You're Engaged - Now What?
First off, congratulations! Being engaged is one of the most exciting milestones in your life. While the rush of joy and love might feel a bit overwhelming, you’re also probably wondering, “What do I do next?” Don’t worry—this guide will help you start strong with ideas to set the tone for your big day.
At Bon Bon Belle, we know how exciting this time is for couples, and we love being a part of this journey with our brides-to-be. So, let’s dive into the beginning stages of wedding planning and how to make the most of it!
Celebrate the Moment
Before you dive into planning, take time to soak it all in. Whether it’s popping champagne with your fiancé, hosting an engagement party with loved ones, or simply spending a quiet evening dreaming about your future, these moments of celebration are worth savoring.
This is also a great time to capture the magic of your engagement with a photo shoot. Engagement pictures aren’t just a keepsake—they can also double as save-the-date cards, wedding website content, or décor for the big day itself.
Dream Up Your Wedding Day
Now that you’re engaged, it’s time to dream big. Think about what your ideal wedding would look like. Are you picturing an elegant ballroom affair? A rustic barn celebration? An intimate beach elopement? Take note of the details that feel most meaningful to you.
Sit down with your partner and talk through your must-haves. Discuss themes, colors, vibes, and personal touches that reflect your story. Pinterest boards, Instagram, and TikTok can be great tools for inspiration, but remember—your day should reflect you.
Craft a Budget That Works for You
Let’s be real—wedding planning and finances go hand in hand. Start by figuring out a budget that feels right for you and your partner. Prioritize what matters most to you, whether it’s a jaw-dropping venue, a dream dress, or top-tier catering.
Tip: Having a general budget in place will make every other decision feel more manageable. It also helps narrow down your choices without feeling overwhelmed.
