How to plan your entire wedding by following one simple system, even while working full-time, without losing the joy of being engaged.
You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need your next step.
You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need your next step.


"Mom, full-time working woman & creator of Wedding Plans, With Love. I built this system while planning my daughter's wedding. Now it's yours."
I'm a mom, I work full-time, and I'm not a professional wedding planner. I'm someone who's been exactly where you are right now.
When my daughter got engaged, we were thrilled... and then completely overwhelmed by:
Venues
budgets
guest lists
vendors
family opinions
Everything felt urgent and nothing felt clear. We had Pinterest boards, screenshots, notes apps and spreadsheets, and none of them talked to each other.
So I did what moms do: I made it make sense.
I built one binder that held everything in the right order, so we always knew our next step. It gave us our time back and let us actually enjoy being engaged.
That binder became Wedding Plans, With Love. I'm sharing it so you can skip the overwhelm and get back to the exciting part.

For the newly engaged who don't know where to begin. This kit shows you exactly what to decide first, so everything after it gets easier.
