Read on for tips to start planning a wedding!
Theme
Picking a theme will allow many other pieces to fall into place for your planning. Things such as venues, a dress style, food options, floral arrangements, etc. could become more clear just by picking a central theme. Themes that are popular right now include traditional romantic, rustic charm, beach, and destination. Any of those are a great starting point.
Essential Details
You can’t have a wedding ceremony with no wedding venue, date, or other essential details! Getting these nailed down first is integral to the rest of your planning, because these will affect things like invitations, decorations, and maybe even themes and/or possibilities for other pieces of the day.
Invitations
Getting your invitations out as soon as you possibly can is essential. This will allow your guests to ensure time off, money for gifts, money to purchase outfits, etc. This step will also take a huge stress off of your plate so that you can focus on putting everything else in place for the big day.
