Ginger's Tips for a Standout Wedding

So you are officially engaged!  Now WHAT?

Most brides can envision their wedding day from the time they are a little girl but once the time comes to start planning...they have no idea where to start!   The first steps in planning should always be deciding the size of the guest list closely followed by discussing the wedding budget.   By making these two top decisions first they will serve as the foundation for all your future decisions. For example, if you have a large guest list with a modest budget you may have to cut corners on serving a fancy sit down dinner by serving hors d'oeuvres at the reception instead.  But if a sit down dinner is a priority for you, then you may have to look at cutting back the guest list.  Just remember the qualities that are most important to you should serve as your guide throughout the planning process.   Much love!
