Congratulations, you're engaged! The next year promises excitement and maybe some overwhelm, but I'm here to help guide you through it all.
You've said "yes" to your soulmate, and now you're following every wedding vendor on Instagram 😆 But before diving headfirst into planning, take a moment to revel in your newly engaged bliss as a couple. Being on cloud nine is incredible, but resist the urge to book everything immediately. First, you need to dream a little. What vibe are you envisioning for your special day? Sweet and intimate, wildly extravagant, elegantly formal, festival fun, retro funk, relaxed tradition, or totally unique to you both? Oh, and that all-important factor - the budget!
Plunging into planning mode right after getting engaged could lead to stress overload. Without a vision, you might make rash decisions you'll regret.
Start by creating a wedding mood board to nail down your stylistic direction. If a planner fits the budget, they can manifest your dream day, even if you're not quite sure what that is yet. Plus, planners often end up saving you money!
Before any big choices, take time to simply bask in being engaged. Then, grab a cozy notepad (or fire up a spreadsheet if you're that kind of couple!) and snuggle up to jot down your biggest priorities together.
