I have had a frustrating time getting DJs to email me back. The one that did was over aggressive (as well as overly expensive). I did finally hear back from a DJ that J actually knows-- they used to play on the same softball team-- and he is giving us a heck of a deal. The problem-- I contacted him on November 3rd and just finally got an answer from him last week. Then, when I replied to his email, I didn't hear back again. Ugh.
While my parents were in town, I decided to drag them to Safeway to see if I could get a better response from their floral department on whether they could order our flowers for us. No go. In fact, the woman was extremely cool in her response and clearly wasn't listening to what I was asking. Unfortunately, she was the same person that I had spoken to on the phone back in November-- the same person that admitted that she hoped she would be transferred in January. Yeah, not very friendly. My parents just stared at her. The funniest part of the conversation was when she told me that floral prices had skyrocketed in the past two months and I should consider not doing flowers at all. It was an interesting conversation, to say the least. But-- after a lot of internet obsessive searching, I found some great wholesalers online that I think will work. Considering I'll be creating at least 20 centerpieces and 5 bouquets within days of the wedding-- I'm seriously thinking of ordering the bouts on Etsy! Are any of you doing your own florals? Have you ever used the wholesale option?
The vintage wallpaper I ordered arrived today, all the way from Australia! I can't wait for the envies to arrive and see if this paper will actually work. At least that will get me past this lull.
Have you gone through a planning lull? It seems to me like I'm just stuck.

I've had the same problem with our dj - they are just on a different plane I think!
Also, we totally go through planning lulls - usually because we're tired or too busy to get to work! Ugh - my wedding is just over 4 months away so I'm right there with ya! Good luck!
oh lord girl. i know where you're at...and trust me when i say:
enjoy it.
i'm freaking out right now. 3 and a half months to go and i can't seem to get it all done.
i'm panicky for the first time.
advice if you want: even if it seems to early right now, do something to save you from having to do it later...like have you figured out what your confetti is going to be, or how you are going to present it? are you having somebody read something? do you have your ceremony mapped out?
sorry. as you can see...i'm totally freaked.
xo
the 5-6 month lull is the worst! don't worry though, things will pick up quickly!
