That’s why I created a Wedding Day Emergency Kit Checklist for the bride to be.

It covers 6 major sections including Beauty, Makeup, Attire, Medical, and more.

You can also download your Brides Emergency Kit as part of your Wedding Planning Checklist.

If you haven’t chosen a wedding dress, then now is the time to make a final decision and arrange your first fitting.

Some wedding gowns are hand made and you’ll need a fair amount of lead time to ensure the wedding dress is ready in time for your wedding.

You’ll also need to select wedding accessories including lingerie, hosiery, garters, shoes, jewelry, and veil or headpiece.

Wedding Dress Tip: When you put your wedding dress on – over your wedding lingerie – and look at it in the mirror, you want a smooth looking fit. You don’t want any bulges (unless that’s part of the gown’s design) or poorly sewn seams.

Check to see how your wedding dress looks and feels around your waist, hips, and bust.

Keep in mind that if you’re on a wedding weight loss program you may need adjustments in these areas – which you should discuss with your wedding dress salon.

Check this item off your wedding checklist once completed.

If you do, then this next item on your wedding checklist will be something you’ll be interested in…

Choose a realistic and healthy wedding diet program.

And don’t forget to take your wedding day diet into account when choosing a wedding dress.

Be sure to consult with your doctor before starting any wedding weight loss program or exercise program.

Once you’ve chosen your wedding day diet program, check it off your wedding planning checklist.

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.

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.
