Planning a winter christmas wedding! Ideas and help appreciated!
I guess I belong in here 
my fiancé proposed on my trip in August and I'm getting started on wedding plans! We are having a December wedding! Winter/christmas theme, we can't set a 100% date yet because Jed is in the navy and is still currently waiting for his leave to be approved so things are on hold until then -.- however I am aiming for the 20th December 2014 as Jed's put in leave for the 15th so that gives us enough time to get our marriage license and spend some time together before the big day. I'll be flying to Maryland from the UK on the 10th December so I can help with some of the arrangements, Jed's family are being a huge support since I never knew how difficult it is planning a wedding more so when you're not in the country! I'm hoping for a church wedding, Jed isn't keen on the idea but that's because he gets nervous but he says he will do it for me as it's what I want. I told him I don't mind not having a church wedding and would just do it at the restaurant or the court house but Jed is so back and forth with it lol he can't make up his mind lol I only want a church wedding because I wanna walk down the aisle to my "wedding" song LOL but I am just happy that I get to marry the man of my dreams so whatever he wants I will be happy. We are going to have the reception at a restaurant and 30+ people will be coming, it was going to be a lot more but we asked Jed's mom to cut the numbers as we only wanted a small wedding nothing too big.I am just hoping they still have the 20th December open and it doesn't get booked as we can't put down a deposit until leave has been approved -.- Jed picked up his wedding band and my engagement ring a few days ago from being re sized. My wedding band had to be pre ordered as they can't re size it without breaking the ring so it has to be ordered in the size I need because of my tiny 3 and half sized fingers LOL so my wedding band won't be ready until at least November or even very early December O_O I already have my wedding dress and I love it so much! It's an Alfred Angelo 2083 It's literally my dream dress, it fits perfectly no alterations needed, I was hesitant to try it on when it arrived as I ordered it in a size 2 which is normally the size I am but as of right now I am a size 4/6 due to my kidney problem my stomach is currently the size of someone who is 6 months pregnant O_O I am having surgery in November to remove a kidney so by wedding time I should be back to normal but I was desperate to try on my dress to see if it did need alterations especially to the length since I'm only 5'3. I was so surprised my dress fit perfectly! It even flattered my stomach! Corseted backs are so forgiving LOL luckily it was done up looser so once I'm smaller again it'll still fit perfectly! It's a little long on me without heels on but since I'm wearing heels it's not a problem! It has the most amazing semi cathedral train which I love with all the details that are on the dress too! I'll be wearing a boho flower garland and a two tier veil which comes down to my lower back. I can't decide on how I want my hair but probably down and wavy. I have plenty of time to figure that out! I'm currently trying to find my bouquet but I haven't found anything yet
I have no idea how to plan a wedding especially since I'm far away! Does anyone have any ideas or advice? It'll be great to hear from people who have been there!
Thanks for reading!
