Dont try to keep up with everyone else. for example- Just because someone else had slipper baskets doesnt mean you need them also.

Tip # 1
The last few weeks before the wedding are crazy .Make a to do list for the full 2 weeks before with little tasks each day. It will be less overwhelming and you will ensure you won't forget anything.

Go for makeup and hair trials early because the popular vendors book quickly

Tip # 2 Proper Prior Planning Avoids Wedding Mishaps
I spent a lot of time the weeks for the wedding confirming with vendors and expressing in written form my expectations as far as what pictures I wanted and how I wanted things set up. Since it was in writing they can't say they didn't know or that they forgot.

Tip #3
Roll with the punches
The day of your wedding don't stress it all balances out. Something you notice as a disaster probably won't even be noticed by your guest. Focus on your DH and enjoy the moment is goes by way to fast to stress about whether the flowers are the wrong shade of pink.

Tip #5
Have a go to person
It could by a DOC or a MOH. I gave my sister all the key contact names for each vendor along with phone numbers.

Your bustle will break, someone will step on your dress. Who cares?! My bustle was broken 10 minutes after I was bustled. The bridal attendant saftely pinned it and I went back to partying. Don't let minor dress mishap ruin your night

Get those oil absorbing make up sheets. They keep you from being shinny in your pictures

if you have a bad feeling or vibe about a vendor but cant put ur finger on what exactly bothers u but logistically its best option - dont use that vendor, trust ur instinct and look for someone u will trust more

Don't book your vendors too far in advance! If you're like me, you'll change your mind 10x before the actual wedding day!
