He popped the question. You said yes. Now the fun begins! That’s right—we said fun. Planning your big day should be fun, not stressful. One of the best ways to begin is by identifying the elements you would like to see in your wedding and place them into an inspiration board of sorts. Cut out clips from magazines. Save mementos from different events you have attended together. Take photos on your phone and keep a notebook on hand at all times. You never know where you’ll be inspired—maybe even right here in these pages. Remember to embrace the full experience as it comes, listen to each other’s opinions, and don’t get caught up with what can go wrong. Hopefully, after reading this guide, you’ll be one step closer to the wedding of your dreams.
