Wedding Checklist - Envision Your Wedding Style (Part 1.2)

PictureEdisto Beach, South Carolina - Small private wedding.
Now ladies, this is something you have to actually discuss with your fiancé since it has to be "our" wedding style.  Some guys will actually leave all of the planning up to you but it is good for the relationship to at least ask.  Hehehe!  

So with the wedding style, what you are trying to do is figure out colors, theme, the vibe, possible location...that sort of thing.  Having an idea of how you want your wedding to actually be will work in your favor when you begin meeting with vendors - caterer, venue, florist, dress designer, etc...

Don't feel that you have to lock yourself into anything at this time.  You may find your inspiration at the time that you secure your venue.  Online tools, such as TheKnot and WeddingWire, offer inspiration boards that can help you build your vision.  Magazines are a great tool as well - rip out the pages of things that strike your fancy and put in your Wedding Binder (you should have one if you followed step one - LOL)  You could always take a quiz - 

I always ask my brides to visit Pinterest.  Yes, it can be overwhelming at times but what I ask brides to do is create a wedding board where they pin everything they like.  Yes - everything!  After enough researching online and pinning left and right, you will find upon review of the board that your actual "style" will show itself.  Maybe you pin a ton of images of couples getting married on the beach or maybe your board is full of bridal bouquets filled with bold colors  What I am saying is that if you pin it, it will come.  Just give it time and don't stress.  

It usually takes 2-3 bottles of wine to get all of the answers you are seeking.  (This does not mean 2-3 bottles in one night...pace yourself!)  Take a few nights to sit down with your fiancé and work together on your dream wedding.  

Happy Planning...I'm off to insure my ring.  (Check out tomorrow's blog)
