Welcome to an incredibly exciting chapter, filled with dreams of your perfect day, the joy of celebrating with loved ones, and the promise of a beautiful future together. But let’s be honest, amidst all that wonderful anticipation, the thought of actually planning your wedding in Austin can sometimes feel… well, a little overwhelming.
If you’re wondering, ‘Where do you even begin? What needs to be done when? How do I keep track of every detail, from the big-picture vision to the tiniest, thoughtful touches, all while staying calm and truly enjoying this precious season?’ – you’re not alone.
That’s precisely why we, at Olive & Eden Weddings, poured our hearts, experience, and passion for seamless, intentional celebrations into creating our signature Olive & Eden Wedding Roadmap. We believe planning your Austin wedding should be as beautiful and joy-filled as the day itself. This comprehensive checklist is your trusted companion and step-by-step guide, designed to take the guesswork out of planning and help you navigate each stage with grace and ease. Our philosophy is rooted in bringing clarity, calm, and confidence to your planning process, ensuring you can focus on what’s most meaningful to you as you prepare for your marriage and be fully present in every moment.
What’s Inside Your Free Wedding Roadmap?
Our Roadmap isn’t just another generic list; it’s a thoughtfully structured guide distilled from our experience planning beautiful, stress-free Austin weddings. It’s divided into intentional phases, mirroring how we approach planning with our own wonderful couples, ensuring nothing is overlooked. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find inside to help you plan your Austin wedding with clarity and confidence:
Phase One: Planning (9-12+ Months Out)
(As seen on pages 6-7 of the Roadmap)
This is where your incredible wedding journey begins. You’ll lay the groundwork for a celebration that truly reflects you. Key first steps inside the Roadmap include:
- Defining Your Wedding Vision, Goals, and Style: We guide you on discussing priorities with your partner – what do you want to remember most? (See our ‘Olive & Eden Planning Tips’ on page 7 for more on this!)
- Setting Your Wedding Budget: Crucial for making informed decisions. Our tips help you think about how much you’re comfortable spending.
- Researching & Booking Key Vendors: This includes your Austin wedding venue (we remind you to check availability and schedule tours!), and considering if a wedding planner or coordinator in Austin is right for you (Our Full Planning & Design services can expertly guide you through vendor selection and contract negotiation from day one!).
Phase Two: Design & Details (4-9 Months Out)
(As seen on pages 8-9 of the Roadmap)
With foundational decisions made, it’s time to bring your unique vision to life! This is where the aesthetic and experiential details start to shine. The Roadmap will walk you through:
- Ordering Your Wedding Dress: A significant and exciting milestone!
- Building Your Wedding Website & Sending Save-the-Dates: Essential for guest communication, especially for Austin weddings that might involve travel for some guests.
- Researching Design Elements: From stationery designers to rentals (tables, chairs, linens) and considering your floral designs (Need help translating your vision into a cohesive design? Our Partial Planning service offers expert design guidance.).
And that’s just the start! This phase also covers finalizing your guest list, scheduling engagement photos, and much more to make your wedding uniquely you.
Phase Three: Execution (2-4 Months Out – Wedding Day)
(As seen on pages 10-11 of the Roadmap)
You’ve planned, you’ve dreamed, and now it’s time to bring it all together for a seamless celebration. This final phase in the Roadmap helps you tie up loose ends:
- Sending Wedding Invitations: The official call to celebrate!
- Finalizing Your Dessert Plan, Flavors, and Attending Tastings: Delicious decisions!
- Confirming Details with All Your Vendors: This is where wedding management or month-of coordination becomes invaluable (Our Wedding Management service specializes in taking over these final confirmations, creating detailed timelines, and ensuring a flawless wedding day execution.).
Plus, vital steps like securing your marriage license, writing your vows, and preparing for your wedding week.
And that’s just a small taste! The full Olive & Eden Wedding Roadmap PDF dives deeper into each timeline, includes our exclusive planning tips, and even covers your Wedding Week and Post-Wedding to-dos to ensure a smooth and joyful experience from ‘Yes’ to ‘I Do’ and beyond.
