With so many of you saying “YES!” in 2024, it’s officially time to start planning the wedding of your dreams. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate elopement, a destination wedding, or a grand celebration, here are some of the first things you should do once getting engaged:
Pop the Champagne and Celebrate!
This moment deserves all the excitement. Show off that gorgeous ring, post those announcement pics, and maybe even throw an engagement party! It’s your time to bask in the glow of love and let everyone share in your joy.
Create a Wedding Email
Trust us, staying organized is key! Create a dedicated email just for wedding planning. It’s a lifesaver for keeping vendor communications, contracts, and RSVP confirmations in one place. Plus, it makes switching into “wedding mode” feel so official!
Tackle the Guest List
We know, it sounds daunting, but starting your guest list early is a game-changer. Even a rough estimate will help you figure out what size venue you’ll need and give vendors an idea of what to plan for. Pro tip: don’t forget to account for plus-ones and kiddos when doing your headcount!
Lock in Your Venue to Set the Date
The venue is the backbone of your wedding day—it determines your date, vibe, and even other vendor availability. Once your dream spot is booked, the countdown begins! From there, you can start reaching out to other vendors (like US! 👋). Remember, top vendors book up fast, so don’t wait too long to snag your dream team.
Dive Into the Fun Stuff
Now the real magic begins—picking out your colors, deciding on your theme, and dreaming up every detail that will make your day uniquely you. Pinterest boards at the ready, friends!
We can’t wait to celebrate with you in 2025, making all your wedding dreams come true. If you are still in need of an engagement photographer, or wedding photographer, you know where to find us (HERE!) Cheers to love, laughter, and the most amazing year ahead! 🥂✨
