A: Attire – The search for the perfect dress is a universal dilemma among brides, but there are other forms of attire to think about as well.
You'll need to discuss the groom's and groomsmen's outfits, the bridesmaid's dresses, (and remember that the maid of honor and best man's outfits are usually slightly different from the rest of the bridal party) the Mother of the bride's dress, and the dress for the flower girl.
B: Budgeting – Budgeting is both the most important and the most overlooked facet of wedding planning. Most weddings go over budget, but this can easily be avoided with careful organization.

Most brides get themselves into trouble because they don't realize all the costs associated with a wedding, and therefore don't factor them into their budget.
C: Catering – You're going to need a good caterer for at least one of your wedding-related events, so it's important to find someone you like. Try them out for a smaller event like your engagement party. Then, if you had a good experience, hire them for the wedding. Great food is important to a great party, so be sure to hire someone you like and feel comfortable with.
D: Décor – Dreaming about colors, aisle runners, balloons, centerpieces and the rest of your wedding decorations can be a ton of fun, but only if you have an efficient way to organize them.
The last thing you want is a notebook full of tons great ideas that don't go together. Make sure you have an Ideas and Inspiration Board, and try to visualize all your ideas before you bring them to life.
E: Etiquette – There's nothing like a wedding to cause confrontation. And even with more and more couples moving away from tradition, most wedding etiquette is still applicable. Therefore we definitely recommend brushing up on your wedding etiquette. There are plenty of great etiquette books out there, but be careful about the advice you get off of the Internet; not everyone is an expert.
F: Flowers – Flowers are a huge part of most weddings – and an expensive one. You can cut down on expenses (and up your wedding's eco-friendly factor) by setting your wedding date during a time when the flowers you want will be in season. There are plenty of florists who offer in-season local options for floral décor.
G: Guest List – The guest list will be one of the first things you'll tackle in your wedding planning. It's important to have a solid guest list for many reasons, but the first and most important is its effect on your budget. More guests equal more money. More guests will require a bigger venue, more table rentals, more centerpieces, more expensive catering, and so on and so fourth.
H: Honeymoon – Think relaxing. After months of wedding planning, you and your new spouse are going to need some serious relaxation. Don't plan every second of every day. Give yourselves a little time to just enjoy each other's company.
I: Internet – There are so many wedding resources on the web these days that even the most non-crafty bride can find ways to DIY. But the abundance of wedding sites can get a little overwhelming. We say set up some Google alerts for the wedding terms that your interested in, and let the information come to you!
J: Jewelry – Once you've found your dress, the next step is to style it up with jewelry, shoes, and accessories. Remember that the jewelry you wore on your wedding day is more likely to be handed down and worn by your daughter than your dress is, so chose something that's reflective of your personality and will be a true keepsake for your children.
K: Knight in Shining Armor – Remember him? Yes, it's easy to loose sight of what's really important when the wedding planning starts to consume your every thought. Every once and a while, take a moment to pause and reflect on the wonderful man you're about to marry. It will bring you back to center and help you maintain perspective throughout the planning process.
L: Location – Picking the right location for your wedding can be quite a process. You may already have a location in mind, but there are numerous questions to consider when deciding. Does the ven
ue have enough parking? Restrooms? Handicap accessibility? Is it too far away from the guest's hotel to expect them to drive back and fourth?
M: Music – From choosing a DJ to picking out the song for your father-daughter dance, music will be an integral part of your wedding. You'll need music for both the ceremony and reception. Luckily, today we have tons of options: CD's, a live band, iPod play lists and so on.
N: Name Change – Not every bride takes her spouse's last name, but 88.9% of brides still plan to make the shift. Check this out for the skinny on changing your name.
