12-18 Months Before the Wedding:

Start by envisioning your dream wedding. Discuss your budget, create a guest list, and choose a wedding date. Book your venue and secure your wedding photographer, ensuring you capture every precious moment, and hopefully with us :). Begin researching and booking other essential vendors like caterers, florists, and wedding planner.

9-12 Months Before the Wedding:

Now is the time to start shopping for wedding attire. Begin looking for the perfect outfit, whether it’s a dress, suit, or tuxedo. Finalize your guest list and send out save-the-date cards. If you’re having a destination wedding, this is also a good time to start planning travel arrangements for your guests.

6-9 Months Before the Wedding:

Book your officiant and start planning your ceremony. This is also a great time to meet with your photographer for an engagement shoot, capturing the love and excitement leading up to your big day. Select your bridal party attire and begin planning the details of your reception, including menu tastings and décor ideas.

3-6 Months Before the Wedding:

Send out your wedding invitations and track RSVPs. Schedule hair and makeup trials, and start planning your wedding day timeline with your photographer to ensure all important moments are captured. Finalize your menu and other vendor details.

1-3 Months Before the Wedding:

Finalize your seating chart and create a wedding day schedule. Confirm all vendor contracts and schedule final meetings with your photographer to discuss any last-minute details or special photo requests. Pick up your wedding rings and make sure your attire fits perfectly.

1-2 Weeks Before the Wedding:

Create a wedding day emergency kit with essentials like safety pins, a sewing kit, a tide pen, and touch-up makeup. Confirm all details with your vendors and distribute the wedding day timeline to your bridal party. Take some time to relax and enjoy pre-wedding celebrations with your loved ones.

By following this ultimate wedding planning timeline, you’ll ensure a smooth and unforgettable wedding day. Happy planning 🙂
