Find a photographer who will give you negatives/high resolution pictures on disc so that you have control over your own re-prints and gifts for bridal party. They may come in handy in years to come also - be wary of what you are actually getting! They like to make more money after the day by charging a fortune for your family to buy one photo. Heidi - Wantirna VIC
Always have trial runs for your make up and hair style before the day for both you and your bridesmaids. Take your headpiece and show your hairdresser so they can incorporate it into your style without it looking like it has been plonked on as an afterthought. Do ask your bridesmaids not to radically cut their hair or change their style until after the wedding. Remember that things happen and you cannot control other people, just work with issues as they arise and enjoy your day. Also take some time out in another area away from others with your bridesmaids, between the wedding and reception (after the photos) where you can let it all hang out before you have to face the rest of the evening. That way you can recharge a little and not have your evening photos looking like you have a forced smile. Amanda - Blakeview SA
If you want to save money, make your table centrepieces yourself. You can also make the bridesmaids hair clips. Make sure that the cake decorator takes the cake to the reception venue and sets it up themselves. That way it will always look perfect. Amanda - Blakeview SA
What ever happens on your big day please do not panic and always keep smiling or else the camera will catch you, and you will regret it afterwards. Kim - Fairfield NSW
Wear your shoes before the day because it will be a lond one and you don't want blisters. Sit in front of the TV and let your body heat do all the work! Vicki - Strathfield NSW
Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes - shoes that pinch and hurt can really add a damper to the day!! Jasmine - Wentworthville NSW
Try to schedule regular facials for yourself in the months before your big day. Your skin will be beautiful and appear glowing in all your photos! Cris - Normanhurst NSW
Save time and money on Invitations by buying all the pieces you need and get all your bridesmaids over to help pu them together. Save money and it's fun! Bridget -Bligh Park NSW
Try not to worry too much for the big day to run smoothly. If you are relaxed, it will be a much more enjoyable event. Don't forget to have a great time - after all, it is one of the most important days of your life. Kristy - Windsor
For our wedding day we wanted our pictures to be perfect, so we called and found out at exactly what time the sun was setting on that particular day. The wedding shot's were perfect, pink sky with the sun beaming from behind us. You can call your local council and they can give you the right number to call. Carey - Windsor.
Don't forget that if you find a special dress and you are a size 12 and the dress is either a size 10 or 14, that either of these dresses can on most cases be taken in, or let out, so don't miss out on that special dress. Samantha - Glenhaven NSW.
Don't leave it too late you should begin your looking for your gown at least nine months before your big day. Jackie - Turramurra NSW
FITTINGS - Don't forget to wear the bra/underwear and shoes you intend on wearing on the day to all your fitting. Susie - Windsor
