Previously on your wedding planning checklist you started looking at bridal gowns.

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.

Planning your honeymoon with your FH is your next wedding checklist item.

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.

This next item on your wedding checklist will be important if you’re planning on having a large wedding reception or you’re planning an outdoor wedding.

Reserve rental equipment if it’s not provided at the reception venue.

Your rental equipment will include tents, chairs, and tables. It might also include tableware.

Once you’ve made arrangements for your rental equipment, check it off your wedding checklist.

Your next wedding checklist item will be choosing your floral arrangements.

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.
