Short on Time?

I recently met with a couple who was looking to get married in July - yes, a mere five months from now. We sat down for our initial consultation and since they both have demanding jobs, they simply haven't had time to plan - even the date is not set in stone.

I reassured them that it is completely possible to plan the entire wedding weekend in the time frame, especially with the date being somewhat flexible. I left the meeting feeling energized to begin the planning process and am anticipating creating an event that reflects exactly what they want for their big day.

If you have your heart set on a Spring wedding, but he doesn't pop the question until December, don't fret - get to work right away (or hire some help) and your Spring nuptials will be exactly what you have always wanted.

Oh Aletha, I would love this challenge. I can only how imagine how impressed your clients are going to be when you put together an amazing July wedding! All the best! x.

I couldn't agree more! Couples always think 3 or 4 months isn't enough, but I LOVE planning weddings on a tight schedule and it's completely possible for people!

This is a little off topic, but I want one of those vintage calendars that you have in your post picture.. haha

I got engaged on New Year's Eve and married on May 29 - not even 6 months later. It is entirely possible, especially if you prioritize what are the "Must Have" items and have a flexible attitude about the rest. Having a planner helps even more!

It *can* be done!
