You’re Engaged! Do These 4 Steps Right Away.

You’re engaged!  Congratulations!  But now what?  Who do you tell and when?  What tasks should you complete first?  What venue should you choose?  These are all relevant questions.  We’ve put together the first few important steps of what to do after you’ve gotten engaged.

Spread The News

As soon as that ring is on your finger, you will want to let EVERYONE know.  But first, we would recommend taking some time to soak in the “just got engaged” feeling.  Enjoy each other!  You’ll be incredibly busy planning your wedding for the next several months.

The next step would be to notify your parents and immediate family first.  Definitely do not text them!  Give them a call or even better, FaceTime them so you can see their reactions.  Next comes your extended family and friends and then you can make the announcement on social media.

Social media is the greatest way to let everyone else know about the wonderful news.  Take a picture of you and your fiancé or take a ring selfie.  Change your status, and make it Facebook official!

Pick A Date

The easiest way to start narrowing down a date is to first decide on what season you would like to be married.  Do you love the winter season that brings along with it magical holiday themes and snowy weather?  Would you prefer a fall wedding with crisp autumn air?

Dates can book up fast, especially for the more popular dates or seasons.  We would recommend picking a few dates that you would love in case the venue you’ve chosen is booked.  That way you’ll have the next best option to pick from.

Get Inspired

Sit down together and start discussing what you both would like your wedding to look like.  Start by going to Pinterest and do a simple search for “weddings”.  There are boundless wedding images and ideas out there, and you may discover something that you would have never thought of before, like getting married at a vineyard!  Create a Pinterest account and start pinning away!  If you see something you love, like table décor, pin it; even if you’ve already pinned 10 other table décor images.  Now is the time to get ideas and explore wedding options.  After a while, your style will become clear.

Organize

There are a lot of tasks to complete and decisions to make when planning a wedding.  Schedule engagement photos, look at venues,  contact vendors, and so on.  The best thing you can do is start creating lists and get organized.  While you may start to stress at just the sheer thought of everything you need to get done, there are a lot of great tools out there to help you along the way.  For example, The Knot has a wedding planner app as well as a personalized wedding checklist that will surely help you stay on top of your to-dos.

While this is only the top four steps to follow after getting engaged, once you’ve got them complete, you will be well equipped to dive deeper into your wedding planning.  You’ll want to look your best on your wedding day.  Belmeade Men’s Wear has styles and colors for everyone from “big and tall” to ringbearer small!  You can choose Belmeade’s direct delivery option to have your outfits shipped right to the guys’ door anywhere in the continental United States.  If you have questions, just let us know by using the form below.  Thank you for shopping Belmeade!

    Belmeade has Your Colors for a Perfect Fall Wedding

    MOST POPULAR FALL WEDDING COLORS FOR 2020

    September 30, 2020

    With cooler temperatures, picturesque foliage and transitional clothing, what’s not to like.  Pair those items with the warm tones and rich colors that are popular during fall, and it’s every bride’s dream.  But what colors should you incorporate into your décor, bridesmaids’ dresses and formal wear? Here are some of the most popular fall wedding colors for 2020.

     

    Green and Orange

    Incorporate nature into your wedding with green and orange. Take a cue from the deep orange and red tones in the changing trees.  Burnt orange accents in your bouquets and table decorations are a great way to pay homage to the great outdoors.  You can even incorporate a deep orange signature cocktail for guests to enjoy.  Use greenery accents at your ceremony and consider serving pistachio ice cream at the reception for a truly unique touch.

    Grey and Purple

    This rich color scheme is a great choice for fall weddings.  Imagine your groomsmen in an elegant steel grey ensemble with a purple tie as an accent.  Use deep purple accents in your linens, table settings, and invitations.  And cover each table with a rich grey tablecloth and crystal accents.  You can’t go wrong with this regal combo.

    Navy and Dusty Rose

    Navy and dusty rose are getting lots of attention this fall for their romantic look and feel.  Try pairing navy bridesmaid dresses with a bouquet filled with dusty rose and white flowers.  For the men, they’ll look amazing in a fitted navy suit, dusty rose tie, and chestnut colored shoes.  Navy can be seen as masculine while dusty rose is more feminine, making the two a perfect pair! This color palette is all about the romance.

     

    Burgundy and Black

    An elegant, evening wedding calls for rich, dark tones.  Choose a classic black bridesmaid’s dress for the ladies.  Adding the rich burgundy shade into the mix allows this duo to be a chic option.  Outfit your groomsmen in Belmeade’s burgundy coat with black ties to coordinate with the bridesmaids.  You can accent the decor with hints of gold to help make the look more polished.

    Mustard Yellow and Red

    Can’t decide between a summer or fall wedding?  With these two colors, you can get the best of both worlds!  We love these colors with elegant black tuxedos.  Accent the venue with yellow sunflowers and red berries. And for a delicious addition, incorporate a chocolate fountain with strawberries and pineapple pieces for your guests with a sweet tooth.

     

    Emerald and Wine

    You may think that green and red are only for the holidays, but think again!  For fall months, pairing jewel tones such as wine and emerald green together will have you feeling luxurious. Choose emerald dresses and accent their attire with bouquets filled with wine colored ranunculus and small white roses. For the men, pair their suit or tuxedo with wine colored neck wear.  And for a fun touch, opt for red velvet cupcakes over a traditional cake.
