Now that you’ve taken care of many important tasks in your wedding to do list, it’s time for you to look for your wedding dress and wedding accessories.

Before your first fitting, be sure to select your bridal shoes (for hemming) and high quality lingerie (for the way your gown will look).

Wedding Planning Tip: Your wedding day will be the one day you will want to look your most feminine and most beautiful. Ensure your lingerie doesn’t show any bumps so you have a seamless look.

Try on several styles of wedding gowns until you find the one that’s perfect for you.

If you’re unsure or you have to be “convinced” that’s it’s perfect, then it may not be the right wedding dress for you.

Your wedding dress is one of the most important items on your wedding checklist because you’re going to be the center of attention on your dream wedding day. Take time to choose the wedding dress that makes you look stunning.

Select your wedding ceremony music in consultation with the church organist or musician.

In addition to, or instead of, the church organist, you can choose a musician who plays the piano, flute, or harp, for example.

And, you might decide to retain a musician or group of musicians for an outdoor wedding such as a beach themed wedding or backyard wedding.

Decide whether you want traditional wedding music or something that shows your personal style – such as Classical, Country, or Gospel music.

Be sure to consult with your wedding officiant for guidelines on what type of wedding music can be played at the wedding ceremony before choosing your wedding music.

Traditional wedding ceremony music, which is usually played by the church organist, consists of four parts: Prelude (as the wedding guests arrive for the ceremony), Processional (as your bridal party walks down the aisle), Bridal Entrance (as you walk down the aisle), Recessional (as you and your new husband walk up the aisle after being married), Postlude (as the wedding guests leave the ceremony.)

The next item on your wedding checklist will be to choose wedding reception music.

In fact, several very important items have been checked off your wedding to do list.

The next item on your wedding planning checklist is to create a folder of all the wedding vendors you’ve selected.

Also create a folder of all the vendors who were not selected – you might still have to call upon one or two of them to help you if your first choice proves to be unreliable or has to cancel for some reason.

Better still, instead of creating a folder, use this wedding planning software which comes with the Budget Wedding Planning Guide to record all of your wedding vendors.

Once you have a preliminary vendor list, it’s time to narrow the field and short list those vendors or wedding suppliers you wish to retain.

Wedding Checklist Tip: Contact friends for recommendations and ask vendors for references to see which wedding vendors will be suitable for you.

When selecting wedding vendors check out references and ask other brides-to-be what experiences they’ve had.

You may be asking yourself, though, what questions do I ask each vendor to help ensure that I choose the one that is right for me?

This Master Wedding Planning Guide can be a life saver when it comes to asking questions to select wedding providers.

It covers KEY questions you MUST ask when you talk to potential photographers, videographers, floral arrangers, caterers, venue providers, bands, celebrant/minister/rabbi/pastor, and everyone else associated with the wedding…in easy-to-use checklists.

Asking the right questions will help you avoid unexpected costs, surprises, and disappointments and might even save you from losing your deposit.

And there’s nothing worse than worrying about where a vendor is on your wedding day – especially if it’s two hours before your wedding.

Once you have the information you need you’ll be able to short list your wedding vendors and make arrangments to hire them.

As you can see, your wedding to do list is keeping you on track and helping with your wedding planning so you can enjoy your dream wedding.
