With your bouquets and boutonnieres handy I can also get all of those photos of your flowers and guys flowers done quickly before they get pinned on and moved around...They will be fresh and beautiful in your photos.
Have as many of your details, both Bridal and Decorative details set up early! When I have free time I will grab photos of decorative details such as table settings, chair flowers, alter flowers, candles and so much more.
MAKE SURE TO READ TIP 4!
Items aren't usually ready to wear immediately! Don't wait til the morning of your wedding to iron robes and dresses, take off tags, untangle necklaces, gather your wedding invitations, boxes and such. Most items you have for your details will have tags on them. Give this task to a Bridesmaid the week before. Have a party with your girls...break out the mimosa's and give them some scissors and irons ! They are there to help you and this is a HUGE help!
TIP: Have wooden hangers for the Brides Dress and each of the Bridesmaids Dresses. They look much prettier in photos. Hang a little tag around the top of each hanger with each Bridesmaids name on it so you know whose dress is whose.
Here are a few things you may not think about...
Cut off Hanger loops on dresses
Price tags on the back of signs (Take them off...I will see them from behind as they go down the aisle)
Iron Matching Robes...They look so much better when ironed!
Iron Handkerchief
Remove Anything and everything from the package!
Check earrings and necklaces to make sure they aren't broken
Remove tags from insides of shoes
Wipe off Purfume Bottles (even put into a pretty bottle)
Clean your Ring!
You may not have a scissors handy at a hotel room, or the iron isn't working right. Makeup is delayed and you are running behind. All of these things do happen all the time, so prep your details ahead of time to take remove stresses that may arise!
