July 2014 Brides

[junomei]

I bought my dress back in April.... Course I live in way north Alberta and had to make a trip to west Edmonton mall just to find the One I was looking for. It's an Alfred Angelo which is taking 8 months to arrive. So it'll get here in January which gives me lots if time to schedule another trip to Edmonton.... Plus I have some specific alterations/additions I want to get done.

Has anyone gone dress shopping yet? I am dying to go because I already have a few in mind I want to try on but I still think it's a little to early for the dress.

So any day now you could logically start dress shopping and give yourself lots of time so you don't limit you dress options at all.

I haven't been able to book anything yet and still have my date on hold because the TA I'm working with do the whole flight/hotel package and the flights for July 2014 aren't out yet.

Yes I am! I am not exactly how my TA was able to do it, but she was able to get us rates back in February! She worked with Air Canada Vacations as well as the resort to find us the best deal. Our guests have just put deposits down so far- they are due July 15. Everyone was very good about it being so early because of the great rate we are getting. Flights should be out very shortly if they are not already. My TA told me that a year ahead they should all be out.

Happy Planning!

Picked up my travel info at the TA work for my site visit on the 25th and she said we should be able to start seeing deals and booking for July 2014 by October!!!! Ahh I already have guests asking me when can they start booking. Definitely can't wait to go dress shopping but I want to shed a few pounds before I go! LOL in the meantime I will continue my shopping spree of wedding decor. Already purchased maracas, starfish for place cards, and passport covers for my bridesmaids and myself.

Between this forum and pinterest, I am obsessed! What the hell am I going to do after all the planning is over!!!!!

Haha and yea I just look at shit - are you looking at other places while down there? We're staying at Dreams but checking out Occidental - 2 in 1 lol I feel like I should have more done - but I don't lol
