If you’re getting married soon, you might be full of excitement about all the wedding shopping you’ve got to do. Have you worked out your budget yet? Even if you’re following tradition and letting your Dad pay for it, it’s a good idea to discuss the bottom figure with your husband-to-be. After all, this is his wedding too, so you’re buying for two (plus guests!)
One thing you’re probably not going to do together is shop for your wedding dress. However, there are no traditions preventing you from shopping for all the other outfits as a couple. This could be quite helpful for you as you’ll be able to gauge what styles he likes. This might be good for figuring out which bridal outfit you should pick too!

One of the first things you’re likely to pick out is the rings. It’s often a good idea to pop into your local mall and check out the jewelry stores. You can also find more men’s wedding bands here: http://weddingbandsforboth.
Whether your groom is into flowers or not, he’ll have a good idea which flowers he likes. This is especially important when you’re picking the buttonholes and table decorations. He might have a better idea which flowers his mother might like for her outfit as well. If he’s not really into flowers, ask him what kind of decorations he might prefer. Remember, you have a whole venue to prepare, so his help is very much needed!
Do you have any ideas in mind for your arrival at the ceremony? You might want to choose the car yourself, but if you’re both going to ride in it on the way back, then your groom’s input could be a good idea. Of course, if the ideas are very different, you might have to compromise! Perhaps you could order two cars? This would depend on your budget, but it’s a good way for you both to get what you want.
Would you be comfortable with letting him make big purchase decisions for the wedding? Many brides enjoy taking on all the wedding planning themselves. But if you’re uncomfortable with the idea of someone else taking the reins, maybe he is too. Sharing the decision-making could help you both get exactly what you want for your big day. This is especially true when it comes to the cake. Eating a slice together is a big part of the wedding celebration. Make sure it’s one you can both enjoy!
Stress at this time is very common, and it can even lead to the odd spat with your partner. If you’re both working toward the common goal of wedding planning, then you’ll both know when things are getting a little tough. Teamwork here is, after all, great practice for married life!
