Congrats on your engagement! Exciting times lie ah

Congrats on your engagement! Exciting times lie ahead, but before you get lost in Pinterest and Instagram, let's focus on what truly matters to YOU. Here are 5 tips for planning a heart-centered wedding:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find Your WHY
Grab a pen and paper, and spend some time apart from your partner to jot down what truly matters to you on your wedding day. Is it the deep connection, the adventure, the music, the vows, or celebrating with loved ones? Think about what memories you want to cherish years down the line. Get clear on your own vision, then share and compare with your partner.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Location, Location, Location
Once you know your WHY, it's time to think about WHERE. Is there a spot that holds special meaning for both of you? Maybe a family cabin, your first trip together, or a place where you've made unforgettable memories. Choose a venue that reflects your unique story, whether it's in the mountains, by the ocean, in a forest, or near a breathtaking waterfall.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Guest List
Envision who you want to share your special day with. Do you prefer an intimate celebration with just the two of you or a larger gathering with family and friends? Clarifying the guest list will help you decide between elopement, intimate wedding, or a grand affair.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Timing is Everything
Determine your ideal timeline. Do you want to tie the knot in 6 months, a year, or further down the road? Set a date that aligns with your vision and allows ample time for planning and preparation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Connect with Your Dream Photographer
Now that you've nailed down the who, what, when, and where, it's time to reach out to your dream photographer. Remember, you'll be spending more time with your photographer than most of your guests so make sure you connect and they can be your new BFF
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Share this post with your engaged friends! Happy planning! 🥰
