Engaged Now What ? | You & Me Collective Feature
/So you’re newly engaged and on Cloud 9!
Right now, we know it’s all a bit of a whirlwind of emotions - from where to begin planning, to budget stresses and late nights binge eating watching American wedding movies that are 100% unattainable (we recommend 27 Dresses or Mama Mia).
There are 1,000 thoughts running through your head - do I actually want that Fijian beach wedding or something extravagant? How to I announce on FB to maximise likes? Who will I pick as my bridesmaids without pissing everyone off? Will our parents go halves? We get it.
We’ve put together the perfect starter pack to ease your nerves and get you on the road to planning a kickass wedding. This makes a gorgeous gift for an engaged bestie or to treat yo’ self

Whether you’re planning on tying the knot soon or a few years down the track, be sure to slow down and enjoy the sights along the way.
Here are our top 5 don’t-panic-babes-you-got-this tips:
Start brainstorming a date and venue. This will give you a good base and make you feel like you’ve got your shit together. People will ask you about this before you’ve barely had a chance to think about it, but it’ll help as a conversation starter to throw some ideas out there.
Fretting about your body shape or skin? Get stuck in to some exercise and healthy eating. It’ll help you ease the nerves and feel like you’re making progress from the get-go.
Go and get your nails done so you can take gorg photos of your ring. It’ll boost your confidence showing it off too, as we all know fresh nails give the impression of ‘I’ve totally got myself together’.
Get a good planner, such as our Bride Business to jot down all your thoughts. It’ll help you feel grounded and in control.
Start pinning themes and ideas. It’s the fun part, and it’ll help to get the creative juices flowing.
Finally, plan an engagement party, because pressies, but also it’s a chance to have a bit of fun and celebrate your new chapter.
