Top Tips For The Newly Engaged

Celebrate
Firstly, enjoy your engagement, this will only ever happen once so take some time to soak it all up, share some champagne, have a party or go on a little getaway (maybe even to Symondsbury)– whatever feels like the perfect way for you to celebrate the big YES!

Tell your nearest & dearest
Sharing your happy news with your family and friends is always super exciting, there are so many fun ways to tell them… an extravagant reveal, a FaceTime call or a simple post on Instagram, whatever feels right for you!

Insure your engagement ring
Now this one seems a little boring and really what is the worst that can happen? Rest assured you won’t be mad at yourself for insuring your engagement ring if you do happen to have a Kim K diamond earring moment…

Discuss your dream day
Often people will have a dream wedding in mind, but equally you might have no idea what you want your wedding to be like. Before delving into the depths of wedding planning its always a great start to have a chat just the pair of you, before you get any input from family or friends, as after all it is your day and it’s important to remember that!

Create a mood board
Pinterest will become your best friend when wedding planning, trust us. Creating a board you both have access to is a great way to see what peaks your interest, nothing is set in stone and it creates the perfect way to open a discussion between you both and discover what you are both really hoping for from your wedding day.

Consider the length of your engagement
This may again seem a little odd, who knows how long they want to be engaged?! However, it’s good to discuss early on whether you’re in a rush to get married or whether you’d like to sit back and enjoy a nice long engagement… if you do have specific suppliers, dates or venues you’ve always dreamt of then this may be something you need to look into sooner rather than later!
