Dear Bride-to-Be, Once the excitement settles and you're ready to plan, you'll need a roadmap to guide you turn by turn to the destination of your dream wedding so you can avoid the all-too-common road bumps and bruises! This portable, wedding planning checklist is your roadmap to a smooth, fun, and exhilarating adventure! Written by a wedding planner and pastry chef who specialize in the wedding industry, in this book and journal, you’re handed a 12-month wedding planning checklist and timeline that clients who pay thousands of dollars for support also receive. This to-the-point wedding journal from two industry pros is meant to give you straight-shooting advice without all of the fluff. Crystal and Garnet walk you through a wedding planning timeline beginning 12-plus months before your big day and tell you only the things they believe are essential to helping you plan a beautiful wedding that exceeds your dreams — and keeps you sane along the way! At each interval, they give you an at-a-glance overview of the “must-do” steps. Then, they dive a little deeper into each one by offering helpful pointers. You’ll find a journal and notes section at the end of every section so you can keep your thoughts organized, consciously write what you’re feeling, and capture any ideas along the way.
