Planning your wedding timeline depends on multiple factors, but typically, couples spend about one year organizing their big day. This duration allows for ample time to book venues, find vendors, and prepare for all the key elements without feeling rushed. Wed&Done can simplify this process significantly, helping you stay on track from start to finish!
The Average Wedding Planning Timeline
For most couples, a full year is considered an ideal timeline. This timeframe ensures you can book your preferred venue, vendors, and take care of everything with minimal stress. Wed&Done makes this a breeze! We’ve already got a curated team of professional vendors ready for you to use and our venues tell us ahead of time what their availability is. So no more hoping and praying you get what you want! Our magical path takes care of all this for you!
When Should You Start Wedding Planning?
Before diving into wedding planning, take some time to enjoy your engagement! Experts recommend waiting at least 30 days before beginning the wedding planning process. During this period, discuss your priorities with your partner and set a realistic budget, as it forms the backbone of your planning decisions. This is where Wed&Done comes in handy, by helping you manage your budget in one place.
First Steps to Take
The first crucial steps include booking your venue, securing vendors, and shopping for your wedding dress. Venues, in particular, can fill up fast, so it’s essential to begin your search early. With Wed&Done, we handle all of that for you! So go say yes to the dress and leave the venue/vendor booking to us!
Book Your Venue
Booking a venue is a significant part of your wedding budget and is often one of the first things to do. If you plan to have a specific date or season, make sure to reserve it early. That’s why the venue ranker is the first stop on your magical path. You get to check out our amazing list of quality venues BEFORE even becoming a Wed&Doner! How lovely is that?
Finding Your Dream Dress
Shopping for a wedding dress is another task that requires an early start. Most designers require 6-8 months for custom-made dresses. With Wed&Done, since we handle almost all of the other elements for you (and tell you how much they’ll cost) you can shop for your gown and suits knowing exactly where they fit into your budget.
