When you’ve got all of the key parts of wedding planning out of the way, the fun can really begin. 9 months is still plenty of time before your big day, giving you the time you need to sort out everything else that will help to make your wedding day the best day ever.

Your wedding is creeping up quickly, but don’t worry, 3 months is still enough time to sort any last-minute things out. This is the perfect time to arrange any finishing touches that will make your wedding day perfect. You should have all of the major planning done for your wedding day by this point, so you can finish your ‘to-do’ list and start getting excited.
Create your seating/table plan.
Meet with your Celebrant/Solemniser to discuss your ceremony.
Finalise your menu and drinks with your catering company.
Purchase any accessories you need for your wedding.
Purchase Gifts for bridesmaids, groomsmen and family members.
It’s finally here, your wedding day is tomorrow! The night before your wedding there isn’t much you need to do, as all of the hard work has already been done and you’re prepared for your big day. So, you can take the evening to relax, spend time with your family and friends, and get excited about what tomorrow will bring.
Prepare your outfits for the big day tomorrow.
Make sure everyone, Bride, Groom, bridal party, celebrant, wedding photographer etc, is on the same page about the run of day and ceremony for the wedding.
Read over your vows one last time.
Have a pre-wedding day pamper.
Get an early night, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go.
