How To Plan Your Wedding
Congrats!
Your partner has popped the question and the ring is on your finger. But now it's time to start planning your wedding, and you are looking for wedding planning tips. And we get it, it can feel really overwhelming - there are colors to consider, venues to view, and guests to gather. So rather than looking at your planning to-do list as a whole cake, we recommend breaking it up into slices and tackling a few tasks per month. Because when you break it down into bite-sized pieces, everything becomes easier to digest.

Are you looking for tips on how to plan your wedding? At Alexandra's Boutique, we work to provide you with an unforgettable shopping experience, but our commitment to your special day doesn't stop at dress selection. To make the planning process a little easier, we've compiled an extensive checklist that gives you the play-by-play of what you need to plan and when. From 12 months out to the day before your wedding, you'll find a list of everything you need to take into consideration, down to the nitty-gritty details. Each list is curated to help you ensure everything's in place so that you can enjoy your special day without a hitch! And don't worry--we'll be here when you're ready to pick out the perfect dress.
Generally, you'll want to start planning your wedding a few weeks after your engagement. The goal is to send wedding invitations about two months before your wedding, so your guests have time to prepare and RSVP. If you give yourself a year or longer to plan your wedding, you can move at a slower, more relaxed pace, and you'll enjoy more options when it comes to choosing vendors. According to The Knot 2019 Real Weddings Study, most couples are engaged for 15 months, which leaves time to enjoy the engagement for a few months before jumping into wedding planning.
There are no set rules when it comes to planning your special day, but use the following timeline to guide your wedding planning making adjustments as you need. If you need more tips along the way on how to plan your wedding, check out our blog or contact us at Alexandra's Boutique.
