Advice for Newly Engaged Couples: Know Your Priorities

Happy engagement season Northern Colorado Brides! As a newly engaged couple, you are probably getting lots of advice from friends and family on wedding planning. If you are just getting started, and feel overwhelmed, we completely understand! The decisions seem endless, right? One of the best pieces of advice we have for newly engaged couples is to sit down together and pick your top THREE priorities. This will help you stay true to your vision, values, and budget. 

For example, maybe your priorities are amazing photos, a large guest list, and delicious food. With this list, you know that most of your budget will go towards a great wedding photographer, a venue that can hold a large number of people, and a trusted caterer. This also means that you know where you can cut costs - like floral arrangements, a live band, or a five-tier wedding cake. 

Another example of your top three priorities could be a designer dress, a videographer, and custom stationary. This helps you determine when to splurge and when other things can take a back seat. Creating and sticking to a budget is important and knowing your priorities can help ensure you don’t go overboard when planning your Colorado wedding.  

Luckily, a wedding venue like Strauss Cabin Farmhouse can help you stay on budget and have the beautiful wedding of your dreams. With affordable prices and a trusted vendor list, our northern Colorado wedding venue is customizable to your needs and unique vision.
