Ladies: 5 must-dos for a great wedding

Towards your wedding day, you may either start to feel confident that all is set for smooth ride or worry that something may just fall apart at the last minute.

Of course, if you are organised, you would have a checklist which you’d go through over and over again. Still, sometimes you get too concerned with the big things – food, venue, entertainment – that you forget the little things. Never mind, we are here to help. Here is a list of the little things you need to do to make your wedding not only goes smoothly but guarantee you have a good time and keep smiling for the cameras.

1. Eat something

A light breakfast would help a lot. Sometimes, couple get so caught up in that activities that they forget to eat even at the reception and then there is no more food. Have someone pack you some food for later. Your bridesmaid or best man should also have a light snack handy in case you start to get hungry right after the ceremony and before the reception. We don’t want you fainting or ruining your pictures with a hunger frown.

2. Have an emergency makeup kit handy

In between sharing a kiss after your wedding vows and then for pictures, there are chances that your make up may get ruined. If you hired a professional make-up artist, don’t worry, she has got you covered. Else, let your bridemaids keep a make-up bag -including wipes and handkerchiefs – on hand for you.

3.  Get a back-up photographer or videographer

Some wedding photographers are God’s alone to judge. You sometimes hear stories of couples who have to retake your wedding photos months after the wedding thanks to some inept photographer. To be on the safe side, get a relative or friend to also take pictures so that you don’t end up disappointed at the end of the day. And when your photographer does come true you would have different angles to the day, no?

4. Keep a change of shoes close by

Especially if your wore heels. You can change to a nice pair of flat shoes so that your feet don’t end up hating you at the end of the day.

5. Make sure you have a tampons or sanitary towel in a purse somewhere

You never know, your period may just decide to come early and then your white wedding gown will become your worst enemy.
