The man of your dreams has romantically proposed, of course you say yes! You rush to tell family and friends, you excitedly set the date, life is good… next comes the wedding planning, juggling your time and money, ploughing through endless to do lists, politely rising above interfering friends and family and resisting the will to throw or break something when your car driver carelessly double books and cancels one week before the date.

Miraculously you kept on track, you kept your calm and your mind -the day is set to be a success! But wait, you’re worried that surely something will go wrong, something will indeed be misplaced, broken, forgotten - disaster! Not to worry, we have a few answers to the most common anxieties a bride will face.

The NO-show -Will he be waiting for me at the alter? - Of course, relax, he was the one to ask you after all, even with those little not so subtle hints he still made the executive decision to ask you all by himself! Plus he hasn’t headed for the hills yet- he has stuck around for the planning of the day itself when yes maybe once or twice bridezilla threw a tantrum or two. He’s in for the long haul and cannot wait to make you his wife!

*We definitely recommend that you put you foot down and not let his best mate whisk the stags off too near the wedding, a hung-over groom or a groom in another country would be what we consider a match to a flame.

Your bridesmaids - your best friends, and perhaps the cousin you’ve not seen since you were 5? They are your rocks, they are also your squat team, use them, keep them focused (and never more drunk than yourself), they can deal with any stresses on your behalf leaving you free to enjoy and experience your day.

* A recovery kit is a great idea to combat any little problems regarding unplanned predicaments, leave it in the hands of your most trusted bridesmaid (the most sensible out of the group, not the one most likely to have snook off with the best man) small enough to be kept in her bag, consisting of useful bits like nail varnish to combat chipped nails and ladders in stockings! Hairspray to keep your locks looking glamorous, a mini sewing kit to fix snags or tears, baby wipes to remove any marks and stains, makeup for beauty touch ups and perfume to keep you smelling wonderful.

Good company - you have a great group of friends, family you cant choose, but hopefully they will be equally as fantastic, they are here to help you celebrate, so Surround yourself with them and avoid those who are likely to be negative, profit from all of the details that you put into place during your planning. Mingle, re-connect with relatives, enjoy being newly wed, laugh at the best mans speech, be your parents pride and joy, enjoy your meal, drink your bubbly, dance at your party and enjoy the simple fact that all of your hard work has paid off, the day was a success.

Now what?-

You did it, you planned a wedding, had a wedding and come out of the other side smiling, your wedding was a success, but now what will you do? You dedicated so much time into planning the thing you felt like it was your second job, well never fear its not all over just yet…you can focus on your new life as a Mrs, open all of those generous presents, write thank you cards, honeymoon, fill out name change forms, organise wedding albums… Oh will it never end?
