We're getting Married! OMG! What's Comes Next?

There are so many steps in the process of planning a wedding that is fun and smooth for you and your guests. Although, planning can be overwhelming at times; it can be fun too. Brides may experience everyone giving their advice, tips, desires and wishes from others, but ultimately, it is your day. 

You ask what comes next after the proposal? 

You got it! Set the date.

Once you have set the date; it is time to hire your wedding planner. No excuses, make sure you make this a part of the budget. After, you hire your planner, you'r Wedding To Do List can fall right in line with what comes next. There's no perfect time to hire your planner other than sooner than later. Most couples think you have to wait until 6-9 months; which is truly a misconception. There further in advance you hire; the more time you will have to pay for the consulting fees. Also, it will give your planner additional planning time and to ensure you are able to reserve top notch vendors. generally, couples can hire a wedding planner/ coordinator from 2 years or up to 2 months prior to the event. 

Here are some tips as to why organized planning helps the engagement time less stressful for you and the groom: 

1. Your Wedding Planner/ Coordinator - They book up fast. You may have to look at an alternate date because the date you selected is not available. Give yourself some flexibility by reserving your date as soon as you have decided as a couple. 

2. Booking the Venue/ Church - Venues and Ceremony locations book fast too. When booking your church banquet hall, or venue, the date you have chosen an already reserved date. Having an alternate date will help you and your planner in booking the venue you want. This notion does apply to other vendors, as well.

After you have booked your venue for the ceremony and reception; your wedding planner/ coordinator can ensure your to do list falls right in line with your wedding day.

This young couple put the ' j' in joy. The is ceremony overlooked a beautiful lake and golf course at Festival Park. The guests showered this couple with love and their support. The warmth, love, and happiness to a new beginning together poured through their I Do. Stacy and Vinny entered into forever and sealed it with a kiss. This was such a wonderful ceremony that made you reflect on why uniting couples is so important to me.

Hair Trivia for Every Bride UP? or DOWN?

Well here it is! You have found the perfect gown, shoes and complimentary jewelry. Now, what to do with your hair?

For some brides wedding day hair is an afterthought, for others it's the only thought. When you are thinking about that perfect style keep a few things in mind, with a few tips from our planners at It's a Bridal Thing Too!

Tip #1 

Your Style of the Dress - You want to make sure your hair doesn't cover any of the accents on your dress or take away from the style of the dress itself.

Tip #2 

The Shape of Your Face - Pick a style that frames your face and brings out your best facial features.

Tip #3 

Not the Time to be Daring - This is not the time to try out that new hair color you have always wanted or to put in the Rapunzel length extensions. If you are itching to try something new, have a hairstyle run through a few weeks before.

Tip #4 

Make Sure Your Hairstyle is Something You Are Comfortable With - Don't let your bridesmaids talk you into a loose chignon when you love having your hair down!

Most Importantly!

Tip #5 

Remember, This is Your Day - Be happy with every aspect of your wardrobe which includes the hair.
