Planning your wedding isn’t about doing everything—it’s about doing the right things in the right order. With a clear plan, the process feels empowering instead of stressful, whether you’re envisioning an intimate, meaningful celebration or a bold, elevated experience.
Start by defining what truly matters to you as a couple—then set a realistic wedding budget (see above) that supports those priorities. From there, choose your wedding date, and create a wedding timeline and guest list. Once those foundational pieces are in place, the fun begins. You can begin to fill in details such as the venue, colors, theme, attire, food and decorations, etc.
Planning this way helps you avoid costly missteps, saves time, and ensures your wedding feels cohesive, intentional, and uniquely yours from start to finish. Click the images below to get started and happy planning!
