The first step to planning a wonderful wedding day is to relax and remember the reason for the wedding is that you are getting married, in other words, you are not getting married to have a wedding.

When it comes to planning, get yourself organized and take it slowly, use all the January bridal shows, wedding magazines and blogs a source of inspiration at first, don’t let them overwhelm you. Look for inspiration in other places too, weddings are about celebrating your personalities and your style — consider what inspires you on a daily basis from a style of architecture, to your favourite artist to the first meal you and your partner shared — inspiration for the design of a wedding can come from anywhere.

When you are ready to do some serious research and zero in on trusted resources, ask your friends which shows, blogs or magazines they found had the most useful and practical information. Select a couple and stick with them.

Most importantly relax, enjoy being engaged and the wedding planning process, and take it slowly!
