Have a plan for when the weather gets bad

Deciding this as a last-minute thing might already be too late, but it’s important to have some kind of backup plan should the weather be different from what was predicted. If it suddenly rains, then most of your outdoor activities will need to be cancelled. In that case, you may want to consider some backup activities. Make sure you discuss this with the venue or your wedding planner as they’ll likely have some ideas to share with you.

Plan transportation for your big day

Remember to plan your transportation to and from your wedding! You may want to consider wedding car hire if you’re looking to show up in style. However, you don’t have to use a car if you don’t want to. Some couples may show up on horseback or even in a carriage. There are loads of unique options to consider.

Make a shot list to give to your photographer

Your photographer needs to have a shot list if you’re adamant about getting pictures of certain people or groups. While a photographer will be more than happy to take pictures of anything and everything, you’ll want them to know the important people that you absolutely want a picture of. Give them a shot list and make sure you updated it as the day goes along so they know who to target first.

Speak to vendors about potential overtime

Make sure you speak to your vendors about any potential overtime that you might encounter. The last thing you want is to frustrate your vendors and tell them that they need to stay longer, so make absolutely sure that you’re not pushing the limits of what they’ve signed up to do.

Create a simple wedding website and hashtags for social media

You may want to consider setting up a simple wedding website with hashtags for social media purposes. It’s actually incredibly easy to create a wedding website and there are lots of services to help you do this with ease.

Bring a comfortable pair of shoes

A comfortable pair of shoes is going to make things a lot easier for you when you get out of your wedding gown and into something more comfortable for a night of celebrations. Make sure you carry around a comfortable pair of shoes in your bag to make things easier.

Ask about meals for your vendors

Your vendors also need to be fed! Make sure you check with your venue to see if they can make extra meals for them. They deserve to be treated well!
