You just got engaged—now what?

Here’s a realistic, stress-free starting point.

Step 1: Celebrate

Before planning anything, pause. Enjoy the moment. This season matters.

Step 2: Talk Big Picture

• Guest count range

• Budget comfort zone

• Desired vibe (formal, relaxed, intimate, luxury)

Step 3: Secure Your Key Vendors

Venues, planners, and photographers book early—especially for peak seasons.

Step 4: Build a Timeline That Fits Your Life

Not every couple needs a 12-month sprint. A planner helps pace the process.

At Yours Truly, we guide couples through intentional planning—so decisions feel confident, not chaotic.

💡 The best weddings don’t start with Pinterest—they start with clarity.
