Recently gotten engaged and wondering where on earth do I start? Well, you\u2019re in the right place!<\/p>\n

As an experienced Wedding Coordinator, Xanthe has popped together a list of the first things you should do…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\"\"\n

Celebrate<\/strong>
\nFirstly, enjoy your engagement, this\u00a0will 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)<\/a>\u2013 whatever feels like the perfect way for you to celebrate the big YES!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\"\"\n

Tell your nearest & dearest<\/strong>
\nSharing your happy news with your family and friends is always super exciting, there are so many fun ways to tell them\u2026 an extravagant reveal, a FaceTime call or a simple post on Instagram, whatever feels right for you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\"\"\n

Insure your engagement ring<\/strong>
\nNow this one seems a little boring and really what is the worst that can happen? Rest assured you won\u2019t be mad at yourself for insuring your engagement ring if you do happen to have a Kim K diamond earring moment\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discuss your dream day<\/strong>
\nOften 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<\/em>, as after all it is your day and it\u2019s important to remember that!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Create a mood board<\/strong>
\nPinterest 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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider the length of your engagement<\/strong>
\nThis 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\u2019re in a rush to get married or whether you\u2019d like to sit back and enjoy a nice long engagement\u2026 if you do have specific suppliers, dates or venues you\u2019ve always dreamt of then this may be something you need to look into sooner rather than later!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! The most important thing is to enjoy your engagement and the whole process of planning your dream wedding as it will come by so fast<\/p>\n
