Grooms 2nd wedding, brides 1st

Hi Cristina! Welcome to the WeddingWire community!

I would definitely start by organizing everything with our Checklist to visually track everything. I would start thinking of things you really like; for instance, outline your favorite colors, and find a way to showcase them in the wedding. Our Color Generator can help with this. You should also browse through our Real Weddings to gain inspiration and see what others have done. Altogether, the choice is up to you; there are no rules, feel free to do this wedding however you please. You can even consider DIY items to keep it personalized.

Good luck!

If he wants you to have the wedding you want, I'd plan the wedding you've always wanted! I'd start with setting a budget and going from there. I think it's just deciding the vibe you want, classy and formal or more backyard and relaxed? Traditional venue or backyard wedding? Plated dinner or buffet? Traditional wedding food or BBQ? All the vendors or just necessary ones (photography, catering, baker, etc.)?

Great resources, Neffe!

How wonderful Christina! I was in the same boat. You'll get to make more of the creative decisions which will be awesome.

*If* if doesn't feel like he's into it as much as you, ask for his involvement. My DH said a wedding is for the bride (I've heard that a lot about other grooms here) and I could plan whatever I wanted. But planning by myself felt lonely, or like he's done this before so no big deal. I shared this with him, we made time to brainstorm styles/themes that represented both of us over a bottle of wine, and then he was 100% committed...so much so we had to divide up the "boss" title for our DW and local reception because sometimes we argued over creative direction! lol.

This was my second wedding and his first, so I wanted to go with whatever he wanted since I'd already had a wedding tailored mostly to my tastes. It was so much fun planning around his ideas!

We are right there as well. He told me the exact same thing. I want you to have the wedding you always wanted. I'm initiating most things, but he is slowly getting involved. I'll mention something to him and then we go through it a day or two later. I still can't get him board with the wedding hashtag. He thinks they are silly, but I think that is more of an age things. But he did like the website.
