Ultimate Bridal Checklist

A lot of brides have been writing in to us asking what our ultimate bridal checklist is.  What is this?  This is the complete list of everything you should remember for your wedding day outfit.  It is not a schedule or a planner or a list of things for your photographer.  Instead, it’s something that you should have on hand and reference for yourself.  The one thing you don’t want to happen is to forget something that you wanted to wear or put in your hair or change into.  So, here it is.  If we’ve forgotten something, let us know!  Hopefully we haven’t, but sometimes, there are some things that slip through the crack.

Here goes:

1. Wedding dress:  Absolutely do not forget this!  Also, 2 weeks before, check it over to make sure there are no problems.  Try it on again to make sure you haven’t gained or lost weight.  Plus, make sure it doesn’t have to be pressed or steamed, especially if you’ve traveled with it.

2. Necklace:  Don’t forget that precious silver or pearl necklace you are going to wear with your dress.

3. Earrings

4. Bracelet:  For all of you women who are adding some extra bling, make sure you remember this.  And, if you have an ankle bracelet, don’t forget that!

5. Wedding shoes:  Of course you can’t forget your ivory bridal shoes!  Or those fantastic purple wedding shoes you picked out from our site.  Put them in a safe place so you won’t forget them.

6. Flip flops:  Did you buy a pair to change into later?  Well, absolutely, don’t forget this!

7. Hair piece:  Are you wearing a tiara or is the florist bringing flowers for your hair?  Either way, put the tiara or clips aside and call your florist to remind her to bring the flowers.

 

8. Underwear:  Choose some nice underwear to wear.  When your bridesmaids help you put on the dress, the photographer may snap a photo and you don’t want to be wearing granny panties in that photo!

9. Lingerie:  You might be tired, but I bet your new husband won’t be that tired.  Get some nice lingerie to wear for him.

10. Cute dress for the next day:  The day after the wedding, you’ll probably be at the hotel walking around and saying good-bye to your guests.  Don’t forget to bring a cute dress for just that occasion.

11. Make-up:  Even if you are getting your make-up done, bring your own in case you need it for touch-ups or the day after.

12. Lip gloss:  Bring this so you can carry it around and retouch.

13. Clutch or purse:  Have one that your bridesmaids will be carrying around?  Put that aside with your shoes.

14. Contacts:  Put aside an extra pair.  The worst thing is to lose it on that day and not be able to see anything.

15. Toiletries:  If you are staying overnight, don’t forget to pack this.

16. Cute dress to have for your make-up:  Again, the photographer is going to take photos of you while you are getting your make-up done.  Bring a cute dress to have on that you can easily take off.  Don’t get caught in your ratty t-shirt and shorts for the big day!

17. Sticky tape, needle and thread:  For emergencies!

18. Bra or boob enhancers or stickies:  Don’t forget this, or your boobs won’t look as hot!

19. Baby powder, foot petals:  Whatever you have to help your feet when they sweat or if your shoes hurt.  Don’t forget to pack that!

20. Fun t-shirt or gift from your bachelorette or bridal shower:  If you were given any “bride to be” items, don’t forget to pack this.

21. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue:  If you are a traditionalist, don’t forget all of these items

22. Hair spray:  If you don’t like the way the spray smells from your stylist, bring your own.

23. Flat iron & curling iron & clips:  If you aren’t getting your hair done, don’t forget this.

OK, there you have it.  Our complete list of items that you will need for the big day.  Bring all this and you should be set!
