The do's
"Plan, Organize, Activate and Coordinate"
Plan:
Give yourself plenty of time to plan. "Stress" means
"strain" and "mental or physical tension", usually
brought on by attempting to handle a multiple of tasks
with a minimum of time.
A realistic budget and timetable are mandatory to keep
you on track.
Organize
all the pieces of the wedding. A binder which will
include separate tabs for wedding professionals,
appointments, contracts, gown/ dress swatches etc..
Activate:
Prepare and follow a timetable of events, including
appointments, deposits & payments, reviewing, contract
terms, fittings, etc..
Coordinate:
Every aspect of the wedding day must be coordinated;
Vendors and wedding party must be coordinated.
On the wedding day:
Pamper yourself
Spend quite time alone
Spend time with your parents
Eat something light
Relax - It's your day to enjoy
Do it your way - it's not a dress rehearsal
