From ‘Yes’ to ‘I Do’ — The Only Checklist You’ll Ever Need

Planning a wedding shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. That’s why we created this clear, stage-by-stage guide — so you can breathe easier and focus on what really matters: love, joy, and the details that make your day yours.

10–8 Months Before

Let the planning begin! This is the season of big-picture decisions — your dream venue, the perfect team, and early prep.

This is the vision stage — when it all starts to feel real. You’re booking your team, finding your dress, and sending out those first Save the Dates. It’s not about rushing — it’s about setting a solid, joyful foundation for everything ahead.

The magic is in the personalization. Now’s the time to choose heirloom-worthy tableware, finalize your floral design, and pen down those vows. Your story deserves more than generic — especially at the table where it’s told.

You’ve done the work — now it’s about care, calm, and a little bit of magic.
