Helping my sister plan a spring '09 wedding. Booked the Synagogue and the band. Anything else high priority? When do we need to find a florist and shop for a dress? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

If she's having a band, then I'd start looking into that since the good ones are usually snatched up quickly. Don't know about availability of DJs if that is your sister's choice. [ Reply | More

good idea, we'll look at florists next week when she comes to NY (she lives out of state, which is why I'm planning for her). Dress can wait a week or 2 longer [ Reply | More

are you sure the rabbi is available? other than that, you seem completely under control. If you enjoy dress shopping, start now so you can go to a lot of places and not be rushed. [ Reply | More

thank you, we feel under control, but it is difficult since the Bride and Groom live a few hours away. Luckily, my sister is super easygoing and trusts me 100%, so I'm planning on her behalf. Will likely go to a few dress stores in 1 day and then just pick. Sister is pretty w/ a great figure, so should be easy. I however, am a pregnant whale! [ Reply | More

thank you for saying that, but we are really both lucky! Best friends, truly happy for each others successes. She considers my DH her big brother, and is a wonderful Aunt to my DS, who adores her. This is so little, and fun to boot. [ Reply | More

nothing wrong with doing those things now. I booked everything early and never once was worried, frantic or felt crazed about the wedding. I also never used a planner since I did things early. Congrats to your sis [ Reply | More

We started planning for a September wedding in late January. Got the synagogue, reception location, rabbi, band and photographer first so sounds like you are on track. I went dress shopping in Jan/Feb and decided at the end of Feb. and had PLENTY of time. The dress came in a full 5 weeks before I needed to go in for my first fitting. I think the next things we did were invitations and the florist and then everything else was done afterwards. [ Reply | More
