Mistakes to avoid when planning your wedding

Wedding planning can be hard, especially when you’re limited for time. I had less than six months to prepare and I did overlook a few minor details. These tips are based on my experience and might help you avoid a few last minute moments of panic!

Signature Scent
I forgot to pack my perfume on my wedding day and the morning of it felt like such a big deal. All was well in the end, my best friends husband did a quick shopping trip and dropped it off. 

Food and Drinks
Yeah duh, but up until a few days before I hadn’t thought about the hours before the wedding, especially for the ladies who had a 7am call time. The boys got ready at our cabin for the night so they had a bbq and of course pre-wedding beers. For the girls we brought lots of breadsticks, deli meats and cheese and snacked throughout the day. 

Photo list
Our photographer was fantastic but I wish I’d really thought about what photos I wanted. My brother and sister were both in the bridal party and I don’t have a single photo of just the three of us on our own. 

Confirm everything
Our vendors were great but there was a misunderstanding with the venue. I thought I’d made it clear, and paid for, a 12am finish time. They said 11pm but fortunately were happy on the night to be paid a bit extra to keep things going the extra hour. 

Most importantly, stop and enjoy. It all goes so quickly and in the grand scheme of things it is really just one day. Take it as it comes and soak in every moment.
