Choose your Wedding Party
This is the time to ask your favorite people to be by your side on the big day! Find cute and inventive ways to share the news. Whether it’s a little gift or a sweet card, make it special.
Shop for Dresses!
Time to find that perfect wedding dress. Because your dress will most likely need alterations, it’s important to start looking for that one-of-a-kind dress now. Book appointments at your favorite bridal shops. Invite only your closest friends and family members to your appointment, you don’t want to be too overwhelmed with people and opinions. Once you find your dress, make sure to schedule your alterations and fittings for the rest of the year. When you go back for a fitting, feel free to check out bridesmaids’ dresses then!
Plan your Engagement Session
If you are planning to use your engagement session images for your Save-the-Dates, now is the time to book your session. You want to make sure you have plenty of time to send out cards afterwards. Start figuring out outfit ideas and locations you love. Right before the shoot make sure your nails are done, your ring is clean, and you are ready to have an awesome time! If you are doing photos outdoors, always try to plan your session during “The Golden Hour,” the time right before sunrise or sunset. This lighting makes everything look so romantic and magical!
