Just got engaged?
Planning a wedding might seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Start by dreaming big—sit down with your partner and imagine your perfect day. What’s most important? The venue, the dress, the food, or just having all your favourite people in one place? Knowing your priorities helps you focus on what really matters.
Do you want your wedding to be fun? Serious? Playful? Emotional? Working this out will really help when it comes to the rest!
Next, get a rough idea of the budget. This doesn’t mean knowing every penny yet but having a ballpark idea of what’s realistic. Once you’ve got that, make a guest list—it’s crucial for choosing the right venue and planning costs. Remember.., as hard as it is, it’s your wedding!
From there, start researching venues, vendors, and dates. Pinterest boards (big must! I love to see them), Instagram, and recommendations from friends are great for inspiration, but don’t forget to ask questions—what’s included in a package, or what’s the plan for rain at an outdoor venue?
Remember, planning is a process, not a sprint. Take breaks, celebrate small wins (like booking your dream videographer, hey!), and keep the day about you two. With a bit of patience and a lot of excitement, you’ll create a day to remember forever!
