Congratulations! You are engaged!!! Saying "yes" to the man of your dreams is one of the greatest feelings!
But after the "yes" comes the questions. You may feel anxiety thinking about all you have "to do" to start planning the wedding of your dreams.
My first piece of advice is this - Stop! Relax... enjoy!
Take this time to enjoy being engaged with your new fiancee! It's a fun time to make your love even stronger in anticipation of your new life together. As long as you are not planning a shot gun wedding you have some time before you need to panic about all the details to come.
One of the greatest sites that I have found in the last year is www.pinterest.com.
I'm sure you have heard of this website, but I wish I had this when I was getting married! It is free to join and a wonderful tool to brainstorm ideas for what you envision to be your perfect wedding. I would start here! Have fun looking at all the wedding "pins" posted and start to create a wedding board with ideas.
The next place to go is www.theknot.com. The Knot allows you to create an account and even a wedding website for you and your fiancee. This site also gives you the ability to research even more ideas for your wedding including vendors, honeymoon options, dresses, etc.
Now that you have started your research and enjoyed your engagement, it's time to start booking! Below are the top 6 "to dos" that I recommend you start with.
1. Decide on your budget
2. Pick a wedding date/time of Year
3. Book your wedding venue & ceremony Site. Make sure your officient is available.
4. Book your florist
5. Book your DJ/band
6. Shop for your wedding dress
Stay tuned for my next few posts. I will go in to detail on each of these "to dos."
Love,
Kristin
