From the bride and groom to all in attendance, everyone loves a good wedding. But to put on a good wedding, you have to be a great planner. Wedding planning is exhausting, we know. There's so much to do, order, reserve, and buy. That's exactly why we did a little research and made a timeline for your wedding checklist. It's a long list, but you don't have to incorporate everything on it into your wedding. We just thought of as much as we could!
