Just engaged? Congratulations! Once the excitement’s settled in, the champagne’s been drunk and the engagement ring has been posted, you might be wondering - what’s next? What should you do now that you’re newly engaged? You know you need to start planning the wedding, but there’s a lot to do. What should you do first?

Does an engagement ring have to be a diamond? Absolutely not. Maybe you’ve never pictured yourself as a traditional bride. Or maybe you’re just not into diamonds. If you’re looking for a unique or less expensive alternative, a gemstone engagement ring could be the perfect choice for you.

Planning a wedding should be easy. I mean, it’s just a big party, right? A big party where you happen to get married. Ok - so it’s kind of a big deal! You need to figure out a venue, food, music. Then there’s vendors, decorations and clothes. If you’re not hiring a planner, you’ll need to figure it all out on your own.
