The Oklahoma Bride’s 6-Month Countdown: Everything You Can Check Off at Once
Getting engaged is one of the most exciting moments of your life — until you realize just how much there is to plan.
The dress, the venue, the catering, the décor, the photographer… suddenly, six months doesn’t sound like much time at all.
But here’s the truth: you can absolutely plan your dream Oklahoma wedding in six months or less — especially when you choose a venue designed to make the process effortless from start to finish.
At Rose Briar Place, we’ve helped hundreds of couples pull off stunning, stress-free weddings on short timelines. Whether you just got engaged or recently decided you don’t want to wait another year, here’s your step-by-step guide to planning a wedding in six months — and how to check off almost everything at once.
Month 1: Secure Your Venue (and Your Date)
Your wedding venue is the foundation of your entire day — it determines your date, your style, your guest count, and even your budget.
If you’re planning on a shorter timeline, booking your venue should be your very first step. The good news? All-inclusive venues like Rose Briar Place handle most of your big decisions for you.
When you book with us, you’re not just securing your ceremony and reception space — you’re also checking off:
✔️ Décor and setup
✔️ Tables, linens, and chairs
✔️ Catering options
✔️ Custom cake
✔️ Day-of coordination
✔️ MC for your reception
✔️ Setup and teardown
That’s dozens of decisions handled in a single booking — saving you time, money, and stress from day one.
Month 2: Choose Your Design Package
Once your venue is booked, it’s time to start dreaming about how your day will look and feel.
At Rose Briar Place, we offer three all-inclusive design packages — Classic, Prestige, and Majestic — so you can choose your ideal aesthetic and budget.
✨ Classic Package: Simple, elegant, and timeless — perfect for minimalist or traditional brides.
✨ Prestige Package: Adds refined details and décor upgrades for a more elevated experience.
✨ Majestic Package: Includes premium features like gold Chiavari chairs, a boxwood wall or arbor, cold spark exits, and photo booth access.
Because setup and takedown are included, you can finalize your décor vision in one meeting — not dozens of separate appointments.
Month 3: Book Your Key Vendors
With your venue and design handled, it’s time to book your other major vendors:
Photographer & Videographer – Capture your day beautifully. We can provide trusted recommendations who know our space perfectly.
Florist – Choose blooms that complement your package décor and season.
Bartending Service – We allow licensed bartenders for your event; ask us for referrals!
By month three, your major team is in place — and thanks to your all-inclusive venue, most of the logistical details (timing, layout, setup) are already covered.
Month 4: Finalize Your Details
This is where the fun really begins. With the heavy lifting behind you, you can focus on the details that make your day personal:
Your ceremony music and readings
Cake flavors and design
Menu selections (or finalizing your outside caterer)
Wedding attire and fittings
Guest list and invitations
Because your venue already handles coordination, rentals, and setup, you can focus on the creative elements — not the logistics.
Month 5: Confirm the Timeline & Relax
Your Rose Briar coordinator will meet with you to build your detailed wedding day timeline — from ceremony cues to reception transitions.
We’ll also confirm all vendors, manage delivery times, and handle communication with your team. This is when couples start to really relax, realizing they’re in good hands.
While we handle logistics, you can spend your month enjoying:
Bridal showers
Bachelor/Bachelorette parties
Final dress fittings
A few well-deserved date nights
Month 6: Celebrate — It’s Here!
The week of your wedding, you should feel calm, confident, and cared for — not overwhelmed.
Our coordinators will ensure everything is set up exactly as planned. Your décor, linens, and settings are placed to perfection. Your MC keeps your timeline flowing. Your vendors are ready, and your guests are greeted with a seamless experience.
You’ll spend your day doing what you’re meant to do — enjoying every moment.
From your first look to your grand exit, we handle everything else.
