You Just Got Engaged And Want To Start Planning Your Wedding?
Congratulations on your engagement!
Whether you have been dreaming of your wedding day for years or don’t know where to begin, here is a simple checklist to help you get started:
1. Celebrate Your Engagement
Take some time to enjoy this special moment. Whether it is an intimate celebration with loved ones or a whole engagement party, cherish the joy of saying “yes”.
2. Set Your Budget
Discuss with your partner, and any other contributors, how much you are comfortable spending. Be realistic and allocate funds to what matters most.
3. Choose a Date or Season
Think about your ideal time of year: sunny spring blooms, or cozy winter vibes. Consider venue availability when narrowing down your options.
4. Start Your Guest List
Draft a rough guest list to determine the size of your celebration. This helps when choosing venues and vendors.
5. Create a Vision
Think about your wedding style. Use Pinterest or moodboards to gather inspiration for colours, themes and decor ideas.
6. Secure Your Vendors
Popular vendors like venues, photographers, wedding planners, stylists and florists book out quickly, so start researching and locking in these essentials first.
7. Send Save-the-Dates
Once you have confirmed your date and location, it is time to spread the word to your loved ones, so they can plan ahead and block out dates, holidays or time off work.
8. Get Organised
Use a wedding planning app, spreadsheet, or an actual wedding planner to track to-dos, budgets, and vendor details.
Staying organised and on-top of things earlier will make the process smoother, and less stress on your shoulders, especially closer to the day.
9. Embrace the Journey
Wedding planning can feel overwhelming whether you have an intimate wedding or the whole big bang!
So remember, to enjoy the process, make time for date nights, and celebrate the small wins along the way.
