Wedding Date and Venue
When should you tie the knot? "Only a spring wedding will do," says Rodgers, and we understand why. Spring has long been considered the most popular season for weddings for a reason: The flowers, the weather, the coming-out-of-hibernation all make these months a time when everyone is ready to celebrate love. As for where you'll host the big event, Rodgers has a few ideas. "A place that's classy, charming ,and chic, like a gallery space with exposed brick, or else a private garden outside."

Bridal Party
As someone many turn to for advice and support, you're considered a "best friend" to many people. Don't be surprised if choosing a bridal party proves more difficult for you than you thought it would be. No matter how large or small you decide to go, one thing is for certain: As one of those people who has an affinity for even numbers for no real season, your bridal party is likely to follow suit. Some call it neurotic, but we think it's an endearing little quirk.

The Wedding Cake
Your cake could pass as a replica of your parents' dessert thanks to decadent white cream and old-school detailing, but it's some type of unique added touch that makes it wholly yours.
