Dream a Little
First of all, pick up a few bridal magazines or hop on Pinterest for some inspiration. Now is the time to dream up what you would love to have happen when you and your beloved tie the knot. Once you start looking around a little bit, you just might be surprised at what you like and what you don't. Think about your everyday life, hobbies, and favorite things. A wedding should tell the story of you and your fiance. Do you both love the ocean? You may want to lean towards sand and seashells. If you are both bookworms, you could style your ceremony around the theme of your favorite book. Are you a flowers-everywhere kind of girl, are you all about lace and crystals, or do cowboy boots and mason jars feel more like you style? Now is the time to think of amazing things, like a giant fireworks display at the end of the night. Let yourself enjoy a little fantasy for a few days, then settle into reality and decide which of those things are possible and which you can do without.
Make a Guest List
This can be a bit of a chore, but the size of the guest list will greatly impact a lot of decisions that you will need to make later on, like the venue and the dinner choices. Four lists are a good place to start; yours, his, your family's, and his family's. Hopefully they have a lot of the same names. Combine them all, and then decide who absolutely has to be invited and if you want it to be big or stay small.Pick A Venue & Date
These go hand in hand. Decide which of these two is most important to you. If you absolutely have to have the Country Club where the two of you first met, then your date will depend on what days that venue has available. If you have your heart set on a special date, then you may have to be flexible about where you hold the celebration. If that gorgeous hotel ballroom is booked on the date you've picked, it's time to start looking at your next choices. Don't forget to make sure that the venue chosen will allow all of those special wedding plans that you dreamed up earlier.
Look for the Dresses
Now it really gets exciting! You have most likely been noticing each and every wedding dress that your eye comes across in magazines, on tv, in commercials... you see them everywhere. Your bridesmaids have probably been giving you their ideas too, especially about what they will be wearing. Brides of America's Miami wedding dress store can outfit you, your girls, the flower girls, and the mothers. We are a "by appointment only" store, giving us the ability to give you and your wedding party every bit of our undivided attention and spoil you like you deserve. The owner, David Abadi, has an exceptional eye for fashion, and he chooses extensive selections of gowns from moderate to upscale to suit the entire wedding party. Brides of America is an authorized dealer of Mori Lee Bridal gowns. Don't be afraid to try on everything that you think looks remotely pretty. You never know what style really looks amazing on you personally until you see them on your own body. Don't put this step off, because dresses will need time to be ordered and fitted. If you cannot get to Miami, you still have access to our stunning wedding dresses online through our website.Find Your Vendors
Booking vendors for your wedding early is the safest way to make sure that you get the ones that you really want. A wedding coordinator can save your sanity through the entire process. A good wedding planner will take your ideas and make them happen, not convince you that their ideas are better than yours. Pick one that your personality really clicks with because that means you will have an easy working relationship. Next, start finding the other vendors that can only do one wedding a day, like photographers and officiants. Bakers and florists can usually do a few in the same day, so you have a little more time to book them. The most important thing with this step is that you do your research. Even with a planner, it is still wise to check reviews, interview all vendors, and read contracts very carefully.Dress the Gentlemen
The guys get to dress up too. You can rent your tuxedos from Tuxedo USA right inside the Brides of America wedding gown store in Miami. Tuxedos can be rented starting at $79.95. Your groom will probably be happy to wear whatever you pick out for him, but remember to keep his style and comfort in mind when choosing. You know him better than anyone, so pick his attire keeping in mind what his style is.
A LOT goes into making the wedding of your dreams become a reality. Whatever you end up planning, make sure that it is a true reflection of you as a couple, that is's fun for you and the people you choose to share the day with, and you remember to enjoy the process. We would love to hear all about your plans when get to the wedding gown-choosing phase. Our wedding dress store has outfitted lots of brides, and we've heard lots of stories. We've nearly seen and heard it all, so we might even be able to answer questions that you have. Don't be afraid to ask when you are here. Our goal is to make you the happiest, most beautiful bride ever.
