Break

Venues

I have been hardcore on the venue search and I'm getting into burn out mood. I have appointments set for the last weekend in January and more set in February. I told my Husband-2-Be that I need a break from it so I'm stepping away from venue hunting until after my February appointments. If people give me suggestions I will write them down and look at them later. 

This is a necessity. I will not let this wedding become a major stress factor in my life. I will still be doing wedding things (I am a planner) but I'm going to focus on the fun things for a change. 

I'm going to get my girls together. Order a few try on at home dresses and have a girls night in. I'm going to go to expos and network (I really enjoy talking with people). 

I might even settle on some music to walk down the aisle too.

I know I'm on a tight budget and that doesn't make things easier. But there comes a time when stepping back is better than trudging on. I've reached it.

Dresses

Is it very messed up, in my opinion, that there is no way to rent a bride's dress in Jacksonville, FL! But I'm not going into a rant there.

So I need to look to buy but see above for the budget issue. What to do? Luckily I have time. So I'm not at the stressing stage yet. I'm going to enjoy the window shopping while waiting for sales!

Closing...

I need more than a simply day here or there break from the venue search but I'm still trying to get an idea for the wedding. It should be fun to do and it is but at times focusing on one thing (especially a big thing) can run a person into burning out. I want to do the fun things for now and stop focusing so hard on that one major thing.
