Develop a Budget – This will determine the scope of your wedding. Choosing a venue will be a large part of your budget as well as your food and bar. Your wedding planner will be able to help with this crucial and complex part of the planning process.

Guest List – Should be tailored to your budget. Who do you want surrounding you on your special day?

Timeline – develop with your wedding planner a rough timeline for the time of year you would like to get married. How many months are you going to have to plan? Having a wedding planner will keep you on track getting your wedding underway. This way you are not having to stress.

Create a Wedding Design Concept – what do you want your wedding to be; soft, light colors making it feel romantic whimsical or deep, rich colors having a more modern contemporary feel? Is it going to be inside or outside and rustic? How are you wanting the venue to reflect the Design Concept? If you do not have the answers yet, do not worry, your wedding planner can help with all of this.

Just remember, this is a happy occasion! Try to take a deep breath and have fun, being newly engaged is a once and a life time experience.
