Just Engaged? 5 Key Steps to Start Your Northern Virginia Wedding Planning Journey

💍 Just got engaged? Welcome to the best kind of chaos! Before the spreadsheets and seating charts take over, here are 5 must-do first steps to kick off your Northern Virginia wedding planning right:
1. Celebrate 🎉 — take a breather, soak it in, enjoy it. Maybe book an engagement shoot at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, Old Town Alexandria, or a vineyard in Leesburg.
2. Set Budget & Guest Count — not glam, but critical. These two decisions shape everything (venue, catering, rentals, you name it).
3. Pick Your Wedding Vibe — rustic barn? Historic garden? Luxe ballroom? Your vibe drives decor, attire, even menus.
4. Choose a Season or Date Window — Spring and Fall are hot spots in NoVA; Winter & weekdays can save you money.
5. Start Touring Venues — and fast. Popular spots book 12-18 months ahead. Always ask about rain plans, vendor rules, noise curfews, etc.

👉 The goal isn’t to plan every detail now — it’s to lay down the foundation so what follows is smoother.

If you need help comparing venues or want a custom plan that actually makes sense, I’ve got you.
