Hints & Tips

FOR THE BIG DAY Pack a ‘toolbox’ for your wedding day which includes: Bobby pins Hair spray Touch up make-up Tissues Breath mints

Mobile phone (with phone numbers of family members, photographer, caterer etc saved) Camera

Small sewing kits including scissors, needle and thread and safety pins Umbrellas or parasols (or both!)

Pashmina or shawl Sunscreen Bottles of water Snacks Small first aid kit with Panadol and band aids Sun glasses Deodorant Perfume Toothpicks or dental floss

Set an alarm for the morning (although you are unlikely to sleep in!) and make sure you leave time for breakfast.

Take photos (and get the bridesmaids and groomsmen to) – capture the moments the photographer never will (like breakfast with your bridesmaids or the bride and groom at the very end of the evening!).

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Smile and enjoy!
