#WeddingInspiration

Just got engaged? First — congratulations! Before you dive into Pinterest boards and venue inquiries, pause. This once-in-a-lifetime chapter deserves a moment to breathe. Start by soaking it all in — celebrate, call your favorite people, and enjoy the glow. When you’re ready, have the budget conversation before guest lists and design dreams. Your budget sets the direction. Next, secure your foundation: venue and planner. These two decisions shape everything that follows. And if you’re considering a private estate, remember — bringing in every element requires thoughtful financial planning. We recommend allocating 20–25% of your total budget to the venue to keep the full experience balanced and beautiful. And if this Valentine’s Day didn’t bring a proposal, be gentle with your heart. Love isn’t defined by a ring — it’s built from within. Wherever you are in your story, this season is about love in all its forms. 💕
