From Engagement to Wedding Day: A Bespoked Love Journey

Congratulations on your engagement! This is an exciting time filled with love, joy, and the anticipation of planning your wedding. At Bespoked Love, we understand the unique needs of newly engaged couples and specialize in creating intimate, personalized wedding experiences. Here’s a comprehensive timeline and guide to help you navigate the journey from engagement to wedding day, tailored to our niche of small, unique weddings.

1. Celebrate and Announce (1-2 Months)

- Share the News: Enjoy the moment and share your engagement news with family and friends.

- Initial Conversations: Begin discussing your wedding vision and preferences with your partner. Do you envision a simple table signing, an adventurous pop-up wedding, or a cozy micro wedding?

2. Envision Your Day (3-4 Months)

- Set a Budget: Determine a budget that reflects your priorities. Small, intimate weddings can be more cost-effective, allowing you to allocate funds to what matters most.

- Choose a Date: Pick a date that works for you and your key guests.

- Guest List: For a micro wedding, curate a guest list that includes your closest family and friends, typically 20-50 people. For a table signing, it can be just the two of you and your witnesses.

3. Find Your Venue and Officiant (4-5 Months)

- Venue Options: Choose a venue that fits your style. Whether it’s a serene park, a cozy home, or an unexpected pop-up location, Bespoked Love helps you find the perfect setting.

- Officiant: Select an officiant who resonates with your vision. Our experienced officiants at Bespoked Love ensure a personalized and meaningful ceremony.

4. Plan the Details (5-6 Months)

- Attire: Select your wedding attire. For intimate weddings, you can opt for less traditional, more personal styles that reflect your individuality.

- Vendors: Book your essential vendors. For small weddings, this might include a photographer, florist, and caterer.

- Personal Touches: Think about personal touches like unique vows, a custom playlist, or special readings to make your day memorable.

5. Send Invitations (6-7 Months)

- Save the Dates: Send out save-the-date cards early, especially if you’re planning a destination wedding or your guests need to make travel arrangements.

- Invitations: Follow up with formal invitations that match the style and tone of your wedding.

6. Create a Timeline (7-8 Months)

- Schedule: Develop a detailed timeline for your wedding day. Even for small gatherings, a well-planned schedule ensures everything runs smoothly.

- Rehearsal: Plan a rehearsal if needed, especially if you have a bridal party or a more complex ceremony.

7. Finalize Details (8-9 Months)

- Confirm Vendors: Reach out to your vendors to confirm details and timelines.

- Decor and Favors: Finalize your decor and any favors for your guests. For intimate weddings, personalized favors can add a special touch.

8. Prepare for the Big Day (10-11 Months)

- Relax and Enjoy: Take some time to relax and enjoy the final weeks before your wedding. This is a great time for premarital counseling or couple’s activities to strengthen your bond.

- Pack: Prepare a day-of bag with essentials like your rings, vows, and any other necessary items.

9. Your Wedding Day (12 Months)
