You’ve prepared for months to make sure your wedding is perfect. You’ve put a lot of effort into making sure your guests will enjoy themselves and that the memories will be fantastic. On the night before your wedding, you’ll want to relax and prepare yourself, but here are 5 last minute things you can do to make sure the day goes smoothly.
Try on Your Wedding Dress
Try your dress on one last time, just to make sure everything still fits perfectly. This is especially important if you’ve gained any weight or lost any weight in the last few weeks. Don’t forget to try on the under clothes and shoes as well. Have someone look it all over to make sure there are no imperfections.

Tip #1 is especially good! As a wedding photographers, we’ve definitely showed up on more than a couple of wedding days and found that the bride was unhappy about some aspect of how her dressing was “fitting” on the day. One year, we even handed out little kits with needle & thread (and several other last minute life-savers) to the brides we were going to be photographing! Details matter!
