The most important thing for a bride is her bridal outfit. Make sure you start looking for it as early as you can and get it ready at least a month before the wedding. Also, you need to keep checking its fitting till the last moment. There will always be some or the other alterations to it, and having ample time in hand to do certainly avoid a crisis on the last minute.

#2. Jewellery

Again, no Indian wedding is complete without jewellery, and there are special designs for weddings. Make sure you visit at least 2-3 well-known jewellers and compare their designs and prices. Order well in advance so that you can wear and match it well with your wedding outfit be it a lehenga or a saree, and don’t forget to take it along with you to the parlour you have booked.

#3. Safety Pins

Bridal checklist

Make sure you have lots of safety pins on your wedding day. Wedding dresses are usually quite heavy and to keep them in place you will need several safety pins. Maybe you had tucked it up quite nicely when you were getting ready, but keeping them handy at the venue is also required.

#4. Keep a roll of moli for kaliras

It’s always a great idea to keep an extra pair of heels for you D-day. We just wish that nothing happens, but in case if your heels break or the strap comes out, you have an alternative.

#6. Beauty salon

In case you have booked a beauty salon for your makeup, call them well in advance and also ensure that it isn’t far away from the wedding venue. This is especially important if you are in a city where traffic jams aren’t something new or uncommon.

#7. Makeup

Bridal Checklist

The bride should make sure that the makeup is in line with her dress and also as per the weather. Wear waterproof makeup if it’s a monsoon wedding. Try wearing a light makeup if it’s a summer wedding since sweat can ruin your makeup and leave spots on your face.

#8. Friends and family

A lot of times brides forget to assign the duty of entry songs to someone. If you have a specific song in mind, keep multiple copies of it with you, and ask your cousin or friend to be with the DJ wala when you enter.

Well, you might want to avoid any additional physical exertion on your wedding day. Try and stay as relaxed as you can and grab a couple of hours of sleep during the day too if you can. It usually takes a lot of time to complete all the rituals, and most weddings run into wee morning hours.

#12. Diet

Eat properly on this day and drink lots of water and if you can, also a couple of glasses or juice. You’ll need lots of energy today so ‘DO NOT AVOID FOOD’ at any cost. Not eating properly can reduce your blood sugar levels and make you feel uneasy during the wedding.

#13. Don’t forget to pee!

And yes, one of the most important things you just need to do before entering the wedding venue and that’s to pee. There is a lot of nervousness and tension as and when you enter the spotlight. So, better freshen up beforehand and don’t feel uncomfortable.
