With the big day just around the corner, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed and experience a range of emotions from excitement to nervousness. 

To keep things on track and help yourself stay calm and confident, here’s a practical last-minute wedding checklist covering all the little yet crucial things that brides often forget. From final fittings to personal touches, this list will help you step into your wedding day feeling calm, confident, and prepared.

Wardrobe Check: From Gown to Bridal Underwear

Your final dress fitting is your last chance to ensure that your gown fits perfectly. Try on your full outfit with your shoes, jewellery and hair accessories so you can spot any issues ahead of time. Don’t forget to try on your bridal underwear with your gown to ensure it fits comfortably and remains hidden beneath the fabric. It’s also a smart idea to break in your wedding shoes ahead of time to avoid blisters and soreness later.

Pack Your Emergency Kit

Even the best-laid plans can hit a snag, which is why an emergency kit is essential. Create a compact bridal emergency kit with items like safety pins, painkillers, blister plasters, tissues, deodorant, a mini sewing kit, and some spare makeup. You can even throw in mints or a snack to keep your energy up. Hand it over to a bridesmaid or a wedding coordinator to keep on hand throughout the day, so it’s always within reach if something unexpected happens.

Beauty, Sleep, and Self-Care

In the days leading up to the wedding, focus on rest and hydration. Avoid introducing and testing new products or treatments that could cause irritation or breakouts – stick to your usual skincare routine to avoid any unexpected reactions. Get as much sleep as you possibly can and remember to nourish your body with light, healthy meals to help you look and feel your best for the big day.

Review Your Wedding Day Timeline

Make sure to double-check every element of your wedding timeline so you know what’s happening and when. Confirm appointments and delivery times with your suppliers and share a copy of the schedule with your bridal party so everyone is on the same page and knows exactly where to be and when. Print out the timeline or keep it handy on your phone for quick reference.

Prep Your Personal Touches

It’s the little things that make your wedding day truly special. Whether that’s a handwritten letter for your partner, a favourite perfume, or a family keepsake tucked into your bouquet, these small yet personal touches help to ground you and will make your memories even more meaningful.

A little planning goes a long way in helping you enjoy every moment and ensures you walk into your wedding day feeling calm, collected, and ready to enjoy the magical day. Trust the process, rely on your support team, and most importantly, soak it all in.
