So, You’re Engaged! Now What?
Get organised
When you are ready to get down to the wedding planning – I'd suggest getting an organiser or a planner to keep everything in one place. There will be a lot to coordinate over the next few months. Get into the habit of keeping important information in a specific place – there's nothing more frustrating than trying to hunt out a contract or rsvp’s when you really need them.
Start to think about what kind of wedding you are wanting to have. A formal gathering? A relaxed outdoor wedding? Do you want a church? If you have no ideas where to start think about what kind of personalities you have as people, do you enjoy a good party or are you happier at smaller, more intimate gatherings?
The Internet is a great help when it comes to planning a wedding. Pinterest and Instagram are great places to start. Create your own mood board and pin things that appeal to you, it’ll be handy when showing your suppliers colours, the atmosphere and moods you want to recreate for your day.
Next, it’s time to think about what’s important to you as a couple. You may have always wanted a hog roast at your wedding or to arrive by horse and cart, if you have something that you have always had your heart on then you should have it – and if you have a budget, make savings elsewhere.
