Your plans should be the best-case scenario. You’ve heard the old saying what the mind can conceive and believe; it can achieve? Bet you didn’t know the author of that was talking about wedding planning. Well, maybe he wasn’t, but I can assure you, he could’ve been.
Get a pen and paper ready. I want you to sit back, relax and envision what the perfect U-wedding would look like. Go through every detail from the colors that your attendants are wearing to the time of day it is. Imagine what your dress will look like and where the reception will be. Imagine for about fifteen minutes, and then come back to me.
Now, you’re ready to begin the exciting process of wedding planning. You’ll need a three ring binder, loose-leaf writing paper and notebook dividers with tabs. You’ll proceed to organize all of the information you’ll gather in the coming weeks and months ahead in this notebook.
Here’s the headings you’ll need for every section in your notebook.
1 Calendar
2 Budget
3 Clothing
4 Ceremony
5 Flowers
6 Decorations
7 Reception
8 Food
9 Videography/Photography
10 Guest/gift list
I’ll give you my Four Month Calendar Guide a little later in Chapter 7. I’ll show you what to do when. If you follow my calendar guide, you’ll end up right on schedule. Let’s talk for a moment about the budget.
