I have been proposed to, now what?
First of all: congratulations! Finally, your love asked you the big question and ofcourse you said "YES"! We can imagine that after this beautiful moment, all sorts of things are already running through your mind very quickly. We are here to help you with the first steps after the marriage proposal. Relax, enjoy and get inspired!
Enjoy this moment!
Perhaps the most important part of being engaged: enjoy the moment! A very fun but also busy period awaits you. So take your time to enjoy this romantic occasion. For you, "enjoying the moment" might also include sharing the good news with friends and family. Share the joy! Decide together in advance how you want to let everyone know that you are engaged. Need some inspiration? The photos below are easy to make and fun to send around or share on your social media. Let the anticipation begin!
Pick the date
You have probably been asked a few times after the announcement of your engagement, "Do you already have a date"? Maybe there is a special day that has a lot of meaning for you or you already knew right away what your wedding date will be. But if you still can't quite decide on a date so soon after the engagement, at least start thinking about when you want to get married. Organising a wedding can take from 8 months to a year, so it's good to take that into account.
The wedding location
For a lot of couples, this is one of the most difficult decisions when it comes to the wedding day: where do you get married? After all, the venue is an important foundation of your wedding day. Whether you go for a chic castle wedding, a bohemian outdoor wedding or an urban city wedding, your taste will be best served at a location that fits the overall picture of your wedding. Not quite decided yet? Start looking for wedding venues that appeal to you both. Make two lists and see where the similarities are. Once you have found a venue, contact them as soon as possible to book a day. If you have chosen a date, you can secure it right away. But if you only have a month or period in mind, you may want to consult with the wedding venue to find a suitable date.
Say yes to the dress
Yes, this is probably the thing you as a bride have been dreaming about the longest: the wedding dress! You might think that your outfits do not have to be at the top of your list, but we are here to tell you that besides the date and the venue, finding a wedding dress cannot wait too long. Currently, we recommend that you start choosing your wedding dress 9 to 12 months before your wedding day. A wedding dress can take up to 6 to 7 months to be delivered. Then, of course, the wedding dress needs to be altered perfectly for you and you should allow around 3 months for this too. In short: make your dream come true as soon as possible and start looking for the wedding dress that suits you perfectly. We look forward to welcoming you to our wedding palace. Did you know that men can also come to us for a wedding suit? If you come to us for your wedding dress, we can also advise your husband to be perfectly matched to the wedding dress.

Of course, your to-do list for the wedding will get a lot longer. There is so much more to arrange after the wedding date, wedding venue and your outfits. But we hope this blog has already helped you a little bit on your way.
Don't forget to enjoy and make the preparations as unforgettable as your wedding day itself.
