Wedding Dress Shopping | What You Should Know

February 13, 2020 No Comments

With an engagement and wedding planning comes the big “say yes to the dress”!

I’ve had so many nerves leading up to the time of wedding dress shopping, and tried my best to take some advice, learn what I can about it and prepare myself.

As someone who’s not super big on shopping as it is, going out and trying on $1000+ dresses really didn’t seem like the best way to spend my time (& money).

Of course I have to find something to wear on my big day, and obviously I want it to be a more special piece than my regular fancy garb, but it all seemed pretty daunting and silly to me.

Because let’s be honest – you wear the thing for one day.

Save The Dates | Ideas & What To Include

Save The Dates

We’re at the just under a year mark until our wedding (!!!) and though we’ve told pretty much all of our guests what our date is, we are so excited to send out those official save the dates.

Giving your guests that heads up well in advance allows them to throw it in their calendar and reserve that day just for you!

Whether you want to have an elaborate gift or card sent out, or something simple online, there are so many fun ways to spread the word.

There’s just something about having the date on paper that makes it all seem so real for the first time. Because we’ve had a long engagement, this year out mark seems pretty exciting (yet a little scary).

I think we’ve finally decided on how we’re going to send out our save the dates, which you can find out about at the end of this post!

I hope these ideas give you some inspiration, as well as help you know what information to provide and what can wait for the invites.

Have We Set A Date!? | Wedding Planning Update

Wedding Planning - Engagement — Photo By Steph Donaher Photography

So if you haven’t heard (aka been far away from my Instagram the last eight months) I got engaged! I chatted all about the proposal over in this post if your curious and nosy and like cute love stories.

The first few months we really hadn’t done a whole lot of wedding planning – we wanted a bunch of time to just soak it all in without diving into the planning process.

That few months of soaking it in turned into a few more months and I decided it was about time we start booking things. We had already decided on a Fall 2020 wedding, so it was time to get our butts in gear.

I knew I wanted tons of time to plan, so I’m super grateful to still have about a year and a half to knock out all the wedding tasks.

The biggest and most daunting of all was definitely the venue (which also means the date!) and I’m so excited to announce that we finally booked!

Calling all friends of bride to be’s!

The holidays often come with many engagements! And if you’re in your mid twenties, you’re bound to have at least one friend who’s engaged right now.

Last year I was the maid of honour for my (future) sister in law, and it was so exciting! I really had to tame myself because it truly is so fun to shower your bride to be with all the things. The bachelorette in particular is so much fun to plan.

So if you’ve recently been asked to be apart of the bride tribe, or they’re just a friend, coworker or family member of yours, these gift ideas are perfect for all the engaged gals in your life who are loving the fiance life and in the midst of (or can’t wait to start!) wedding planning.
