Planning, planning and more planning

Ah! Most brides are not prepared for everything that needs to be done to plan a wedding. In fact, some have no clue and go into the planning blind with this thought in mind " Oh I can handle it.." well maybe you can handle certain parts then you stress out because you have to much to do, and then you feel like your forgetting something.. don't worry because your new best friend has a list for you!!! I'm going to take the next blog posts and dedicate them to the list, then when you and I have walked through the list together I'll write it out for you. So you can avoid looking like this girl below....









Yes my dear friends i do not want you biting your poor electronic devices out of frustration, especially when you can't afford a wedding planner. So Let's begin!

ANNOUNCE YOUR ENGAGEMENT-SET A DATE ,WHOSE IN YOUR WEDDING PARTY,VENUE, GUESTS,WEDDING DRESS

These are some of you first jobs as bride-to-be.

1. Announce your engagement:

Whether you do it through Facebook, or calling up everybody, share your excitement! Plus people may know vendors and make suggestions!!!

2. Set a Date:

Before you do anything, it might be in your best interest to have a date for the big day. That way it keeps you on track and that is your deadline. When you go to vendors, they are going to ask. Keep Venue in mind.

3. Wedding Party:

Who do you want to stand next you on your big day? How many do you want to stand next to you?

4. The Venue:

Where are you having the ceremony and where are you having a reception? This will help you figure out how many guests, your dress, and decorations. If your having an outdoor wedding, keep a close eye on weather conditions.

5. Guests:

Who do you want there to share your big day?How many guests? Once you have written out, discussed who's coming, with your fiance and parents of both, then you can send Save The Date cards to your guests. =) Get em' excited!! and plan around your wedding date. =)

6. The Dress:

The past two blog posts have been about wedding dresses. Here's links to my favorite salons and designers...
