It’s the most wonderful time of the year, in more ways than one!  The holidays traditionally are prime time proposal season. It seems everyone knows somebody that has become engaged during the holiday season.  We certainly have enjoyed hearing from friends and family who have become engaged over the past few festive days – what an exciting and special time of year for proposals and celebrating with loved ones.

If you are newly engaged to be married, we submit our most heartfelt congratulations! We could not be more excited for you, and hope you will be able to step back, breathe, and enjoy your engagement – one of the most special times of your lives.  Seriously, way too many folks don’t stop to enjoy the emotional high from the proposal and step too quickly into planning mode, forgetting  to enjoy the actual engagement.  So shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone you know that you are engaged and in love!

Once you have shared your news with the world and have taken some time to celebrate,  you will be ready to focus on the actual wedding plans.  It is very important that as a couple you give some thought to the type of wedding you would like to have, and discuss it with your families especially if they are contributing to the expenses. Will it be formal, semi-formal, or casual? Will it be held during the day or the evening?   It will also be important to set some guest list and budget parameters as well since these decisions will dictate your venue choices and more.  From there, you will want to make some preliminary decisions regarding wedding party members so that you can make plans to ask your friends and family to support you in those roles. Next, start pulling together ideas and inspiration that will guide the design of your wedding from your attire and invitations through to your flowers and entertainment.

The advice and assistance of a professional wedding planner at this point will be invaluable. Whether you are seeking consultation services to guide and keep you on track or seeking full service design and planning, our team of professional, experienced planners is here to help.  Give us a call at 321.454.2144, email us at info@uywedding.com, or fill out our handy inquiry form by clicking here.  We welcome the opportunity to meet you for a personal consultation to discuss your ideas and wedding vision in detail.

And don’t forget, during this entire process, to focus on the engagement and each other so that your relationship will continue to flourish. It is your love for each other that brought you to this point in your lives. Celebrate and enjoy!
