Congrats, You’re Engaged!

When I got engaged the first thing I started thinking about was my wedding vision—something that proved much harder to settle on than planning off to a successful start, we’ve got ideas for 15 different styles to inspire your day (p. 118). Once you’ve nailed your venue and theme, it will be so much easier to pick a gorgeous cake design (p. 160) and all the other details, as well as choose a dress that suits you and your wedding. And whether it’s a fun, flirty or straight-up sexy gown you’re envisioning, turn to “Let the Good Times Roll” (p. 188) for some seriously beautiful fashion inspo. Of course, it will be hard to pull off your day without a plan for how to pay for it. Luckily, we’ve got tips and tricks for ways to save (p. 241). Plus, there’s so much more to explore in this issue, from this year’s hottest trends (p. 130) to where to register right now (p. 173), so get ready to dog-ear pages and let us help you plan a we wedding that’s totally you.
