    First decision was the venue. Followed by food, photographer, flowers and decor and last entertainment

    Deciding my bridesmaids/maid of honor was the first wedding decision I made. It was something I wanted to cement in so I could have help with the rest of the planning.

    The first thing was the date, simply because I already had two venues in mind and depending on the day would simply depend on the venue. We both wanted a country style wedding in a sense, and I use to work at a beautiful vineyard with amazing views. Thankfully my old boss said yes to letting us use the vineyard and orchard as a wedding venue. And it saved on cost too.

    Buying wooden flowers on a really good Black Friday sale even though we weren't officially engaged at that point!

    Venue and date. It was back and forth for a while and I think we decided both at the same time.

    The first financial decision that we paid for was the photographer. We knew that regardless of location or anything else that we wanted to invest in a great photographer that would capture this special moment.
