Define Your Budget and Style

Before diving into the details, set a realistic budget. It’ll help you make informed decisions when choosing vendors, venues, catering, and décor.

Once you have a clear idea of how much you can invest, define the style you love most. Are you dreaming of a classic, boho, or modern wedding? Defining your style will guide every decision you make along the way.

Choose the Date and the Venue

If possible, choose a meaningful date for both of you, and check the availability of venues that match your taste and budget.

Be sure to consider the weather, especially if you’re planning an outdoor wedding in places like Colombia or Mexico, where climate can vary greatly by region.

Find the Perfect Wedding Bands

Your wedding bands are one of the most symbolic pieces of your special day. Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Explore your options and personal style: Decide whether you prefer yellow, white, or rose gold — or maybe a mix! You can also consider diamonds or custom engravings.

• Choose them together: It’s a beautiful and intimate moment, and we always recommend making this decision as a couple.

• Plan ahead: Order your bands at least three months in advance to ensure they’re ready and perfectly sized.

Choose the Ideal Accessories

Now that you have your wedding bands, it’s time for the finishing touches. Accessories do more than complete your look — they reflect your personality.

For the bride:

Choose jewelry that complements your dress. If you’re wearing a deep neckline, a delicate necklace might be perfect. For dresses with more intricate details, go for subtle earrings or a minimalist bracelet.

For the groom:

Cufflinks, tie pins, and watches are small details that can truly elevate the groom’s look. These pieces can also be customized for a unique touch.

Coordinate with Your Vendors

Make sure to hire trustworthy professionals for music, photography, catering, and décor. Always check references and sign clear contracts to avoid last-minute surprises.

If possible, we highly recommend hiring a wedding planner. As experts in the industry, they can take a huge weight off your shoulders, help you find the best vendors, and even save you money along the way.

Final Touches

• Dress rehearsal: Schedule a full try-on, including your jewelry and wedding bands, to ensure everything works in harmony.

• Wedding day timeline: Create a detailed itinerary with timing for each part of the day, and share it with your team and vendors.

Enjoy the Journey

Remember — the most important part is celebrating your love and commitment.

Take moments to pause, breathe, and enjoy the planning process together. These memories are just the beginning of something beautiful.
