Whether you’re days away or in the final weeks, this checklist will help you feel confident and stress-free as you walk down the aisle.

1. Confirm with Vendors 

• Touch base with all vendors—venue, photographer, florist, caterer, DJ/band, and officiant.
• Double-check arrival times and setup schedules.
• Ensure final payments and gratuities are ready.

2. Check the Weather Forecast

• Don’t forget blotting papers, deodorant, breath mints, and comfortable shoes.
• Have a copy of vows and speeches just in case! 

5. Break in Your Wedding Shoes
