BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Californer -- Whether you've just gotten engaged & absolutely can not wait to say "I do," have been engaged for years and are helplessly behind on making plans, or are somewhere in between, you can pull off a wedding in 3 months or less.

3 Months To Go: The Important Stuff First

Let's start by setting the record straight. Think about how flexible you'll need to be if you intend for this to function in 3 months. Likely, the most important tasks you'll want to complete during the first month upon getting engaged might be the ones that require the most preparation. You'll have to finish all these things in the first month.

Pick a preferred date.

Knowing for sure if you wish to get married is a big help. If you want to book the location and the necessary services, you may have to be versatile with the date. The venue's availability and the time of year you plan to tie the knot will play significant roles in this.

Get your engagement pictures taken.

Professional photographs of your engagement is highly recommended. The pictures will serve as a beautiful keepsake, and you'll probably want to feature them on your wedding website and invitations. A friend with a smartphone and a trip to the park would be another option for low-cost photography. You should take pictures because you'll want to remember this exciting time in your life.

Decide on your wedding budget.

Since weddings tend to be so expensive in Los Angeles, it's easy for costs to get out of hand quickly. Before moving forward with the rest of the wedding planning, make sure you and your future spouse have time to sit down and discuss and agree on a wedding budget. Remember that last-minute purchases often cost more than planned, so it pays to investigate your options ahead of time.

Settle on your guest list

Take this step before looking for a location for the event. It will help you determine how much room you'll need. You should have no trouble finding a suitable place to accommodate your guests if your wedding is scheduled for the off-season. You may consider compromising on a relatively small visitor list to have more flexibility with the available media outlets.
