Planning your wedding can be hard work, from start to finish you need a place to organize your research, thoughts, process and every little detail. Making a personal wedding planning book is a great place to compile everything you need! Along with the book for your visual ideas it is always a good idea to keep an accordion folder labeled with the different areas you will be focusing on. It will keep your papers all together and will be a one stop resource for everything you need. Such as; venue, dresses, catering, decorations. Even if you are having a small quaint wedding, there are so many details that will get lost if you don't keep track from the beginning!
Supplies:
- Blank Scrapbook or photo album (great place to slide in loose elements).
(I always see great ones at Home sense or on sale at Chapters)
- Glue, ruler, bright coloured markers, sliver and gold for titles are very neat!
- Pencils for the subject to change details and pens for concrete ideas
- Scrapbook and construction paper
- Templates to print off or use as guidelines http://www.niagaraweddinghelper.com/wed_plan_book.htm
1. Decide on the core areas you want to focus on in your book and create tabs for the specific sections.
2. Create a calendar to be on one of the first pages in the book, a few months before the wedding with steps to planning, create deadlines for yourself and lead up steps.
3. Begin with the big picture, (venue, dates, guests) and work your way down to the smaller details
4. Cut and paste and place in any interesting pictures, quotes or ideas you have for the wedding.
5. When details become finalized start to write them down in the calendar
... and keep adding more details until the big day!
Good luck and happy planning!
