If you’re just now getting engaged, it’s likely that you’ve never planned a wedding before. To save your energy and time, it’s important to take certain steps first. Here’s what you should be focusing on when you first start planning your wedding.
- Plan your budget. Figure out who’s paying for what, and how much money will be allocated to each area.
- Start building your guest list and approximate your cost, based on your initial list.
- Try to settle on 2 or 3 dates, and start researching venues. The earlier you book your venues, the better.

Using a Hashtag for Your Wedding Day
Using a Hashtag for Your Wedding Day; Social media and weddings have come together, and it’s beautiful. Oftentimes, you’ll be asked to use a hashtag at a wedding you’re attending, when posting pictures or statuses about the event. If you’re unsure how this all works, we’re here to help navigate the social media aspect of your wedding day.
First off, you’ll want to choose your hashtag. Most couples choose a funny mixture of their two first names, their to-be last name, a pun with their last name or another unique way to remember their day.
Second, you’ll want to inform your guests of the hashtag they should use. Post and tag your guests on a social media post to inform them, put up a sign at the celebration, and make sure everyone knows what to use and how to use it.
The hashtag will serve as a photo album for your photos on social media. If all of your guests put your hashtag in their posts and photos, all of the statuses, memories, posts and shares will all be kept under this one hashtag. The convenience of this is exactly why couples are using hashtags to help share, celebrate and remember their wedding day. Once your special day is over, you hashtag is just one click away, and there is all of your memories.
Now that you know all there is to know about choosing a hashtag for your wedding day, now is the time to get started!

Wedding Trends
Whether your wedding is this Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, it’s no longer 2014, so don’t get stuck with last year’s trends. They are all over Pinterest, Facebook and every other social media platform.
To make sure you’re kept in the know, here are some trends we are seeing for 2015:
Drama
In 2015, bigger is better. Bigger flowers, larger displays and more decoration. LED-lit signs, ceiling decorations, and more. No empty spaces will be left behind.
Creative Drinks
Do-it-yourself and create-your-own drinks continue to be hot. Traditional drinks will always have their place, but in 2015, wedding guests will enjoy innovative cocktails and drink stands that stray away from traditional wedding classics.
Themes
Themed parties are a blast, so why keep the themes out of one of the biggest parties of your life? Create a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you and your guests with costume contests and themed decorations.
What’s your favorite trend for 2015 so far?

The Best Season for Your Wedding
What is the best season for your wedding? The most important day of your life should be set in the perfect place and at the perfect time -- no compromises. The only hard part is, what is the best time for you? Here are some pros and cons of having a wedding during different seasons of the year.
Fall - Along with Summer, Fall is a very popular time to get married. The weather is calm and mild, in most areas, and the bold reds, yellows and oranges are plentiful. Fall is also a great time for an outdoor wedding, since weather after September is mostly predictable.
Spring - Spring, along with Winter, is a less popular time to get married, so you can enjoy off-season pricing on your facility, hotels, and more up until May. The Spring months are for “new beginnings,” since flowers and plants begin to blossom, and this can be a wonderful theme. The weather can be very mild, but but don’t forget the rain in your plans!
Winter - Just like Spring, setting a wedding date in Winter can help keep your pockets full, since it is the off-season, as well. As for scenery, snow can be an amazing asset to the wedding photos that you’ll look at forever. You will have an entirely unique display of seasonal flowers, drinks, food and more that will always be remembered.
Summer - The Summer months are the most popular time to get married. It is a great time to have an outdoor wedding with endless flowers and beautiful, green landscapes. You will pay a greater price since you’re in the peak of wedding season, but for some, it’s a no-brainer to have a wedding during the the most popular season, Summer.
With all of the stress that wedding planning puts on you and your special someone, choosing the perfect time shouldn’t be. We hope that we have helped with your decision.
