Youve just got engaged after waiting and waiting for him to ask you, and now full of excitement - you rush into your planning without even thinking about the 4 most important tips.

1. Dont Rush! Control your excitement, and enjoy being newly engaged. The two of you need to think about the logistics of planning your wedding day. We advise to hold off on planning for at least 2 weeks  then plan.
2. The Big Picture  Envision the kind of wedding outdoor/indoor, destination, or the season  once selected, your colors, d￩cor, flowers, and food will all fall into place.
3. Create your Wants and Needs List. The needs list should consist of having a venue and things like a good photographer. The want lists are items that you want personalized - like your centerpieces and napkins.
4. Budget! Knowing your allowance per service is very important. Sit down together and work out how much you have to spend and where you want to spend it. Couples tend to make poor choices - falling in love with a favorite location and not being able to afford other wedding necessities can imperfect your day.

Our best advice is to follow these 4 tips. Remember not to spend, put down deposits, or select venues until youve done your homework. Be true to your budget!
