Your journey starts when you get that ring, say yes, and start planning your wedding.
But damn, you've never planned a wedding and you know there is a lot riding on this day.
YOU JUMP ONLINE TO START PLANNING AND THEN YOU REALIZE-
IT'S THE BEGINNING OF A JOURNEY
You’re worried about all the nitty-gritty details and moving parts that you need to keep track of, and honestly, you aren’t even sure what they are (and how would you, you’ve never done this before)...
If any of this has you nodding your head “yes,” you’re in the right place!
You’re spending a lot of time Googling all your questions and feel like you’ve gotten nowhere. There’s a good chance you’re even more confused than when you started. You’re wondering if it’s going to be this complicated for the rest of your planning.
You like processes that make your life easier and make you feel confident that you are working through all the right steps (and in the right order). But you haven’t quite figured that out because you’ve never done this before!
You’ve Googled “how to plan a wedding” once or twice (or… a million times). No shame. You’re not alone… there’s a reason why it’s a top 5 most Googled wedding search.
who were so excited to plan their own weddings but…
Maybe you’re like so many
of the brides I’ve worked with
If only wedding planners weren't so freaking expensive because it would be nice to have the guidance.
As you start diving into planning you are feeling a tad bit overwhelmed by the whole planning process and realize it’s a little more work than you expected.

I’ve provided a printable/editable course outline for you to start your Bridal Method bible, so to speak. The choice is yours, but you don’t need a printer. You could print all the sheets and create your own binder, or just edit the course along the way on your computer or tablet and keep everything digital. Whatever works best for you.
DO I NEED A PRINTER TO USE THE CHECKLISTS AND FORMS?
Forever, ….but let’s hope you don’t need it that long! TBM is a digital download, once you purchase you will have your own copy sitting pretty on your desktop for the duration of your planning.
How long do I have access to The Bridal Method?
TBM is used to it's fullest if you are nearly engaged or have been planning for 3-months or less. My experience has taught me that there are so many details that brides tend to overlook in their excitement and only realize much later that they need help.
I’VE BEEN PLANNING FOR A FEW MONTHS AND HAVE A FEW DETAILS CHECKED OFF MY LIST-CAN THE BRIDAL METHOD STILL HELP?
This is such a great question! The number one thing is that there isn’t anything exactly like this out there at this time. The Bridal Method offers 16 sections that are packed with all the detail I could pull out of my planner brain. My resource really dives into the nitty gritty of planning with so much detail and guidance.
I have given newly engaged couples access to my entire planning process from beginning to end, step-by-step to eliminate overwhelm and confusion. I don’t just focus on the main vendors to book, I delve into all the smaller details like creating floor plans and air tight timelines, creating ceremony processionals, how to avoid bridal party and mother of the bride drama, and literally so much more. I thought about all of the details that my clients deal with when planning and included it. Continue Reading
What makes you different from any other planning resources?
I DON'T LIVE IN THE U.S, IS TBM RIGHT FOR ME?
This is one of the biggest questions that I get. TBM is for anyone planning in any state inside the US.
back to all FAQ
Plus, I am a professional wedding planner by trade. I do this literally every single day. Some of the templates and guides you’ll find searching Google are not written by planners. And this scares the heck out of me for all the brides out there because they can sometimes do more harm than good based upon what I’ve seen.
Large wedding sites do not provide cohesive planning. It’s a mix of a million ways you could plan your wedding and it gets so darn confusing! I’ve gotten a lot of clients because of this honestly, they get overwhelmed by what they find online and need help. So now, that help is packaged into The Bridal Method. TBM is written in a way that you can easily follow along and plan in steps outlined by one person, so you aren’t getting a mix of information and timelines are crystal clear.
