7 things to do as soon as you're engaged, by Alicia from The Dream Styling

Just engaged? Alicia from The Dream Styling walks you through the first seven steps.

You're engaged, congratulations! The sparkly ring is on your finger and you're getting married. Here's a little guide to the first seven steps, from the perfect ring selfie to picturing your dream day. Grab a glass of fizz and let the planning commence.

1. Tell your family (and your best friends), personally, before they hear it on social media. 2. Get a manicure, your hands are about to be the centre of attention. 3. Perfect and post your ring selfie. 4. Celebrate, virtual bubbles or a home date night, however you like; take it all in.

5. Engage-min: get your ring insured (surprisingly inexpensive added to your home insurance) and resized to fit perfectly. 6. Chat about budgets, not romantic, but essential before plans can move forward. 7. Pinterest & Instagram, picture your perfect day, gather inspiration, and start discovering your dream suppliers (just stay guided by your budget).

Getting a feel for your dream day from the very start is essential, it's what drives every decision going forward, from stationery to florals. Lots of love, Alicia x, The Dream Styling.
