Just engaged!

Erin, on September 3, 2019 at 4:01 PM Posted in Planning 0 17
Hi guys! After 6 years of dating, I just got engaged on Sunday, September 1st. My fiancé and I are looking at getting married in September 2021. I dont know much about planning a wedding and have already been asked a ton of questions from friends and family. This app has been great so far but I’m just looking for any advice you have for me/where to start? I know we have a whole 2 years but I just want to make sure I’m on track! Thanks!!

    Another extra note, I like rustic weddings and we may be having it in a barn that my great grandfather built 😊

    Congratulations! It’s such an exciting time! We also have about a two year engagement and now are just one year away! I would say to definitely start a Pinterest/inspiration board first! Narrow everything down and then focus on the venue! I’ve been told SO many times that September is one of the busiest wedding months. Once you find the venue and the dress everything else seems to just make sense.

    I would start by researching how much the average vendor costs (caterer, venue, photographer, dj etc) so you can make a realistic budget!

    Thank you!! Pinterest is quickly becoming my best friend lol. I’m hoping to have the wedding at a barn my great grandfather built, I just have to go check it out because it’s been a few years since I’ve seen it.

    Congratulations on your engagement!!!! I’d definitely recommend starting out by figuring out your budget, every other decision you make will (or should anyway Smiley winking ) be Influenced by that decision. I’d also nail down exactly what you want to do for your venue, verify that you want to use the barn, do you want your ceremony and reception at the same location? Etc...

    Congratulations! Your ring is beautiful and you two look great together Smiley smile First things first, establish your budget and a rough draft of the guest list. That'll start to get you where you need to be in terms of booking your vendors!

    Also LOVE your nails lol

    Welcome to WW and congrats on your engagement! The ring is so beautiful!

    I'd start by setting a budget, drafting how many guests your budget can host, and research venues!

    Congratulations! I’m a little under 2 years with a May 2021 date (we got engaged May of this year). WW has been super helpful so far; we booked our venue last month; Pinterest has been my right hand as well for ideas. I’d start by discussing a budget, followed by visiting venues; some places start booking up quickly.
