"So You Just Got Engaged?"


With the holidays coming up, many couples are getting engaged, which means shortly after, comes the first stages of planning a wedding! It may seem like a challenge with so many things to plan and organize, but before contacting wedding vendors and venues, take some time to brainstorm and jot down some ideas that you envision for your big day. 

Whether you have a specific "theme" in mind or not, one thing that will help tie everything together throughout the planning process is to decide on your wedding colors - this will of course be influenced by the time of year (a spring garden wedding might inspire green tones while a winter wedding silver or gold), but selecting a color or two that you feel really speaks to you will also help you out with choosing flowers, bridesmaid dresses and decor. You may also want to come up with an overall style idea for your wedding: "simple chic", "eco-friendly", "old hollywood", etc. This will really help narrow down the wide range of wedding ideas out there into something much more manageable.

What’s so great about the internet are the endless resources you can find such as this wedding checklist, which gives you a good breakdown of your planning timeline. As you make your way through all the planning all the way to when you walk down the aisle, remember to have fun with it and don’t feel too restricted with guidelines, but do what feels right!
