Wedding

Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries.
31. Are you covered
Are you covered in case anything goes amiss? If you are worried, you should get insurance. (And even if you aren't worried, you should still get insurance)
32. Classics
Look for inspiration in unconventional places. You can get inspired by the classics - flowers, decorations, your dress - but why not try something a bit different and take inspiration from films and other non-wedding related places?
33. Weather Warning
Don't, whatever you do, look at the weather forecast. Nothing good can come of it, and what is more: you can't change it. By all means have a Plan B, but love it as much as Plan A.
34. The name of the game
No matter what you may think, you can't handle everything by yourself - as amazing as you may be. Weddings are major endeavours, so enlist friends and family to help make place cards, tie bows onto favours, and run errands - delegation is the name of the game. Play it!
35. Bridesmaids
When it comes to choosing your bridal party make sure you pick wisely: the work that comes with being a bridesmaid is more than it may seem at first. And don't feel you must choose an equal number of men and women. Loved ones don't come in boxed sets, and neither should your wedding party!
36. Pet Love
Love your pet? There are all sorts of way you can involve in the Big Day - including making them the ring bearer! Or include them in your wedding day pictures - so cute!
37. Sign on the dotted line
When signing any contract with suppliers check that everything you want is included. And ask at least two people to take a look at it too - sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes to see loopholes!
38. Take it easy
Do you have an enthusiastic wedding helper? If you find yourself disagreeing for the sake of it take a step back and count to ten. Your life will be 10 times easier with their aid, you just need to find out how to work together
39. Wedding Day Look
Road-test your dress with underwear. You don't want to find that any and all kinds of underwear can be spotted through your dress on the Big Day. And you don't want to spend your entire wedding day hiding the straps of your bra, either
40. Party Dress
Remember: you have to be able to move in your dress! A body-skimming, silk sheath dress, slashed to the thigh, may be beautiful but it will not be practical. You want to be able to dance the night away, don't you?
