Before you begin planning, but after you have decided on your budget, take a few weeks to simply write down what you and your spouse want when it comes to vendors and venues! List them based on importance and what means the most to you, this way you have an idea of where your money will go first, second, third, etc.
Try to keep an open mind! No wedding day or planning goes perfect, even with having the best team. Things can simply fall behind! Best advice is to keep the vendors updated and keep things moving along the best you can! Things happen, but having a plan A and B can really make it better!
Lastly, although wedding planning is fun, it can also be stressful! During the process, make sure you take a break from the planning and still focus on each other. You guys are still a couple and still have needs, and rights to go out on a date! Do so without bringing up the wedding planning/ wedding dreams! It will be nice to have the break!
you'll hear from me shortly.
