Ahh, Diamond Confused - Now the fun starts!
I would suggest the following:
- Arm yourself with some wedding planning resources, i.e., buy/read some wedding planning related books/magazines/websites (The Knot)
- Book ceremony site/church if separate from reception venue.
- Research, Interview and hire a wedding planner or day of coordinator, if desired.
- Research, Interview and hire major wedding vendors -
- photographer, florist, DJ, officiant, as applicable
- Determine Guest List
- Select wedding party
- Select & send out Save the Dates, if you want them
- Start looking for wedding dress & bridesmaid dresses
- Select invites
This is all that I can think of right now to keep you busy, however, it does depend on the level of formality, type and size of your wedding. Some of this stuff may not be applicable. ...
