the neighbours would be overly pleased!
I'm so excited right now, I just want to get properly planning with him, but I can't do anything until he pops the question!

Hi!
Planning going okay here, though I probably need to get a shift on.
Registry office booked, pub reception afterwards booked. I think the room for me to stay before/ after the wedding is sorted, though I need to double check.
Dress has been bought, I went for one from a sample sale for £500, with alterations included.
Photographer booked yesterday ☺️

Still need to finalise guest list/ sort invitations and decide food as the next items on the list, and speak to the band about timings to see whether we need a DJ too. Debating whether to bother with a cake.
 
So far I've done
Booked registry office
Booked reception venue
Booked DJ
Booked photographer
Bought my dress
Booked wedding car
Still need to finalise hair and make up, buy rings, but bridesmaid dresses and FH needs to sort his and BM suits
 
Looks like I’ll be joining you! (2nd time for both of us, though!) Did the white gown and church last time, this is going to be much more intimate!)

Anyone writing their own vows to include commitment to step kids? Ages range from 22 to 3 so huge variation in understanding and what they need from us! I’d love some good ideas!
