It’s widely known that planning a wedding takes a great deal of time, and with everything from choosing a venue and menu to planning seating and flower arrangements, the prospect can sometimes seem overwhelming. To help you out, here are four of the best ways to stay organised before and after your big day.

Before

1,   Write an itinerary

An itinerary is a great way to make sure everyone in your wedding party knows exactly what, where, and when events are happening. This wedding organiser from kikki.K includes prompter sheets to help you organise every detail in style, such as hair and makeup appointments, deliveries, photography sessions, and the time of the ceremony.

2, Compile a survival kit

Your wedding survival kit should include essential items for the big day. For instance hairspray, nail polish, hair pins, a sewing kit, plasters, paracetamol tablets, deodorant etc. These can simply be put into one sturdy box or container and assigned to someone to look after. Storage boxes from Plastic Box Shop are perfect for storing your survival items, as they are transparent and lightweight.

3, Preserve your wedding dress

Most people like to hold onto their wedding dress, however it can sometimes end up dominating space in your wardrobe or gathering dust in your loft. Avoid this by getting it professionally dry-cleaned, then placing in a breathable, pH neutral box (not plastic) that eliminates light. Dress boxes from Dress in a Box are perfect for storing and preserving precious garments.

4. Gather and arrange your photos

Even if you’ve hired a professional photographer for your wedding, you can guarantee your friends and family will be snapping away throughout the day, too. Send a quick email to your friends and family, asking them if they wouldn’t mind sending you their digital photos. You can then design your very own wedding photo book with an online service such as PikPerfect, and have it posted to you.
