1) What kind of Wedding do you want?

Picture your ideal wedding—the one that would make you and your fiancé happiest. Think about where it is taking place, the atmosphere/vibe of the evening, what are people eating/drinking, is there dancing, who is there, etc…. In this exercise, forget any rules or assumptions you have in your head.

2) How many people will be invited and ultimately attend?

This usually requires list making but the goal is to create a realistic range.

3) Who will contribute to overall cost and how much can each contribute?

The goal is not to clearly answering these questions but rather to jumpstart the process. Planning a wonderful wedding is a process that takes time. This exercise will help you start developing answers the the key questions. Next steps will focus on how to properly bring the two together your fantasy and your reality.

The bar had a sheer red fabric lit from behind to make it feel dramatic.
