engaged now what’s next?!

ahhh!! The easiest yes , ever!!

now that we have the ring , where do we start with planning?!

1. get a planner!! getting everything down , either digitally or on paper! I got my digital one off etsy!

2. set the vibe!!! setting the vibes give you the feel for what you want your venue to look like which was one of my biggest first steps!

3. make a guest list. you will need this when you start viewing & booking your venues / venders!

4. a check list was a must for me! we set our date for 1.5 year away and it still feels like we can get scrambled at times!

5. ENJOY your engagement! don’t stress your self to much , it’s a day for you and your partner!!

In today’s world , we will most definitely be planning a wedding on a budget! i can not wait to share all our ins and outs with you guys!!!

This phase in your relationship can bring up so many different emotions/experiences. Not a lot of people talk about this. It’s mainly conversations about when the wedding is, how big it will be, what you plan to wear, etc. But there is so much more to it than just planning a celebration. #lemon
