It was a day I would never forget. The sun was shining, my heart skipped a beat, and I’d said “Yes”!
As I gazed lovingly at the stunning rock now sitting on my left hand, another thought crossed my mind……..
What if I forget something when planning my wedding day? Something REALLY important? In fact…….how do I know, what I don’t know? Agggghhh
My mind started to race, and before I knew it I felt overwhelmed, and left wondering if I was forgetting any details (before I’d even got started with the planning process). 
There are a million things to think about when planning your wedding day; so it’s hardly surprising that things get forgotten. However……I knew I didn’t want to be the bride that forgets things! I wanted to plan my wedding without losing my mind, or anything else for that matter!
To help you avoid being the bride that forgets things, I’ve put together 9 details that you can’t forget on your wedding day.
1. Don’t Forget To Eat
One of the biggest details you can’t forget on your wedding day is……… food!
You’ve spent so much time tasting, choosing and co-ordinating your menu; make sure you get to taste it on the day.
If you are going to be busy with guests, photos etc. ask your caterer to put aside a plate for you both. Don’t forget to ask them to include a slice of cake! If you’re like me, and need to eat regularly to keep your blood sugar level up, ensure you have snacks available all day. And don’t forget to arrange breakfast and lunch for you and your bridal party.
2. Bring Comfortable Shoes To Dance The Night Away
You’ve found the perfect pair of shoes. I’m sure they are gorgeous, sexy…..and probably uncomfortable to wear all day!! Whatever you do, make sure you don’t wear them for the very first time on your wedding day. Break them in by wearing them around the house.
Also , don’t forget to bring a comfortable pair of shoes, or shoe inserts, that you can slip on as the dancing starts. You want to be able to dance the night away, not sit on the sidelines with sore feet.
3. Cry Proof Eyelashes
Weddings are emotional and tissues may be necessary. Don’t forget to test your mascara, or faux eyelashes, to ensure they are cry proof. The last thing you need is mascara running down your face, or eyelashes falling off. Eyelash glue is water soluble so keep a little extra eyelash glue in your Touch Up Bag.
4. Don’t Forget the Tech Chargers
Have all your devices charged and ready to go in the morning of your wedding day. Don’t forget to pack the chargers so that nothing dies during the day. If you are using an iPad, iPod or another device for your music, ensure it is charged and you have the correct charger ready as a back up. If you are hooking it up to speakers, or the DJ’s sound system, ensure you have the correct wires, and test that it works before the wedding starts.
5. Pack a Touch Up Bag/ Emergency Kit
Ensure you stay gorgeous all day by packing a Touch Up Bag. Ask one of your bridesmaids, or family members, to ensure it’s available whenever you need it.
Fill it with everything from tissues, deodorant, headache medication, hairspray, perfume, lipstick, floss, mints, mouthwash, needle & thread, safety pins, band aids, perfume, eyelash glue and anything you need to touch up your make up.
These are the small details you can’t forget on your wedding day. You can then enjoy the day; knowing that you are prepared for any emergency.
6. What Time The Sun Sets
Sunsets are the golden hour for photographers. Find out what time the sun will be setting, and discuss the options for taking photographs with your photographer. Plan your timeline for the day to ensure you make the most of the light in your photos.
7. Have a Weather Back Up Plan
Everyone plans for beautiful weather on their wedding day. Unfortunately it’s one thing we can’t control, and so these are details you can’t forget on your wedding day. Don’t be caught out without a weather back up plan.
Have a plan B for rain, severe cold weather and even extreme heat. Research the historical weather patterns and be realistic about what to expect. Ensure you have shade and water available for extreme heat, and shelter if you get rain. Make arrangements before the wedding, so you don’t have to worry about it on your big day.
8. Designate a Post-Wedding Person
Ask a friend or family member to gather up all personal items, gifts and cards at the end of the night. If you are leaving on your honeymoon immediately after the wedding, ask someone to pick up your wedding dress and tuxedos.
There are many details you can’t forget on your wedding day, and clean up is one of them. The last thing you need to worry about is clearing up after your big day, so designate someone to ensure all vendors pick up their items, rentals are returned, and nothing is left behind at the end of the night.
9. Take Time To Enjoy Every Minute
One of the biggest details you can’t forget on your wedding day, is to take time to stay present and enjoy every minute. The day will fly by (much quicker than you think it will) and so don’t forget to stay in the moment and appreciate every moment. There won’t be many other occasions when you have all your friends and family in one place, on one day!
It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the details of your big day. Just remember, if you do forget something, it’s not a disaster……..your wedding will be beautiful with or without it!
