First pick your colors. Something you totally love and are a signature of yourself. Buy some bridal magazines and start to paint a canvass in your mind as far as what you will want as your theme. There are actual schedules printed as to what you need to be doing and how it fits into the big day. Congratulations!

jodie is right, pick theme and colors, but a scrap book is a geat thing to do or an expanding file- having a great time going thru magazines and books too! If your having your reception, you can get neat ideas for table decor, little bubbles or thank yous (cards,computer sticker that you place on little gifts with ribbons and flowers etc) that you can make or put out, fabrics, chair decor,florals etc. Also cake decor- go on wilton.com and food network and get fun ideas. Also good ol' Martha Stewart books or mags might have some neat stuff.There's alot that you can do way ahead of time so you aren't stressing! Congrats and good luck in your new life!

listing down things for your dream wedding is a great idea. I also suggest go on websites and make calls so you can actually get a price and delivery time on everything. Have a list with prices and all add-ons. Like for catering, would they include the cake? Or the venue, do they have the tables and chairs? Or would their service be available on the day you wanted. Figuring out the motif of your wedding is the easiest part, getting all the logistics together is a challenge. Good luck!

It doesn't hurt to start getting idea, like selecting pictures of things you like. Over time, you will be able to look at those pictures and see what they all have in common. Those that ring true will probably be the best choices for your actual wedding. Colors, dress designs, favors, table decorations..... Get a list of things you want to use for your wedding. Those are the pictures you want to collect. If you don't plan on having an outdoor wedding, then it would be foolish to gather pictures of gazebo decorations.

I just got married in September and felt overwhelmed myself when starting out. There's so much to plan.
It's true what everyone says -- you need to start with a date & time (which gives you direction for season / colors, attire, formality) and a venue (which gives you direction for formality, tone, size of guest list, budget, and potentially theme). Once those things are in writing, you can begin getting more serious about the details.
In the meantime, have FUN looking at magazines and ripping out things you like -- I kept a binder filled with images I collected over our 1-year engagement, split out by flowers vs. attire vs. venue decor, etc. etc. Some of them wound up being things I showed to my florist months later, and plenty ended up in the trash. But it'll start giving you a sense for what kind of things you like / dislike.
I'm sure you know, but www.theknot.com is an amazing resource with checklists of things you need to consider / plan / do, guest list book, you can make your own wedding website, etc. It was a huge help to me.
Best wishes and good luck!

That is a perfect idea. I did the same thing for my best friend (I was her moh and she was mine). I'm also making a scrapbook for another friend who's getting married soon. Then you have a page for everything you need to prepare and pictures of what you want. Then you dont forget anything. Some of the pages in their books were: gown, shoes, veil, tux, bridesmaids, groomsmen, invitations, flowers, cakes, honeymoon, venues, officiant, showers, bachelorette party, rings, hotel, car. some pages can be combined, and some can be extended.

The first thing that should be done is set a date and book a place within your budget.

the little things in your wedding may be the ones you can afford so go ahaead and start a scrapebook, keep a notebook for ideas and thoughts. This is your special day so the sooner you start the sooner you can have the little things in it. Good luck.

Start calling around and see what there prices are and what you get. It doesn't hurt to start looking a place as soon as possible.
It's great if you start early because it can get frustration finding something nice that you can afford.
