You are getting married congratulations! I am sure you know that the next step will be planning your wedding. I know that sounds daunting, but please do not worry. Planning a wedding is easy. I want you to just close your eyes and imagine what your day will resemble. You will step into your dress and transform into the bride. You are smiling because this is the day for witch you have been waiting all your life. You get to spend the rest of your life with the man who holds your heart and you are the key to his: But what most brides’ fear is planning the wedding. Contrary to popular belief, planning the wedding is easy. If you follow these simple steps, you end up with the wedding of your dreams.
First things first, you will need to make a budget plan that works for you. Talk to your Husband- to- be and decided what both of you are comfortable with how much money you will be spending on your big day. Keep in mind that it is only one day, and you have the rest of your lives to live. So you don’t want to start your marriage in debt. Once you have the amount, the best thing is to assign where you can splurge an example will be your wedding dress. Also where can you compromise or simplify. A good example will be instead of a big cake that cost will run your budget up you can simplify and use cupcakes. Once you have that out of the way the fun begins

The Next step will be Research. Now don’t let that word scare you. Doing research can be fun and exciting. It can open up endless possibilities. One means of research can be the internet. Examples for the internet search engine can be Google or yahoo. They are a search engine that not only takes you to different webpages, but they can also just show you some pictures that might catch your interest. It shows you many examples of different types of ideas if you are having a hard time figuring out what you want. Another Research material is bridal Magazines. Magazines are girl’s best friends, not only do they show you pictures of the latest styles of dresses, invitations designs, reception ideas. One thing I know you will enjoy is the articles that will help you. Articles like ‘planning a wedding on a budget’ are a good example. Bridle Books can even help stir you in the right direction. What I would suggest is that any time

a picture or article grabs your attention put it in a scrap book. Getting your ideas organize is a sure way to not overwhelm you when you look at the big picture. Please don’t overlook shops that’s in your area and even bands or DJ’S you might be surprised at what you might find.
Looking into the next step we see it’s about Your Wedding theme or Style. By now your research is done, and you have an idea about what you want. You have different themes like Fairytale, Outdoor, even a Circus. Yes I said a circus, keep in mind it is still your day. You can go simple or you can go Big. It’s up to you. Now with you themes out of the way you can think about what your colors you want in your wedding. Colors will help you tie your ideas together, and your theme to light. Colors affect your bride maid dresses, service hall, reception materials, and even flowers. So you can see why it’s important for you to know. In your idea book put the colors that you think will inspire you or bring the big picture of your day clearer.
When you look at this next step I think that you will agree with me. It is all about the Location. Just like in real estate it is all about Location, location, location. Even the best wedding plans can go wrong with a bad location. By doing your research at the begging you may have an idea where you want to say your vows, and even where you want your reception to be. Great ideas for you to have your wedding can be at the Beach, A Castle, or even a hotel. If you know it’s going to rain than I would suggest not having it at a beach unless you want to get your dress and hair wet. Always have a backup plan that way if anything may go wrong you will not be too stress out on you
The final step is buying your big ticket items. Getting your dress can make it feel that it is really going to happen. Bring your idea book with you when you are looking at dress. The wedding agent can even see what you are looking for and help you with some suggestions on what type of dresses will look great on you. I would suggest that you bring your shoes and hair piece with you so you get the best idea how the dress will look. I know that picking dresses may seem daunting but bring a person that you trust and respect their opinion. Don’t forget your bride maid’s dresses and your groom’s tuxedos. Another big ticket item is flowers. Talk to your florist about what you want and arrange them to do the rest of the work. This can be a load taken off your mind knowing that this is taken care of and will be delivered to your wedding on the day or the day before. Buying materials either in person or online should be done early on. You don’t want to be waiting for them when your day is drawing near. Being organized will relieve your stress. I am going to tell you a secret. To make planning your wedding even easier is to hire a wedding planner. It will take all the stress off of you, but even though you have a wedding planner you will still need to know what you want and what your budget is. If you want to do-it-yourself wedding a tip I would suggest is that to use your maids, fiancé, family, friends, and even grooms’ man. It is not wrong to use them to help you. But I would ask them first if they are willing to help out. But if they do agree it will relieve some of the work for you. Be sure to thank them, and you may even have to send them a gift.
Now when you put the steps together you will have planned your wedding. I think that you deserve Congratulations. You have done it. You have planned your big day with ease. By
Breaking your wedding planning step by step it shows that planning a wedding is easy. Now all you have to do is breath, relax, and put on your wedding dress and transform into the bride.
