You're engaged - now what? :: Krista Marie Photography :: NJ Wedding Photographer

Yay! You're finally engaged! This is one of the most happiest times of your life - so far :)

I know I was over the moon when my boyfriend proposed to me - on the Spiderman ride in Universal (how amazing is that?!) That was hands down one of the best days in my life. My best friend asked me to marry him - doesn't get any better than that!

Okay - so after announcing it to your friends and family on Facebook and other social media websites the panic might set in. All these ideas are coming to mind - what type of dress do you want? what type of flowers? what is the color scheme going to be? buffet or sit down? The list goes on and on...Don't Freak Out! I am going to list the different ways to make the planning a little easier.

Pinterest

Yes, some may say its the worst and they are right! I am addicted to this site, but its okay, I think we all are ;) I made several different boards so it is easier to go back when you are either looking for cake ideas or talking to your florist. (I made cute names for them - so be creative!)
My boards: To Have And To Hold: Dress/Accessories & Hair/Makeup
To Have And To Hold: Honeymoon Style
To Have And To Hold: Let Them Eat Cake
To Have And To Hold: Flowers
To Have And To Hold: Ceremony/Reception

Do what will work best for you - I figured this would be the best way for me since I freak out when the pins are everywhere. I will be putting some pins on my Pinterest board so you guys should go follow - and I'll follow back!

Tablet + Pinterest - I save my favorites that I have pinned and made folders in the gallery so I can look at them for inspiration.

Phone + Tablet

I downloaded 2 different apps - both are free
1. The Knot Wedding Planner (phone only - my tablet doesn't support it)
2. Wedding LookBook by The Knot (both phone and tablet)

The Wedding Planner - This is such a great app for the bride that is always on the run. There is a time line to help stay on top of things you need to get done. You can also look for vendors, photographers, florists, etc.

The Wedding LookBook - I started looking on this app when trying to find what I liked for my dress (when actually going to try them on, I chose one that was no where near what I was looking at so keep that in mind!). They have added a few more features since I've started with it. This is great because you can choose what you want and the price range you want to stick to.

Books + Magazines

When my fiance and I got back from vacation my boss and I went to Barnes & Noble to start looking at different books to get ideas. It was such a nice day - while we ate lunch at Starbucks, we looked at what each other picked out. I did purchase a few so I can look at them further when I got home. I got a few DIY books, some magazines for dresses, how to be smart with your money. Choose what books you think will be best. I do look at these a lot less then Pinterest, but it is nice to have a book in your hands :)

I will go more in depth with this in the next blog post. This has helped me so much by keeping everything important in one spot. I found this idea on Pinterest, followed the link, and printed out the pages that I needed. If you don't think you will follow anything else from above, please do this! It will help you the most!

Okay - so I think I have said all that needed to be said! I apologize if this was a long one but there was so much information that I wanted you all the know. If something else that I did not mention work for you, please comment below! I would love to learn what you have done to help make this journey a little easier.

Later Loves!
-Krista
