1. Accessories<\/h3>\n

Something borrowed, something blue \u2014 old or new, your accessories are the icing on top of your wedding attire<\/a>. And, sometimes, they\u2019re the ultimate sidekicks.<\/p>\n

Whether you are walking in grass, dirt, on rocks or concrete- heel stoppers will keep you and your bridesmaids from ruining your heels and walking off balanced. These can be purchased online for a great price. You will also want to be sure to bring ALL your accessories possibly wanted, whether for just pictures or to actually wear down the aisle.<\/p>\n

Especially, do not forget the ring box!<\/p>\n

2. Morning-Of Outfit & Overnight Bag<\/h3>\n

You already know what you\u2019ll be wearing<\/a> during the culminating event \u2014 hopefully! \u2014 but do you know what you\u2019re wearing before and after?<\/p>\n

As crazy as this sounds, be sure to pack a loose tank top or robe for the morning of your wedding. It is recommended not to put on a fitted Bra during the day, as to avoid bra lines on your skin that will be visible in pictures. Also, in case you leave the reception and go straight to a hotel for your wedding night, be sure that your point of contact has placed your overnight bag in your get-away vehicle.<\/p>\n

You do not want to end up at the hotel with your wedding dress being the ONLY thing to wear the next day at check-out.<\/p>\n

3. Tips & Gifts<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s true, this day is all about you\u2026 But don\u2019t forget about the creative professionals<\/a> who have made your scintillating celebration possible.<\/p>\n

Be sure to know the proper vendor tip percentages. Certain vendor categories should be tipped more than others, such as a planner, photographer and videographer. Research or speak to a wedding coordinator about the proper tipping etiquette. Place tips in labeled envelopes to be given to vendors on the wedding day.<\/p>\n

Be prepared to give gifts to your wedding party, as well as gifts for your parents. Make it something special and memorable.<\/p>\n

4. Wedding Stationery<\/h3>\n

Let’s get one thing straight: You don\u2019t have to be an avid scrapbooker for this one! You should remember to snag a copy of your paper goods<\/a> regardless of your hobbies.<\/p>\n

Be sure to keep an extra set of all your stationery, such as an addressed envelope, invitation, RSVP, save the date, program, etc. The photographer will take detailed shots using these stationary items.<\/p>\n

You would be surprised how beautiful these pictures can be when combined with your accessories, shoes, rings, veil, etc.<\/p>\n

5. Meals<\/h3>\n

This one probably belongs in the #1 spot. Because, let\u2019s be real, nothing \u2014 not even your wedding day \u2014 is fun when you\u2019re hungry, frazzled, and running on fumes.<\/p>\n

Eat breakfast. This sounds ridiculous, but believe me- you will be too busy and will forget to eat something the morning of. As the center of attention, you will be busy getting hair and makeup, taking photos, laughing with your bridesmaids, and completely forgetting to eat and drink something. Nobody wants you to pass out while walking down the aisle.<\/p>\n

Just eat something and be sure to stay hydrated. Also, make note of all vendors who require vendor meals. This information should be listed within their contract. If you have hired a coordinator, he or she will let you know the total vendor meals to include in your final count for the caterer.<\/p>\n
