Wedding binder update time, lovelies!
It has been about 5 months since I first revealed my planning binder, May I just add that this has been a serious life saver when it comes to talking wedding? It is so simple to just be able to pull out my binder with all the things that inspire me and all the ideas I would like to try and just show anyone who is interested, or, maybe not interested in the slightest bit, (I feel like I should hashtag this SorryNotSorry.)
Willing or not, this binder sure is a conversation starter and a wonderful example of how organization can make the planning experience so much easier.
Since October, I have added many more categories and items that are actually extremely important to this process, for me. But this honestly depends on who you are and what you find to be the most important aspects of your wedding.
So, now for some inspiration for you brides-to-be!
