The Master Plan?

I am getting married, I am going to be a Mrs! I have to change my name! I never realised before but this is a big deal.... what the hell do I do!! How do you start, where do I start??? 
People say you set a budget first and go from there, don't over spend! Is spending $4000 on photography too much, ummmm?? yes??? I think I know how much is too much, but do I really? I don't plan on spending the world BUT I don't want to limit myself because really I have NO IDEA how much these things they call weddings really cost!

I have this mag which gave me pages of lists to keep records of quotes, contacts, guest numbers, catering, rings costs etc...
This is great for the more formal arrangements but it misses the creative elements to preparing for the big day, the funky unique ideas, the gorgeous photos found on the web, the table decorations, the floral arrangements, the honeymoon plans blah blah blah.... I try to tell my mum, I found this amazing idea on the web but I can't show her it because she is a tiny bit crap with computers. (Sorry ma, most improved award for 2009)

me and my ma
I am hoping that this blog takes care of that! One place for all my crap! I can upload it at work, at home, at my mum's.... and anyone can see it... so here it is! I also thought that it may be useful for any other planner out there who is looking for some inspiration, because I got mine from a blog just like this! So thanks Summer picnic wedding, you have helped me alot!
So right now I am thanking my darling mother for raising me as a multi tasker! And thanking the blog world because it has become clear to me that despite his eagerness and willingness to help my darling fiancee has absolutely NO IDEA, god love him!

So here's to the first blog entry of Garden Party Bride!!
