“I’m a planner, so maybe it’s easy for me to say,” Bryan advises, “but I think every bride should immediately come up with a plan. Sit down and think, ‘What do I really want? How does this fit into my life?'” He suggests making a timeline, a calendar, a budget, and even an idea of your personal style. After that, the rest will fall into place beautifully. “If you take care of it early on, then you can actually forget about it later,” Bryan adds.
