The Ultimate Wedding List

Yesterday I mentioned to my Facebook friends about the stress of my upcoming wedding. I just keep thinking I'm going to forget something. I leave in 3 weeks. With the help of my friends, I've put together the ultimate wedding list.

Besides the obvious dress, wedding shoes, and jewelry, what to bring with you for your big day!

First and most importantly, don't forget your fiance!
Mini steamer
I totally bought one of these yesterday after seeing the idea!! It's a destination wedding... BRILLIANT idea!
Tide-to-go Pen, chalk, and/or soda water
Melissa: "If anything gets on your dress (I had a friend who's flowers left pollen marks on her dress BEFORE the wedding) rubbed some chalk on there and it wasn't as noticeable."
My seamstress recommends soda water ESP if you plan on drinking wine!
Sewing Kit
I'm really NOT good at sewing, BUT I've heard it's def important to have one of these handy. A friend of mine ripped her dress hours before the ceremony. Fortunately that sewing kit saved her!
Safety Pins
Another recommendation from the seamstress for those "just in case" moments!
Handkerchief
Jenny: "A cloth handkerchief.. .wrap it around the bottom of your bouquet during the ceremony. If you cry; use that instead of Kleenex so you don't get white flakes on your pretty face."
Baby Powder
Michelle: "Doesn't matter the temp you will SWEAT!"
Oil blotting rice paper sheets
Diana: "Didn't even know what they were until my wedding day when my photographer used them to touch my makeup up. Ingenious."
Lotion and sunscreen
Kiana: "Sunscreen! My maid of honor was so burnt for our photos. It was a bummer."
It is still dry here in Minnesota, so regular lotion to make your skin look fresh is a MUST!

Other Great Advice!

Claudia: "Relax. Unless you are planning on getting married in the middle of the jungle, chances are the hotel will be able to find anything you forget. Just breathe."

Cindel: "Bring the important things on carry on if you can... Just in case there is an issue with your luggage."

Katie: "Remember the day is about your marriage not all the small stuff. Just have fun with the man you love."

Amber: "The groom and the rings. The rest will fall into place."

Treeva: "Ur sanity sweetie- things will b perfect :)"
