You have been waiting for the day since the moment you realised you had found your soulmate. The day that you would be asked that all-important question. Where someone might get down on bended knee, and surprise you with some elaborate affair, roses, and fireworks, however, it is done, and they finally ask you to marry them and place a ring on your left hand. But what now?

When the moment has passed, the champagne has been drunk, and the emotions have calmed down, the reality sets in. You need to start planning a wedding. But where do you start? I wanted to share with you some of the finer details that can be quite the enjoyable moments of planning a wedding. After all, it is going to be the best day of your life. 

You’re engaged, but what now?

The exciting bit: the wedding dress

Many girls dream of trying on wedding dresses when they are younger. They imagine exactly what they may look like and what they might wear. But nothing beats the excitement of booking those appointments and trying on those dresses for the first time. You may even think you know exactly what you want for your big day. However, the best thing to do is to try on each type of dress and ensure you do plenty of research on different wedding dress designers and boutique stores available. 

The formal bit: the ring

No wedding can be complete without the vows and the exchanging of rings. So deciding on the best wedding ring for the ceremony is of great importance. You need to decide on what type of ring is the best fit for your engagement ring. It all depends on the type of stone you have, how big it is, and what type of metal your ring is. They can give you ideas, especially if you are looking for unique styles and different settings that will work well with your current ring on the finger. 

The fun bit: the venue, and entertainment

The venue and the entertainment can be considered a huge part of your day. It’s the place where things happen, the food gets eaten, the drinks get drunk, and the chance to wear those dancing shoes of yours. So choosing the right place for the nuptials is very important, but it is also a tough decision to make. There are some great tips online websites online to help with this. You need to ensure that it’s the ideal location and can cover the number of guests you are wanting. 

The tricky bit: the guest list

Finally, the guest list is always going to be one of the trickiest things to overcome. It’s a case of deciding who you want there, and who you would rather not invite. Family and friends can get involved, and it’s understandable that emotions can run high. But the best thing to do is to remember that it is your day. 

I hope that this gives you a better idea of what happens next when you get engaged.
