Start with a MOODBOARD - An absolute must! Helped me no end!
I totally understand the stress of weddings we are planning our renewal of vows for 2014 and i remember the stress of the first time but by the time you get to the wedding day most brides are almost as good as a wedding planner believe me! I started with a moodboard for my first and will be doing this again.
This way to get to put everything thats visually in your head onto a board and this helps suppliers out no end! You can create a really uniformed look for you wedding by doing this at the very start as you can discover better themes half way through planning!
I used an online one at dessy.com but heres a link to a good blog piece on where to start with the planning, creating a moodboard and there is a link to dessy on it. Good luck you will be fine! xx
