Did you just recently get engaged? Congratulations! Like many newly-engaged couples, you might have no idea how to begin planning. Well we’ve got good news for all you lovebirds — we’re here to help!

Depending on your budget, engagement period, and personal preferences, wedding planning varies among brides. However, the top 5 things most of our brides take care of first are:

1. Date & venue
2. Make registry
3. Choose vendors & officiant
4. Select bridal party
5. Dress shopping!

These suggestions are obviously not set in stone, and they will differ immensely depending on the bride. If you’re more of a visual learner than a list lover, we adore this picture-perfect flowchart by Lauren Conrad (below). Not only is it cute, it’s also super helpful!
