After the weekend was over and our engagement set in, it was time to get cracking on planning! I knew we didn't want to wait too long to get married, and with St. John's Church being very important to us, I knew I needed to get in contact with them ASAP - especially since we are not in Omaha. We didn't have a specific time frame in mind for the wedding, so we waited to see what was available at the church to decide on a date. Once we confirmed that the date we had chosen worked for both sides of the family, we moved forward with the church!
Next up was the reception venue! We wanted a venue that would be easy and convenient for out-of-town guests. We chose Hilton Omaha because it is close to the church and now our guests won't have to drive around Omaha to get from one location to the next. But what I learned was that venues book up very quickly, so if you have a specific time frame in mind, make sure you get on it as soon as possible! Once the venues have been selected, the theme, decor and colors start to fall into place!
