Planning

You can get an idea of colors/feel of your wedding, but I’d wait to hire any vendors until you secure your date and venue.

Yes, ive only gone to see the reception place but did not pay yet.

I would start getting a Pinterest board together of what you like. Understanding your style will help you make decisions on venue, catering, dress, etc when the time comes. 😊

Start with: budget, estimated guest list, venues (even if you just start checking them out now offline or online). Then you’ll be ready to book by summer.

You can start visually thinking of scheme colors theme and venues. I feel you still can go see venues.

Choose your BM dresses, groomsman outfits, consider what kind of bouquet you want, decor, etc.
