You need to make sure you know where to start. Follow the steps provided below so the wedding planning can be easier.

Budget

Before diving into anything, you need to set a budget. You need to plan what the maximum amount you are willing to spend on the décor, details, and the vendors. The earlier you set a budget, the better it will be throughout the entire planning process.

Slow Down

After being engaged, the couple will get many urges to do everything as soon as possible. Keep in mind, there is no rush so calm down. Spend time thinking about the date, money, details, vendors, so you can have the best wedding ever.

Talk to People & Read Mags

Talk to married people, as they will be able to help you. Talk to former brides for tips on how to stay calm during your wedding. Get your hands on as many bridal magazines as you can! Get inspiration, check the latest trends, keep ideas with you, and make a vision board.

Get Your Priorities Straight

Since there will be a lot on your shoulders, it is smart to make a to-do list. Write down everything that is important so it does not slip your mind. Keep writing any ideas that pop into your mind. When you have everything written down, number it from most important to least. This way you will know what to pay attention to the most.

Start Talking

Start talking to vendors so you can negotiate with them. Ask for second opinions, ask family members & friends to help you out, talk to your partner and start canceling things off your list so you know you are making progress.

Do Not Wait Till the Last Moment

Make sure you are not leaving the big decisions to the last moment. The quicker you face things, the quicker the planning will be done.

Get Personal

If there is something you and your husband have dreamt of doing at your wedding, make sure you include that. Whether it is with your pet or if there are any family traditions, do it!

Trustworthy Helper

Choose one person who would help you with tasks, holding valuables and dealing with the vendors. This will make life so much easier for you.

Team Work

Your partner will be the best person to go to for any help. Do not be afraid to ask for their opinion and you can involve other people as well. This way you will stay organized as well!

Try Staying Calm

Although, the wedding planning can be extremely overwhelming, you need to make sure you are staying calm throughout the whole process. This will make everything easier and make you feel less burdened.
