Whether you’ve been dreaming of a princess gown for as long as you can remember or the only aisle you’ve ever imagined walking down is at the supermarket, every bride gets a little overwhelmed once that ring is on her finger. Where do you start? What’s the first thing to do? What most brides don’t do is take the time to relax – enjoy the glow of being engaged before the mayhem sets in. There are a few exceptions where timing is of the essence (e.g. deployment, school or career obligations), but in general, every bride-to-be has the luxury of taking at least a week to relax and enjoy her engagement before the planning begins. For those anxious brides, don’t fret. My next blog will tell you exactly what to do first to start planning the wedding of your dreams.
And I wasn’t kidding about the manicure! Never before and never again will so many people be looking at your left hand – unless you happen to be the one hand model reading this blog. So my advice to all the newly engaged – take a deep breath, relax, enjoy being engaged and don’t forget that manicure!
