Hi, we're Modern Vintage. We love weddings, we love love & we love to sing while we set up. Our favorite part of the day is watching you, as a new couple, walk back down the aisle after the ceremony. That feeling of elation & pure joy is why we do what we do.

I’m Engaged. What Do I Do Now?

Jun 25

Butterflies, excitement, phone calls and lots of scouring wedding blogs!  The first few days after you get engaged are so exciting. You are still on a “he went to Jared” high and are just floating around looking down at your left hand.  Then you start to plan your wedding.  You research vendors, you start making phone calls and you start getting overwhelmed!  Yes, it happens to the best.  You realize there are a ridiculous amount of details involved in this whole wedding planning thing and you don’t know where to begin.

*Insert shameless plug here*.  Begin with the basics, like booking a wedding planner.  We will make your life easier by recommending vendors in your style and price range and helping you stay on budget.  Make sure even before you have called us you have a general budget in mind and then a general estimate on guests.  We can help with ways to keep up with that budget and help you allocate the money where it is the most important.  After calling a planner you should start with your ceremony and reception sites because they book pretty early in advance.

So I found the image above here and the bride from 1993 seems to have it so easy.  She has her wedding checklist down to five things.  Clearly the most important thing on her list is stationary with bridal party gifts being a close second.  Don’t you wish wedding planning could be condensed into five essentials?  Aren’t you so glad 90’s hair stayed in the 90s? We have a checklist that we give to each one of our full planning packages with your to dos through the planning process.  We also help keep you on track with these to dos.  Think of this as your friend that will stay with you for the 9, 12, 18 months you are planning.  We will also be your sweet little friend who stays with you through these months.  We kinda want to have coffee with you after the wedding too!One of the biggest things I recommend is sitting down and really considering what is most important to you.  For instance, do you want a really really amazing photographer?  Have you always dreamed of really upscale food?  Maybe you have this cake in your head that is five tiers and very ornate.  Maybe you know you want a rockin’ video.  Whatever it is that you think is really important, make sure you allocate money there first in your budget.Ok, there are my words of wisdom for the day.  Take them, mull over them and have fun planning that big day!
