Am I planning too much?

I think in some instances it might be too soon. Your taste might change from now to then and could end up costing you more if you change your mind on things. It's great that you have more time to save, but I'd just be cautious on what you're working on now.

For me it's way too soon. I can't imagine planning anything 6 years in advance. I would change my mind one hundred times from now until then.

I think planning around 2 years out is okay, but with 6 years, you probably don't want to have a lot of things done since your taste in things could definitely change in that time! My FH & I started talking about our wedding last October but didn't get engaged until April. Just in that time, I changed the colors I wanted 2 or 3 times! A lot of vendors won't book anything 6 years out either. I don't think you need that much time to plan. I've gotten 95% of our wedding planning done in 3 1/2 months. You could probably book your venue around 3 years out, though.

A lot can happen in 6 years. You may move or find new friends who you may want in your wedding etc. I also agree with the response at the top, your taste may change. Or wedding styles in general will change. The color schemes that are hot and trendy now, will look outdated in 6 years, same with wedding dresses.

I know it's exciting. If I were you I would create a inspiration board, real or digitally and then i would just add images and ideas of things I'd like. Every 6 months I would go through and toss what I no longer like. That way. when you reach 18 mos out, you will have a whole board already ready to go.

It could be too soon for you. Though I know for me there's things for my wedding I did that didn't change from what I've always envisioned

Way too soon. Wait until 18 months out to make plans. So many things can happen in over five years it's really not worth gambling with all the possible changes.

It's too soon. Things will change, vendors you are booking will go out of business, tastes will change, friends will change. Wedding dresses will absolutely change.

That would be way too soon for any type of solid planning. However, you could start saving now and truly have an amazing day in 6 years!! Literally everything will change in 6 years. Trends will change, bridal fashions will evolve and honestly your circle of friends will probably change as well. I wouldn't do any physical planning until 1.5 to 1 year out.

I think its great to plan ahead! Just be careful with picking colors or buying anything specific because you could change your mind or your vision in a couple years.

I mean. It's never too early to start a Pinterest for it and to start saving money. But it's way too soon for anything beyond that.

Im a musician and I wouldn’t book anyone more than 18ish months out because too many things change. I once booked a girl two years out and it was a disaster. I would just enjoy being engaged and wait a little longer.

I might be crazy but I've had my colors picked out since high school when me and my betrothed started dating... Sapphire and silver are colors I believe never go out of style

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for this, also this was the plan. Since you seem to have a good head on your shoulders I would love to run something by you. What do you think about lace? Timeless or a fad? I'm of the opinion that it's timeless but it's always nice to get someone else's opinion.

View Quoted Comment Good for you!!! You and I are a lot alike!!!

I think lace is timeless, but not for everyone. That fabric looks great on young women. At 41 I just felt lace made me look older than it needed to. LOL. Have fun collecting ideas!

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

I would wait until two years out to start planning anything. Your life will be so different in six years! But if you find that you can't turn off the "planning" part of your brain and really want to start preparing for the ceremony, consider moving it up - maybe you could celebrate your fifth or sixth anniversary instead of your tenth, for example.

Yeah 6 years is a long time!!!! Maybe in 2021 you can start picking up the pace!!

If you are doing more than making a Pinterest board then you are too ahead of the game. Enjoy your life and don’t let planning take over for another 4.5 years

I think getting ideas early is great! But actually booking and purchasing things should wait until your at least within the 2 year mark. Who knows, your dream venue could be built next year? Things can change over a 6 year span!
