6 Weeks Until You're Married...

Argh! It's six-weeks to go!

There's no time to panic, but it's too soon to put your feet up just yet. Review our previous posts to make sure that you've covered all your bases:

1 year to go

9 months to go

6 months to go

3 months to go

Assuming you have a check-list of things, now is the time to review everything again. Get your partner to go through everything separately, too. A fresh pair of eyes might spot something you've missed.

• Book in for a hair and make-up trial and settle on the style that you're looking for. Use magazines, billboards, films, paintings and photographs as your inspiration. Choose a stylist who you can trust. You'll want someone who is honest with you, but willing to create the style you want.
  
  
• Reconfirm the venues and services and make sure they understand exactly what it is that you expect on the day.
  
  
• Arrange to collect any dresses, or suits and start thinking about whether anything is likely to need altering.
  
  
• Encourage the Best Man, Father of the Bride and Chief Bridesmaid (if necessary) to start writing their speeches.
  
  
• Make sure the celebrant or officiant has a copy of the order of service and is notified of any special elements that you want to include.
  
  It's easy to feel the pressure building and that's completely natural and understandable, but don't lose sight of the most important element of all: you're marrying the person that you love. It doesn't matter if you've dropped the ball on a few things.
