You&#8217;re about to be a bride soon. At the moment, whether you&#8217;re getting married in 2014 or even 2015, while it may seem like a million miles away, it&#8217;s not too far off. Think about it, how fast did 2013 fly by? So to get you started, you&#8217;re going to need a general road map to get yourself to the big day. After this, you&#8217;ll be able to plan month-by-month.<\/p>\n<h2>Here is a starting off point to your wedding checklist<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Set up a wedding folder in your email to designate important documents, emails from venues and suppliers or inspiration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Create an inspiration notebook or Pinterest board. Make notes as to what you like about the photos.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Talk budgets with your SF and family if necessary<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Choose wedding colours<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Pick a date (or suitable back-ups)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Interview wedding coordinators<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Start a fitness plan<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Research, MUAs, hairdressers, florists and any other venders yo will need<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Book your ceremony. Some religions require a marriage counseling session first, so book as soon as you know your date\/reception.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Begin a guest list<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Choose your bridal party<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips for Staying Organised<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Prioritize: Are you looking for a wedding photographer when you don&#8217;t have a date\/venue settled on yet? Some actions can only be taken on if there is another part of the puzzle for them to fit into. Sort out the major and basics first before getting deeper into plans.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Set yourself goals and incentives: Organising isn&#8217;t always easy. And personally, I need an incentive to get a job done. Whether it&#8217;s the satisfaction of ticking something off a list you make or treating yourself for getting everything done on time, make sure you set clear goals for what you want to achieve.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Track your progress: Google calendars, Wunderlist or even hand made notes are important, just make sure they&#8217;re all in one area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Don&#8217;t carry all of the burden: There is no possible way you can plan every aspect of the wedding (and if you can\u2026 fair play!), the truth is you may need to call on the help of your bridal party of a coordinator.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><em>Image via Ruffled<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yeah!
