I recently got engaged and have started the planning process. I am finding this to be fun and stressful all at once. However, when I do get excited I imminently call my fiance and my mother to let them know about my latest discovery..... I think they have gotten sick of me. So I am going to blog about it instead and share my discoveries with you! That is why I created The Rustic Bride. A blog dedicated to everything beautiful, rustic, DIY, and bridal.
So the very first thing I did when I got engaged was buy a planning binder. This was the best idea EVER! It is organized by wedding details and the first section of the binder is checklists. I have major OCD so I absolutely love this section.
My To-Do List for 12-18 Months before the BIG Day!
- Buy a wedding binder! Yep I can check that off my list
- Set a budget that is right for you... Setting the budget wasnt hard for us... sticking to it is the challenge!
- Start compiling a Guest List.... sigh... need I say more?
- Choose the location of your wedding
- Start researching and visiting venus... get on this ASAP
- Get your passport in order
- Pick a date!
- Choose your wedding party
- Start looking at wedding dresses and determine your style
- Start looking at wedding rings
- Start planning your engagement party
- Create a Pinterest board dedicated to your wedding ideas and inspiration (BEST idea EVER!!)
So here is a peek of my pins!
I am set on having my wedding outside as I want the rustic look... I just hope the weather cooperates.
As favors I want to give pickles. My fiance's family has a pickle recipe that I will use and make our favors personalized. Yum!
So I am happy with my progress so far. Hopefully it will continue being this easy :)
