Are you in the final stretch, counting down the hours until your wedding? Before you drown yourself fully in the wedding day’s thrill and excitement, there are few things you need to do to tie any loose ends to have a successful day.
So, here are four things that you need to do right before you walk down the aisle.
Check Your Gown and Shoes
The wedding gown is one of the most essential and irreplaceable aspects of your wedding.
You might have had your dress sewn by a designer, or you may have purchased your dress from the Madison James collection, and you will want to ensure that it has no faults and it fits you perfectly. So, try on your complete wedding attire before the D-day to avoid any last-minute adjustments.
Practice moving around in your shoes in all kinds of flooring like carpets and hardwood. If they are slippery or uncomfortable, look for shoe grip pads and inserts to tick them to prevent any accidents.
It will also be smart to have a backup dress and pair of shoes if the chosen ones get ruined before you walk down the aisle.
Have a Designated Person
You will probably want to take time to get ready with your family and bridal team on your big day. It will help if you select a person to be in charge of any last minutes’ logistics and queries.
For instance, if your photographer gets lost or your makeup artist is running late, your designated person can come in handy in ensuring that things run smoothly and as planned.
The person can also be in charge of giving directions to guests and even collecting gifts.
Confirm Details with Your Vendors
There would be nothing more daunting than your vendor showing up late because they misunderstood what you needed and at what time. It will be wise to contact them and go through all the details with each one of your vendors.
For instance, you can confirm with them the venue, the start and finish times, parking information, and the whole day’s itinerary. You do not want to make mistakes on your day.
It will be best to settle any outstanding balances and confirm the overtime costs just in case. Give your vendors your designated person’s contact info before your day.
Also, check and ensure that you do not leave out vendors like your photographer, makeup artist, stylist, videographer, among many others.
Meet with Your Bridesmaids
Your bridal team is your primary support group on your big day. So, it will be best if you meet with them and discuss details to ensure you are all on the same page. Also, confirm the order your bridesmaids will take walking down the aisle.
Let them fit their outfits and have a run-through of what the wedding day will be like, from dressing in the morning to the end of the reception.
You might want to hang out with your girlfriends afterward and do things not related to the wedding so that you spend some quality time before you are officially married.
Conclusion
A wedding day that is not well planned can be overwhelming rather than being a happy and joyous occasion. Fortunately, you can use the given four tips to ensure your day runs smoothly as expected.
