The big day is fast approaching and you feel as though all the t’s have been crossed and all the i’s have been dotted, BUT, have you?

No matter how well everything has been planned from your Wedding Planner, Caterer, Venue and all others connected in pulling off the most memorable event of your lifetime, you as a couple still may have overlooked what could be a very crucial part of your “special day”.

Have you ever wondered what you might need to stay fresh, handle wedding dress disasters, beauty touch ups, suit maintenance (yes guys, it can happen to you too), staying hydrated, maintaining full energy and dealing with last minute allergies? Well don’t worry, here are a few ideas to eliminate those worries!

Before we touch on all the suggested items, here is a valuable thought about important contact details which you should provide to your Day of Coordinator:

• Create a list of wedding vendors names & contact numbers both landline and mobile
