In this episode, Sheridan and Juliette provide a concise guide to wedding planning, counting you down from your engagement to 6 months before the wedding! 

Remember that every wedding planning timeline will look a little different, so take this all with a grain of salt! 

We may sound like a broken record, but the very first thing you need to do is set your budget! Think big picture about what you want your wedding to look like, and be realistic about how much money you really want to spend. This will mean hashing out your non-negotiables and thinking about what you’d be happy to pass up if it doesn’t align with your budget. 

Throughout this first half of your wedding planning process, you’ll also want to lock in all of your big wedding vendors, think venue, celebrant, photographer, videographer, band/DJ, florist, and hair and makeup artists! 

Now is also the time to get wedding dress shopping!! Wedding dresses can have a manufacturing timeline of up to 8-10 months, so make sure you allow more than enough time to account for any alterations as well. 

Send out your save the dates, and start the process of planning and booking your honeymoon! The earlier you get the big things out of the way, the easier and breezier it will be in the months just before your wedding day.
