    Prepare your (thank you) speach with your FH. We did this the morning of our wedding, lol. Make an ongoing list and start delegating to the wedding party, your parents and your FH. You'd be surprised how eager people are to help but they just need direction. 😀 The month before our wedding was chaotic, just try and keep calm and have days with limited wedding tasks. You got this!

    As mentioned, as long as you have the important pieces: the rings, the marriage license and your officiant you will be good. All of the other details will fall into place and nobody except you will notice if something is missing or wrong!

    Remember to drink lots of water and eat something...and because you may not get the chance to finish your meal, ask your venue if they can send you home with some food!

    The best advice I have been given is to find a moment to sneak away with your husband and have a moment just for the two of you to soak it all up! The day goes by so quickly and you want to enjoy it together!

    As long as you have the rings, the license, the officiant, the food & booze - YOU WILL BE OKAY!

    Buuuut I get wanting everything to be perfect... so make sure you go over the list that weddinwire provides! Make sure you have all the contact information for all the vendors, all the signage, itinerary, outfits, favours, transportation. Basically double check everything.

    Once all that is complete and all the items on your list are checked off - have a bubble bath. Trust me - it's when you are not thinking of things that you remember what you forgot. Plus - bubble baths are awesome.

    This is my "last minute advice" All things that happened to me or that I wish I had been told!

    If something goes wrong, it's okay! You'll still be married at the end of the day. Especially if its something small--no one else will remember it. No one will remember the lights in the backdrop weren't turned on (for example!) or that this vase wasn't in the right place.

    You can't control the weather: what happens, happens, all you can do is go with the flow!

    Take a look at the crowd during your ceremony. As you stand at the front, waiting to be announced as husband and wife, look out at everyone there. My friend told me to do this and it was one of the special moments, just seeing everyone together.

    Give your phone to a friend to take pictures throughout the day so you have some to look through

    Give your phone to someone in your bridal party the morning of to field any last minute calls or texts

    Make sure anyone helping out knows what to do, where to be, when to be there. (My husband was recently asked to sell drink tickets, but he wasn't told that he had to be there for 5:30 when cocktail hour started so he came at 5:50, thinking he was just selling for dinner)

    Make sure your clean-up crew knows what's yours to take home and where it should go/who should take it (I had made a list of everything and my MOH was taking everything. My friend made a list as well, but we had no idea who was supposed to take all the stuff and where it was supposed to go!)

    Drink water! All day. You will probably sweat most of it off, especially if your dress has lots of layers!

    Have snacks and water during pictures (it can feel long!)

    Clear your bedroom floor of any hazards (my husband stubbed his toe the morning of our wedding when he first woke up and was limping all day!)

    Go over your timeline with someone from your wedding party and have them buffer any questions about it (I got a few questions that I just didn't care what happened but they thought I would so they asked; such as dinner was scheduled for 5:15 but the venue said it would be ready for 5:30, late night snack ended up being done before the scheduled time so it came out half an hour early--fine with me, just don't ask me!) But, if you're not okay with any changes, let someone else know so they can field these questions.
