Engaged on Valentine’s Day? Here’s What to Do Next!
Thursday 13th February 2025
Valentine’s is the most romantic season of the year and one of the most popular days for engagements! If you’ve just said ‘yes’ – congratulations! You’re getting married! And that means only one thing – planning your dream wedding day.
Planning can be a hectic and stressful process, so where do you start? Here’s our guide to help you take those exciting first steps.
1. Admire the Ring
This is probably something you’re already doing, but there’s no harm in admiring it again (and again)! Try different lights and angles to see how it sparkles – and don’t forget to share a picture on social media. Your partner will love seeing how much you adore it!
2. Start Thinking About Your Wedding
It’s never too early to start thinking about your dream wedding, and having a vision in mind will be helpful later on.
Top Tip: Make sure to chat with your partner about what you both want. Focus on the big details first – budget, guest numbers, theme, and location. This will make planning much easier!
3. Explore Wedding Venues (Online and In-Person)
Once you’ve identified your priorities, it’s time to look for the perfect wedding venue. Browse online for inspiration and make a shortlist of places you’d love to visit. Seeing venues in person is the best way to get a feel for how your big day might look.
4. Have a Look at Gowns
Now that you’re dreaming about your wedding, why not take a peek at wedding gowns (or suits)? You don’t need to make any decisions yet – just get inspired!
Top Tip: You may not know what style will suit your body shape until you try it on, so keep an open mind and enjoy the experience!
5. Think About the Little Details
Start making notes about the personal touches that will make your wedding unique. Would you like live music? A signature cocktail? It’s these small details that will bring your dream day to life and make it truly yours.
Bonus Tip: Create a Pinterest board or save photos on Instagram to gather all your ideas in one place.
