The Wedding Checklist
We call this the bride's checklist. Why? because it's actually the bride who do all the planning. Well of course, this is gonna be her wedding day...and it should be perfect. All eyes will be on hers, her make-up, her wedding gown and her groom. But browse our checklist and share each others thoughts. You'll be surprised that there are a lot of things the two of you should do. Remember to make this day very special, if not perfect. The planning process is much easier if you first think of a wedding theme or a motiff. This will help you focus, and not be tempted by all the wonderful things you can see and think of for your wedding day. You don't wanna make your wedding a circus, do you. So please do not try to incorporate all the beautiful stuff on your big day. Because it simply won't work.

Dear bride...take time to rest. It's important to delegate and give assignments to your wedding attendants, just to make sure you will not forget anything. Designate who will handle payments for the vendors, like: choir, florist, etc. Assign who will assists your guests to their seats. Work with your bridesmaids, that's their main task - to help you be beautiful on your big day and not to look so stressed.. Enjoy your wedding day - do not expect everything to be perfect, because there is no such thing.
