If you’re newly engaged (congratulations, by the way!), it can be hard to know what the first steps in planning your wedding should be and just where you should start. Should you start looking for venues? Contact all your besties and ask them to be bridesmaids? Beg your parents for money so you can have your dream wedding?

In this week’s video, I’m sharing the first five steps you should take in order to get your wedding planning started off on the right foot. (And hint… it’s none of the ones I just mentioned!)

Let me know in the comments what you think about my recommendation for what you should do as the first steps. Were any of them a surprise to you?
