Purchase a wedding album as a keepsake.

And to add even more value to your wedding album, you might also want to maintain a daily diary.

Check this item off your wedding checklist when you’ve completed this task.

This is an exciting adventure with your new husband after your wedding and you want everything to go perfectly.

Research your honeymoon destination. Check out package deals and honeymoon deals.

Also find out visa, passport, and inoculation requirements.

I’ve included this item at this point in your wedding to do list because you’ll need plenty of time for passport and visa application processing.

If you already have a passport check its expiry date – and make sure it expires after you return from your honeymoon.

If you don’t have a passport, pick up an application and arrange for passport photos to be taken.

(This is also a good time to start your wedding diet so you can look sexy on your honeymoon. Remember, your FH can’t wait to go on the honeymoon!)

Mark this item off your wedding checklist when done.

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.

You’ll need to know your wedding budget, your colors, your favorite flowers, and the number of flowers or arrangements you will need, as a starting point in talking with a florist.

When considering your wedding budget keep in mind that you’ll need floral arrangements for both the wedding ceremony site and the reception site.

You’ll also need personal flowers.

For example, you’ll need flowers for your bouquet (including your throw away bouquet), your bridesmaids, your groom and his groomsmen,  your parents and the groom’s parents, and special wedding guests (such as grandparents or close relatives).

Find out from your florist what deposits and payments have to be made to reserve your flowers for your wedding.

Follow your wedding checklist to keep everything in order so you can plan your dream wedding.

In a previous item on your wedding checklist – when you chose your wedding vendors – you decided on either a DJ or a live band (or both if you’re going all out with a lavish wedding).

The advantage of a DJ is that you’ll have a wide range of songs from original artists.

A live band, on the other hand, brings a different “vibe”  to the wedding reception with its high energy and enthusiasm that quickly kicks things into a party atmosphere.

You might select a live band, for example, that fits in with your wedding theme – a Country band or a Rock band or a band that plays traditional wedding reception music.

Or you might want a band that plays jazz or swing or oldies from a particular decade such as the ’80′s.

You don’t have to necessarily make a final choice about your wedding reception music right now.

But at this point in your wedding checklist you’ll want to gather ideas for your wedding reception music play list in discussions with your DJ or band leader.
