Is your summer wedding just around the corner, and you're feeling like time is flying faster than you expected ? Don’t worry! We’ve compiled the ultimate checklist to ensure you're completely prepared for your Big Day. With these key tips, you can rest assured knowing every detail is covered and you’ll enjoy a magical, stress-free summer celebration.
1. Schedule Your Final Dress and Suit Fittings
One of the most important steps as your wedding day nears is making sure your attire fits like a dream. Book the final dress fitting for yourself and your bridal party, and don't forget the suit fittings for the groom and groomsmen. This ensures there’s enough time for any last-minute tweaks and alterations, so everyone looks and feels their best when walking down the aisle.
2. Pick Up Your Wedding Rings
Don’t wait until the last minute to collect your wedding bands! Head to the jeweller to pick up your rings and take a moment to check the fit + check the engraving (if any added). Ensure they’re polished and ready for the ceremony—after all, these rings are going to symbolise your forever commitment to each other, so make sure they're perfect.
3. Confirm Details with Your Suppliers
It’s time to reach out to all your suppliers to confirm the final arrangements. Double-check everything with your venue, caterers, photographer, florist, entertainment, and any other services you have booked. Make sure they have all the necessary details, such as timings and any special requests. This ensures that all your moving parts will come together seamlessly on the day.
4. Pamper Yourself with Beauty Treatments
As the big day approaches, make sure to indulge in some self-care! Book your hair, makeup, nails, and other beauty treatments well in advance. This goes for both you and your bridal party (and grooms party too). Whether it’s a spa day to de-stress or simply a manicure and pedicure, taking time to relax and pamper yourself will have you feeling fresh and confident for your wedding.
5. Keep an Eye on the Weather Forecast
Summer weddings are beautiful, but the weather can be a bit unpredictable. As the day approaches, start monitoring the forecast to ensure you're prepared. If there's any chance of rain or unexpected heat, consider backup plans like umbrellas for guests, fans to keep cool, or even an indoor option just in case. By being prepared for any weather scenario, you’ll keep the day stress-free.
6. Consider Hiring a On-the-Day-Coordinator
If you haven’t already, now is a great time to think about hiring a on-the-day-wedding-coordinator. A professional coordinator will take care of all the logistics on your Big Day, from managing suppliers to keeping your timeline on track. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in your celebration without worrying about details or potential hiccups.
