Civil Wedding Vows - I am planning for my weddings (a civil ceremony in June and a church one in December). Help!?

I am planning for my weddings (a civil ceremony in June and a church one in December). Help!?

I need wonderfully simple yet clear step-by-step guidelines on how to go about things without losing my strength and sanity. I prefer to be in control but not be stuck neck-deep in stressful concerns. The plan also has to be very budget-friendly.

If you go to davidsbridal.com you can create an account and set up the outfits of your entire wedding part to get a sence of what you want to wear and then shop around for prices. As for decorations you should try orientaltrading.com i know they have a lot of wedding things but I have never really checked that section out. I like oriental trading a lot anyways.
Use a local minister small church and keep the guest list small and manageable
My best advice is to go to http://ezweddingplanner.com/wedding-planner.cfm and use their planner. You can set up one planner for each ceremony date too. This will keep everything in order for you from reserving your venues & food to sending out your invitations and everything in between. This planner will also help you stick with your budget. This is the planner that both my daughter and I used and I absolutely love it. And it's FREE!!! De-stress yourself with a planner! Congratulations and Good Luck!!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! This is a wonderful, but stressful, time in your life. Part of the stress comes from having the bills for various aspects of your wedding add up. You have the dress, the flowers, the reception, etc. So, to alleviate your stress, you need a source for saving money.
