Step by Step Guide
Decide your wedding day color palette and theme.
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
Are you trying to create beautiful beach vibes? Will your venue be surrounded by a mountain landscape? Are you leaning towards a bohemian style of flowers? Do you want to create the timeless wedding day? Are you looking for rustic textures to add some contrast? Are you getting married during the holiday season?
These questions will help you decide what direction your wedding day planning should go. It will also make the rest of the decisions easier to make!
Decide what you want your bridal party to look like.
More questions to ask yourself...
Do you want all of your bridesmaids in the same dress? Same color? Do you want them to choose their own dresses and you pick the shade? Do you want them in the same dress, but different shades of one color?
Choosing what your vision is will help you to stick to your gut and say no when you feel very strongly about something. This is your day!
Start shopping for dresses.
Finding some inspiration pictures and dresses will make this process much smoother. It also is very helpful to your bridesmaids if they are going to be choosing their own dresses because they have an exact vision of what they are looking for.
Tips: have your bridesmaids send you their dress picks before they purchase them so that you can approve them. That way, if you want a couple of the girls in a patterned dress, you won't have one sticking out in your pictures. You can make it cohesive and beautiful!
This is your special day!
