The hustle + bustle of your big day will be so exciting, but it’s important to not let the little details slip through the cracks! The day can be a whirlwind, so being prepared will make your wedding day less stressful. We’re pulling together a few tips to help you create your bridal checklist!

1 // HAVE AN EMERGENCY WEDDING DAY KIT

Have a little bag packed with supplies in case of a tear or stain! Include a sewing kit, makeup remover, safety pins, band-aids, a stain remover pen, and deodorant.

2 // IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

The small, intimate moments make some of the prettiest photos that help tell the story of your wedding day! Not only do accessories complete your bridal look, they are perfect for these detail shots as well. Think veil, jewelry, perfume, shoes, your invitation suite, a nice hanger, etc.

3 // TALK TO YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Your photographer will of course get all the key shots, but if there’s something special to you that you want photos of, don’t assume the photographer already knows! Make sure to include it in discussions leading up to the wedding so it is included in their shot list.

4 // DON’T FORGET TO SNACK ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

You’ll probably be overwhelmed with emotion on your big day, so it’s easy to forget to eat! Remember to pack a few snacks so you don’t get too exhausted + are ready to celebrate!

5 // TIMING IS EVERYTHING

Keep everyone on the same page! This will ensure you, as well as your bridal party, guests + vendors, know where to be and when – from the moment you sit down for glam to your exit at the end of the night.
