Where to Start with Planning
The first step in planning your wedding is to create a clear vision. Ask yourselves: do you picture an intimate gathering with close friends and family, or a grand celebration that lasts all night? Once you have this in mind, set a budget, it will help guide every decision from venue to catering. Creating a timeline is equally important, as it keeps you on track with bookings, invitations, and other essentials.
