Just Got Engaged, Now What?
Hello Lovebirds!
Here are Flying Little Birds’ 4 steps to Start Your Wedding Planning Journey!
First and foremost, congratulations! You’re about to embark on an exciting new journey and it’s important to take some time to breathe and enjoy that newly engaged feeling. When you’re ready to start the wedding planning process, it may feel overwhelming at first. A lot of newly engaged couples find themselves asking, “where do I even start?” There are a lot of components that go into planning a wedding, but we’re breaking it down for you with our tips to get you started in your wedding planning process.
Step #1 - Discuss Your Budget
It’s important to have this conversation early on in your planning process because it helps to determine many of the other important aspects of your wedding, like the type of venue you choose and how many guests you can invite. Setting your budget early will also help you keep track of the expenses that you encounter throughout your planning.
Step #2 - Define the Scope of Your Wedding
What is your vision for your wedding? Think about the big picture of what kind of wedding you and your partner want to have. Gather wedding inspiration from wedding websites, Pinterest, Instagram, magazines, anywhere! Determining your overall vision will help guide your decision-making throughout the process to create a cohesive concept.
Step #3 - Decide Your Non-Negotiables
Before you make any big decisions, like selecting your venue, you and your partner should each determine what your priorities are for the big day. What are your must-haves? This will help you narrow down your venue and vendor search. You want your wedding day to reflect both you and your partner, so be prepared to compromise on some things so that you can both feel happy with your wedding vision.
Step #4 - Book Your Planner
Planning your wedding should be a fun and exciting time for you as a couple! With so many big and little details to account for during the planning process, consider hiring a professional planner to help guide you. A wedding planner can bring expert knowledge and experience, so that you can focus on enjoying the journey and your big day!
Of course, there is a lot more that goes into the wedding planning process, but these are our most important tips to help you find a jumping off point. Throughout this time, focus on why you are doing all of this hard work in the first place – to celebrate your love with the person you have chosen to spend the rest of your life with!
