Your wedding week is finally here—how exciting! As the big day approaches, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by last-minute tasks. That’s why I’ve put together this simple wedding checklist to help you stay organized, stress-free, and fully present during one of the most special times of your life.
1. Enjoy Every Moment
Let’s start with the most important reminder: enjoy this week! Take time to celebrate, soak in the love around you, and savor the excitement of being so close to saying “I do.” You’ve worked so hard to plan this day, so allow yourself to fully embrace every moment.
2. Assign Helpers
You don’t have to do it all alone. Ask your bridesmaids or a trusted friend to help with last-minute errands or tasks so you can relax. Assign someone to be the point person for your vendor team and another to bring your details box to the getting-ready space. Delegating will free you up to enjoy your wedding week.
3. Prepare Your “Details Box”
To capture all the beautiful details of your wedding day, prepare a box with these items before I arrive:
- Rings: Engagement ring and both wedding bands
- Jewelry: Earrings, bracelets, necklaces
- Invitation suite: Include extra copies if possible
- Veil: Make sure it’s steamed
- Shoes: Ceremony and Reception shoes if you’re changing.
- Groom’s accessories: Cufflinks, tie, pocket square
- Family heirlooms or sentimental items
- Perfume bottle
Having these items ready will save time and ensure nothing gets missed!
4. Tidy the Getting-Ready Space
A clean and organized getting-ready space makes a huge difference in your photos. Ask your bridesmaids to tidy up the room before I arrive by clearing away clutter, keeping bags in one area, and tossing any trash. A little prep goes a long way in creating gorgeous images!
5. Complete Final Wedding Week Tasks
Here are a few final to-do’s to check off your list before the big day:
- Steam your dress and veil to ensure they’re wrinkle-free.
- Confirm arrival times and details with your vendor team.
- Pack an emergency kit with essentials like safety pins, double-sided tape, tissues, Band-Aids, and a sewing kit.
- Write a love note to your partner (optional but highly recommended for all the feels!).
- Stay hydrated and prioritize rest—this will help you feel your best.
6. The Night Before Your Wedding
Set yourself up for a smooth and calm morning with these simple steps:
- Lay out your wedding-day outfit and accessories.
- Double-check your details box to make sure everything is packed.
- Set your alarm to allow plenty of time to get ready without feeling rushed.
- Go to bed early—you’ll want to be well-rested for your amazing day ahead!
