You’ve got the ring…you are officially engaged!  All you need to do is pick a date and everything else will fall into place, right? Wrong! This is when the planning begins! The process will be filled with many fun and memorable moments… like…finding “The Dress” or the perfect reception site and the date is available! Some of you have dreamed about this day since you were a little girl and some of you have already began keeping a wedding planner and ideas book. It’s probably filled with pictures you have torn from bridal magazines, fabric samples, and color swatches…some of you have even filled it with your favorite love quotes from movies, poems, and books. As exciting as this time is, a time to be celebrated and enjoyed with family and close friends, make sure you give yourself ample time to get all the details just as you want them.

Make a plan! Identify the areas that are most important to you and your fiancé.  Then, work your plan! You are going to be making many decisions:  What are your colors? Afternoon or evening? Do you want an indoor or outdoor ceremony and reception?  Dj or band? Plus, countless other decisions.
