I started planning a little over 2 years before! Now 9 months to go and almost all is sorted and it’s a massive relief!

Its never too early to start gathering ideas and i know of some venues that require booking 13 months in advance. The first thing we did was go looking at venues and asking for quotes, then we booked the venue in March, next i looked at photographers got a whole bunch of quotes and made a decision. If you are on a tight budget i would pay for the expensive things first e.g. venue, photographer, so you have an idea of how much money you have for other things. We marry next April.

If you’re single. And even then you can have a browse at things.
But once you’re in a relationship I think it’s natural to think of your wedding day.

But as soon as that ring hit your ring, get planning babes!

Probably want to wait until you're engaged. Otherwise it's never too early x

I got engaged on 21st June 2019 and we are planning a Sept 2021 wedding. We are planning things now and having the luxury of doing it at a nice pace so we don't feel rushed.

Start now! Then once everything is done you'll be able to relax abit more, there are somethings that cant be done until nearer the time but atleast having ideas or plans is going to help save time and possibly money x
