You’ve celebrated the engagement, called your loved ones, taken a million ring selfies, and maybe even started a Pinterest board or two. Now that the butterflies have settled just a bit, you might be asking yourself… what comes next?
This is the perfect time to start dreaming with intention 💕 Before diving into decisions like guest counts and venues, take a deep breath and start shaping your wedding vision, the heart and feeling behind your day.
Here’s how to begin creating a vision that feels true to you:
Grab a coffee (or a glass of bubbly 🥂) and have a cozy chat with your fiancé about what matters most. Do you imagine an intimate garden ceremony or a grand ballroom celebration? Is photography super important, or do you dream of a live band? Start narrowing down what truly feels meaningful.
Instead of worrying about choosing colors or a theme right away, think about how you want the day to feel. Romantic and whimsical? Classic and timeless? Joyful and energetic? These words will help guide every choice from your dress to your décor.
Pinterest and Instagram are wonderful tools, but it’s easy to spiral 🌪 Set a timer and create a small “Dream Day” folder with just a few inspiration images that make your heart skip. This helps create a focused aesthetic without overwhelm.
This can be digital or printed! Include visuals, textures, colors, and even words or quotes that speak to you. It doesn’t have to be perfect — it’s a reflection of your love story, and it’s allowed to evolve as you plan 💫
You’re in that magical space between the “yes” and the “I do” soak it in. Before diving into contracts and timelines, take some time to dream, breathe, and enjoy just being engaged. The logistics will come… and we’ll walk through those together here on Bride’s Life 🤍
Let this be your gentle reminder: You don’t have to figure it all out right away. This is your season to dream — and you deserve to enjoy every part of it.
Until next time,
