Wedding Planning tips:
-
It
is never too early to start planning your wedding.
The sooner you start, the less you will have to worry
about the closer it gets to the big day. Once you
are engaged, set the date and start planning. Even
if the wedding is a year or more away, you can get on
the road to
planning. Contact a wedding planner and just talk
about your ideas. Make a
wedding notebook and/or folder and pull
pictures out of magazines of all the things you like and make notes
about what you would like to have
for your wedding. Then go over your ideas with
your groom, at least ask him if he
wants to be a part of the planning even if he declines,
he may surprise you.
 Then come up with a budget and decide if you want a
traditional church wedding or maybe an outdoor wedding.
Then start shopping locations, the best locations are
those that can offer space for the ceremony and
reception. Be weary of the "all inclusive"
facility, though these places may save you money but
they often have many restrictions. Wherever you
decide to have your ceremony, just be sure they
can give you what you want! After all, it is
your day and you
should be able to have it your way!
Saturdays
in the spring and summer book fast at most places, try to book the location(s)
for your wedding about 9-12 months prior
to be sure you can get the date you want. Then
once you have the venue, start shopping for your other
vendor services.

of a date. The longer you wait, the harder it will
be to find what you need and want and then you may end up
having to settle or even pay more. Give yourself
time to find what you need and want and get the best
service at the best price.
Good Luck & Happy Planning!
