5 To-Do's Before You Say "I Do"

Ahhhhh, when wedding season comes to an end, another season closely follows: engagement season! We’d be lying if we said we weren’t a bunch of softies when it comes to the proposal pictures… I mean, who isn’t?! From the sparkling ring to the sparkling smiles, it’s the first step towards forever with your future hubby!

Your Budget

It’s no secret that planning a wedding comes with what can be a hefty price tag. Budgeting is key throughout the entire planning process. Do you want a big wedding or small? Are you staying local or jetting off to a destination? Are you the DIY kind of gal? All of these details can add up quickly, but planning a wedding doesn’t have to totally break the bank!

Pick Your Wedding Party

Figuring out your #bridetribe early on is going to take an immense amount of pressure off of your shoulders from the very beginning. Grab your girl gang and get to planning! These people will be your backbone throughout every inevitable hiccup that comes along with the planning process.

Choose A Date!

Now this is where the fun starts… choosing the date to say “I Do”! Are you drawn to spring florals or autumn rustic vibes? Will your guests be indoors or outdoors? Considering these aspects is crucial when choosing the day of your wedding. Plus, this will be the day you and your hubby will be celebrating for the rest of your lives… it’s okay to be picky!



Find Your Venue

One of our favorite parts of being a wedding music ensemble is seeing all of the different venues our couples choose! From an underground cave to an elegant church, every venue perfectly explains our couples’ dynamics. Are you more rustic and outdoorsy? Or have you always dreamed of marrying in a traditional church? See what feels right!

Choose The Vendors

Whether it’s caterers, florists, musicians, or photographers, you’re likely going to cross paths with numerous vendors leading up to your wedding day. Communication and trust are the key components to choosing wedding vendors! You want people that share your vision and will actually deliver when it’s comes down to the big day. Here at Got Strings, we cater entirely to our couple’s vision. From ensemble size to music selection, we want to bring these visions to life!

So cheers, friend! To saying yes, and to making the first step to the start of forever! Happy planning!
