Here is a list of things to do before the day of:

  • Having a timeline so you know what the schedule is! (Here are some more tips on timelines here.)

  • Nails, it’s a great activity to do with all the girls before the wedding day.

  • If your writing out your vows, go ahead and to that before!

  • Get your ring clean and nice and sparkly!

  • Steam your wedding dress and veil.

  • Take the price tags off your shoes and jewelry.

  • Break in your shoes around the house.

  • Matching robes or button up shirts for hanging out in all morning are fantastic for photos!

  • Designate who will clean up the getting ready room and when that needs to be done.

  • Designate who will have your touch up lip color and extra bobbie pins for photographs.

  • Designate who will have your any items you need throughout the day such as shoe options, dresses, keys.

  • Go ahead and place tips in envelopes with their names on it. That way you don’t forget anyone and you don’t have to think about it the day of!

  • Some tunes for y’all to hang out to!

  • Have your overnight bag ready and where it needs to be.

  • Gift/Card for your other half!

  • Emergency Kit with bridesmaid’s essential items and who will have it close by.

JUST DON’T DO THESE THINGS:

  • Spray tan… I know it’s tempting because we feel pale but your natural skin tone is so much more perfect in photographs!

  • Get Burnt… we are all enjoying our friends and family but wear sunscreen, everywhere the two weeks before your wedding!

  • Get your eyebrows waxed the day before… get that done at least a week before, just in case your skin acts weird.

  • Eat weird Food!… you don’t want an upset tummy, so stay with some familiar things starting two days before your day.
