The gown should be wrinkle-free, altered to perfection and absolutely ready for you to put on along with the perfect lingerie and accessories when the D day arrives.

Sadly, there are many who won’t RSVP till the last moment for a major event like a wedding. Once the deadline has passed, it is time to begin emailing or calling those people who haven’t responded and track them down with the final head count. Your planner and caterer need this for finishing up the orders. Not only that, this is also required to finish the seating arrangements. Take help from your maid of honour and parents if it is a big list.
4. Get the Final Details with Vendors
This is the time when you meet up with the vendors or at least you can set up a phone conference. This will help you review all the details and prepare for the big day in the right way.
5. Decide the Hair and the Makeup and Go for Trial
By the last month before the wedding you should have already chosen and booked your beauty spa and beauty experts. That is why, now is the time to finally decide how you will be able to wear the hair and make-up when you are walking down the aisle and also go for a trial for the same.
6. Create the Wedding Day Timelines
You should set a schedule for the wedding day as well as the wedding weekend and share it with the vendors, planner, bridal party and family. You should include the activity, time and who are attending and who are responsible for what. You should clearly establish when the makeup and hair should begin, when the photographer arrives and everything else to ensure that the day goes in a smooth manner.
7. Delegate the Tasks
The bride happens to be the VIP on her wedding day. She should be able to breathe free and enjoy the wedding functions to the core.
