If you just got engaged in Richmond, it might feel If you just got engaged in Richmond, it might feel like you have plenty of time—but the reality is, the best vendors are often booked 9–18 months in advance.

Here’s where couples run into issues:

Your venue sets your date… and most of the popular ones are gone before you even start touring.

Your photographer & videographer? The ones whose work you love are usually the first to go.

Florists, planners, and entertainment? Same story—especially during peak wedding season.

And the biggest regret we hear?

“I wish we started earlier.”

The couples who have the smoothest planning experience aren’t necessarily the most organized, they just booked their key vendors early.

So if you’re newly engaged, take this as your sign 👀
Start now, even if it feels “too early.”

Save this for later—you’ll thank yourself 💍
You said you wanted to meet new people… this is yo You said you wanted to meet new people… this is your sign 👀
