Okay, you’re newly engaged, now what? How do you even know where to start? Weddings are an immensely special celebration and definitely have their own personality. Planning a wedding is a job in itself, along with the pressure of outside opinions, financial conversations, and so much more. Today we want to help you kickstart the conversation so that you can get past the initial fear of starting the planning process.

Let’s start with this: what is your wedding’s personality? 

Here are some questions that you can sit down as a newly engaged couple and answer to pull things together…

Who will decide on the colors, decor, flowers, and style? 

Who will choose the food and beverage selection? 

Will we have a signature cocktail? 

Are we interested in having a wedding website? 

Do we want to have a band or a DJ? Neither? 

What are 3 things that can be decided on now to save stress later? 

Are we hiring a wedding planner? 

What is our safe word for when one of us needs a wedding planning conversation break? (make it funny!) 

When we look back years from now, what is the number one thing we want to make sure we are able to say or remember about our wedding?

There are so many things to consider when you’re newly engaged and planning your wedding, but we hope that this list helps to get the conversation started! The hope is that you can narrow down the stress and enjoy this exciting time! Additionally, if you are looking for the perfect wedding venue in the Greenville or Washington, North Carolina area, we hope that you will reach out and consider Mizpah Manor and Chapel. Happy planning!
