Planning a wedding involves a multitude of details, and I know for a fact that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. To help you stay organized and reduce stress, we’ve created the ultimate wedding checklist that covers everything from the moment you say ‘yes’ to the day you say ‘I do.’
Let’s dive in!

• Consider an engagement party if desired.
• Set a preliminary budget for the wedding.

I personally highly recommend hiring a wedding coordinator so this adventure can be enjoyed by both of you. Stay organized, enlist the help of loved ones, and savor every step of the process as you create the wedding of your dreams.
