You. Are. ENGAGED!!! Congrats to you both! This is such an exciting time! But get ready for a crazy ride planning your wedding!

Planning a wedding is so exciting! But it can feel very overwhelming to know where to start because this is most likely your first time planning a wedding! But guess what, I want to help ya out with 4 steps!

Here are the first few steps for you and your fiancee to take to start your planning your wedding or elopement!

1. Decide if you want a traditional wedding (keep in mind that during this global pandemic that a larger wedding may no be able to take place), a micro wedding or an elopement.

2. Pick a season and location you would like to get married in. (BONUS TIP: If you want to elope in a more well know location, consider the off season or a weekday.)

3. Pick the number one most important vendor to you both and reach out to them about their availability (usually this is the venue or photographer) and book them ASAP! Note that you may have to pick a different day based off of their availability. Be willing to be flexible. (Are you wondering what to book first for your wedding day?

4. Then plan away!! Book other vendors, buy your dress, and plan the best day ever! It you want a list of local vendors around the Moose Jaw and Regina area, email me at hello@krystalmoorephotography.com

BONUS:

Here is something you can do with your NEW fiancee to get your planning juices flowing!

Make a date night with your fiancé to brainstorm your DREAM wedding together. One where there are no rules. No expectations. No budgets. No limits.

What would you do?
Where would you be?
Who would you be with?

Write down everything you come up with. There is your outline!

Yes there may be obstacles and you will have to make adjustments, but know you two are on the same page and you know what’s on your heart and can start planning your dream wedding / elopement!
