Call Your Loved Ones
This is one of the most magical moments of your life. Celebrate it and share the good news with your family and close friends.
Pop Some Champagne
You just got ENGAGED! Make your way to a restaurant or a bar. Perhaps your new fiancé has come equipped with a bottle of delicious bubbly? Toast each other and celebrate your moment.
Nails, Nails, Nails
Now is not the time to make a trip to the nail salon! Your hands must stay photo ready.
Instagram Time
It is time to tell the world and show off that gorgeous ring!
Insure The Carats
You now have this beautiful and dazzling ring. It is very important that you insure and protect it should the ring become lost, stolen, or damaged. Make sure you have your appraisal papers in hand and contact your insurance agent.
Take It All In
Take in the joy of this moment! Spend some quality time with your fiancée and family. Once you get into the details of wedding planning, it can seem overwhelming so this time together is crucial.
Discuss Wedding Date Options
Deciding on your date sooner than later can greatly increase the chances of your date being available at your preferred venue. Once your date and venue are set, the fun part of planning and designing your wedding begins! Together with your planner, you will discuss everything from flowers to food, dresses, music and beyond. Maybe you’re considering a destination wedding. Your planner is here to make your dream day a reality!
Hire A Wedding Planner
A full service wedding planner is your greatest asset. From start to finish, your wedding planner will be instrumental in crafting your vision and producing the wedding you’ve been dreaming of. Your wedding planner will help with finding the perfect venue, styling your dream wedding, hiring vendors that fit your style and budget to coordinating events leading up to the wedding. Your wedding planner will help set things in motion while you enjoy being engaged.
Discuss Budget
Now that you’ve chosen your date and hired your planner, you and your fiancé need to determine a budget. Budgets are necessary because it allows you to determine how much you have/want to spend and whether your families will contribute.
Engagement Photos
It's time to celebrate the momentous occasion. Let your planner coordinate your shoot with the chosen photographer. Your planner will collaborate with your photographer to find a setting that defines you as a couple or a location that brings about memories from dating. Decide on colors, attire, and the timing of your pictures and poses.
