Congrats! You said yes, and now your engaged! Shortly after the initial excitement of seeing that beautiful ring on your finger, you get into full wedding planning mode. Choosing a theme, colors, invitation designs, who’s going to be in the wedding party… Trust me, it came full force for me!

As a wedding photographer, I had a grand vision for our wedding. However, the reality of it was, we were paying for most of it ourselves. That meant setting a realistic budget. I mean, c’mon, weddings nowadays aren’t cheap, right?! The theme for our wedding I aimed towards was classy, yet simple. As soon as we received our engagement photos back from our amazing photographers, Amy and Jordan, I began my search for the perfect save the date. The excitement of announcing our date to our closest family and friends had me all sorts of happy and giddy. So much that I must have sifted through hours and hours worth of designs. It almost felt like I should have paid myself a wedding planning fee! I wanted our save the dates to mimic the style of our wedding I envisioned, but without having to spend the high price tag that can come with wedding paper products.
