I am a wedding planner and there are a couple of questions. Are your parents paying for the wedding? Is his family going to help. The first thing you need to sit down and do is plan a budget. There are a lot of tools out there that can help, the one I tell people to go to is: http://nytimes.theknot.com/pl_budget.cgi
A lot of brides choose either their favorite color, or colors that go with the time of year (spring: pinks, purple, white; summer: red, bright pink, dark purple; fall: red, orange, yellow; winter: white, ice blue, red, green)
The number of attendants at a wedding just depend. It is good to have a maid of honor and a best man, any above that is up to your discretion.
Hope this helps. You can e-mail me at aweddingyourway@yahoo.com

Some good wedding sites are www.bride.com and www.theknot.com
These sites will give you some good ideas. For my wedding we're getting married in this old creepy mansion, my colors are ivory, dark purple, dark brown and gold, and I only have two bridesmaids (I didn't want a big wedding party, the bigger it is, the more drama you get!)
I'm not going to rant on you that you're too young to get married. As long as you can afford it financially, mentally, and emotionally, then you go girl. What I would recommend is getting into premarital counseling...trust me, it helps (there's no hidden secrets or surprises when you get married this way). Also, open up a savings account strictly for your wedding expenses. Even if you don't end up using it all (or any of it) for your wedding, it's always nice to have extra money saved up.
Good luck to you honey, God Bless :)

I have been with the same guy since I was 15. I am now 22 and we just got married. There is no reason to rush things! You can love each other and be in a committed relationship without being married! So wait a while. Trust me you still have a lot of growing up to do and some people grow up together and some people grow apart. I would at least wait untill you are 20.

Aren't you a little young to be planning a wedding? Sixteen? YOu are a baby. Your mother allowed you to become engaged? Your mother should have her head examined allowing you to become engaged. You should be enjoying your school years, having fun with your friends, not engaged and planning a wedding. You are way too you and immature to get married. You are in love with the thrill of getting married, the gown, the reception etc., but what follows will be real life and personally no 16 year old is prepared for married life. Rethink your decision of planning a wedding and also rethink being engaged.

Congratulations!!Don't listen to the negative advice about your age.I was 16 when I got married & that was almost 5 years ago.Age doesnt really matter as long as you know that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person.Just make sure that this is what you want to do before you go through with it,It is a big step.I would also advise you to talk to your parents & his parents.I had a lot of support from both sides or I wouldn't have went through with it.Listen to their advice.They know what they are talking about..As to what are the best colors,I'd would say to use your favorite colors,or your fiance's favorite colors.You can have as many or as few people as you want in your wedding too..Good luck!I wish you both the best..

Ok, you can't even consider getting married until you are a legal adult.
Do your parents know you're "engaged?" Have the agreed to sign a legal consent form to allow you to marry underage?
You need to ask yourself those questions first.
Where are you going to live? How are you going to support yourselves? What is your income level? Will you be able to attend school and work to pay your bills? Do you even have a drivers' license to get yourself to work? How about a car? And auto insurance? Are you even considering college? How are you going to pay for it?
There's a lot more to being married than just wearing a pretty dress and a shiny ring. A wedding is one day. A marriage is a life-long committment. I don't want to sound like a condescending adult, but at sixteen, you haven't even lived yet.
Gratuate high school, go to college and THEN worry about settling down.

Ok, so he may be a wonderful man but what are you thinking? You shouldn't be thinking about getting married yet. You are just a kid. If I were you, I would wait until I was 18 at least to even think about it. You can't get married until then anyway. I would definitely give it some time and figure out if this "wonderful man" is really the one you want to spend your life with.

Don't sweat the people who keep telling you not to get married. Personally, I also think you're way too young to get married, but it's not up to me, or anyone else for that matter.
Don't stress, have a long engagement. Short engagements are fine, but what's the hurry? You know you love each other, a piece of paper isn't going to change that. This will give you plenty of time to plan, with lots of time to change your mind on details (colors, decorations, your dress, etc.) and extra time to save money (or for your parents to save money) so that you can have the wedding of your dreams instead of cutting corners.
Here are some websites that have helped me out immensely ...

You do not need to be planning a wedding you need to be planning your prom and graduation parties right now. Don't worry about a wedding dress but worry about a prom dress. Wait until you are mature enough and out of school to get married.

You are just a child.
You should be worrying about school, friends, dating, and other fun things.
You will have plenty of time to plan/get married.
