You're Married, Congrats!! Now What
The day you get engaged is a whirlwind of highs. Then the champagne empties, the photographer leaves, and you’re left thinking…”what now?”
Not a professional wedding planner? Cool, me neither. Had a Pinterest page since the age of 8? Yeah, same. Still…putting these ideas into action is a different ballgame from clicking “pin” on a photo that may or may not cost more than you make in a year.
So where do you begin? First, take more than just a few days to let it all sink in. You’re ENGAGED! If your dating period was anything like mine (cough cough 7 years), then this is a HUGE sigh of relief. I promise, there will be plenty of time to stress and panic; use the first few weeks to enjoy this exciting time in your life!
Once the champagne has stopped flowing and your ever-so-perfect mani has begun to chip, it’s ready to get down to business. The best place to start is the WHERE and WHEN.
Step 1: Figure out if you want a destination wedding or something local, and let that serve as your roadmap.
Step 2: Narrow in on the time of year you’d like to get married, and if you envision it taking place indoors or outdoors.
Step 3: Put together a ROUGH budget.
Step 4: Put together an even rougher guest list.
You can use these four decisions to begin your online search for the perfect venue! Look up their website, insta pics, online reviews, etc and then schedule some calls with their wedding coordinator to get details.
