YOUR WEDDING DAY – TIPS AND ADVICE TO MAKE THE DAY HAPPEN

The following advice contains helpful information to make certain your Wedding happens
without tears, tantrums and biting the carpet. This is general advice and of course will not
apply to all wedding days.
As wedding professionals for many years we have noticed the little things that can lead to
thing going so wrong that even the guests notice! This tips help to avoid potential problems
and disasters.
For a start, make certain that when you book the florist to deliver flowers to the bride’s address that they arrive on time. Ring the florist if they are late. Videographers and photographers need images of brides and bridesmaids holding bouquets.
Make sure that you have the bride and bridesmaids hair and make-up started early.
Preferably the bride first. Again, photographers and videographers will appreciate bridal party members made-up and ready not less than one hour before departure for the ceremony.
On the day of the wedding call your car hire company to double-check the arrival times.
Being 15 min late for the ceremony is acceptable but not 1 hour.
Make absolutely certain that someone in the bridal party has a mobile phone, on at all times (except during the actual wedding ceremony) and give that mobile number beforehand to the wedding ceremony officiator, the Reception organisers, video and photo people plus anyone
else who may need to urgently contact you.
This is important. Photographers have turned up to a deserted church to later be told that
the ceremony was changed to another location and the couple forgot to tell them.
If you don’t wish to occur overtime car-hire charges, follow the guidance of the drivers and
be ready/depart for reception promptly after your location-shoot formal images are taken following the ceremony.
At your Reception enjoy yourselves to the limit but don’t let any guests or wedding-party members get too full. Call a waiter if you see any trouble developing. Wedding Receptions
can be places where family problems come out into the open. Unless they have MC’d
weddings before do not get a friend or relative to do yours. It can become a disorganised shambles with guests drifting away before the end.
If you follow the above few tips you will have the best day of your lives.

Some great advice that you've mentioned here. I love those kits you can get for the bridal party in case of mishaps too. They're filled with things like bandaids, headache tablets, safety pins, spare lipstick etc. just in case something happens.
