So you just got engaged!
First off, congratulations! Now comes all the questions, the ones not only you have but all the ones everyone is asking you. When's the wedding? Do you have a color scheme? Who are you inviting? and many, many more… Most importantly, this is about you and your partner starting the next chapter of your lives together. So, remind yourself and those around you to take a moment and soak in all of the joy of this moment.
Getting into the nitty-gritty, first thing to remember is that this is supposed to be a fun and exciting experience. Start with the fun stuff, like starting a Pinterest board. gathering things like the color palette, the overall feeling you want on that day, time of year your dream wedding takes place in. Which goes into the second portion, wedding date, it's a simple yet surprisingly hard decision. My advice is to choose the time of year, then go from there, say you dream of a summer wedding, now the date you and your partner get to make 100% of the decision, regardless of anyone else’s opinion, and yes, someone will have something to say about it. Whether it’s a date significant to your relationship or something as silly as 7/27/27 because it's a palindrome. Just remember that this is the beginning of your next steps, prioritizing you and your partner as a couple. Once you have your dream date and vision board thats where I come in, someone to handle the details and stress of wedding planning so you get to enjoy the process of dreaming up your perfect day.
