     The Last Night

     Aim to have all your wedding plans and tasks completed by the afternoon prior to your

     wedding day. You may then like to go out for a nice dinner with your fiancé for the last

     time before you 'tie the knot'. Retreat to your separate locations and relax with a bath,

     candles and soft music. Get an early night!

    Blemish Free

    If you plan to have a facial before the big day, be sure to book yourself an appointment

     for 2 weeks in advance of the wedding. This will give your skin time for blemishes to appear

     and disappear before the wedding day. Keep your skin looking fresh and vibrant by drinking

     lots of water and eating natural foods. Speak to your beautician about foods and practices

     that will promote healthy, glowing skin.

     Breaking in those Dancin' Shoes

     The big day is indeed a BIG day, you'll need all your energy and sore feet is one of the

     biggest set backs. The solution, break in your wedding shoes. Wear them only around the

     house 5-6 times prior to the wedding for approx 1-2 hours. You'll soon know whether your

     shoes will be comfortable on the day or not. Alternatively, you might like to bring along

     a pair of flat shoes (of course they must also complement your dress) so you can dance

     the night away once the formalities are over.

     A Perfect Start to the Day

     The best way to get your wedding day started is to enjoy a beautiful breakfast. You may like

     to do this with members of the bridal party to make it a special last meal before you officially

     tie the knot!

     Make things easier on the day, have one of your bridesmaids prepare two picnic baskets of

     food the day before the wedding. One basket for the Groom and Groomsmen's location and

     one for the Bride and Bridesmaid's location. Fill the picnic basket with some or all of the

     following items to give you a perfect start to the day:

         - Seasonal Fruits

         - Cheeses, dips, cold meats

         - Crackers and biscuits

         - Packet Chips and pretzels

         - Muffins, Danishes and other baked goods

         - Box of cereal and long life milk

         - Sweet biscuits

         - Chocolate

         - Tea, coffee and sugar

         - One bottle of Sparkling

      Many of these items can be used to lay out on a platter for you to pick at until you leave

      for the ceremony. You may be too nervous or even busy for lunch so try to snack whenever

      you can to keep your energy up.

    Traffic Report

     In the week leading up to the big day, check the local paper of the suburbs for any events

     or festivals being held in the areas you will be traveling through on the day. This includes

        - The Bride's starting point

        - The Groom's starting point

        - Bridal Party's starting point(s)

        - Ceremony location

        - Photo locations

        - Reception location

        - Wedding night location

     Discuss any events or activities being held with your driver and prepare alternate routes

     to avoid traffic delays, you don't want to be late for any part of your special day!

    Don't forget the Tissues!

     Pack some in your bridal purse, the day will certainly get emotional. Pack an extra few for

     the groom, he says he won't need them but he will!

     Need Repairs?

     You may like to pack a small sewing kit in the purse of one of your bridesmaids or even

     your own purse. Some cotton, the colour of your dress and the bridesmaids dresses, a

     needle, a tiny pair of scissors and a few safety pins will ensure you are prepared for any

     minor setbacks.

     Touch Ups

     Don't forget to take along your essential make-up such as mascara, foundation, powder,

     blush and eye liner. Your make up will most likely require touch ups throughout the day,

     especially after shedding a few tears.

     Waterproof!!!

     It is strongly recommended that you use waterproof mascara and eye-liner, the emotion

     could get the better of you!!

     Money Money Money

     It's always nice to feel safe and secure and carrying a small amount of money on the day

     can provide you with a little peace of mind. $20-$50 is enough to cover any small

     emergencies, or you might just like to stop at a cafe and shout the driver, photographer

     and bridal party a coffee!
