Fall brides are in their countdown!

It may be the middle of summer, but all you brides planning a fall wedding are getting close to your big day! Make sure you’ve got all those last minute details settled.

Get that checklist out: All those lists you made when you first got engaged? Make sure you’ve actually checked the things on them. Perhaps you’re a bride who stayed up-to-date with your wedding planner, or maybe the rest of your life got busy. Now’s the time to review the list and make sure something hasn’t slipped through the cracks.

Check in with your vendors: Have you given your wedding venue everything they need? When do they need the really-final-this-time-I-mean-it head count? Have you confirmed all your times and dates with your photographer, DJ, band, officiant?

Marriage license: You need this. Check in with the Town Clerk in the town you’re getting married. You need ID and to pay a fee. For brides getting married at the Heritage, you’ll need to go to the Southbury Town Clerk’s office:

All those last minute details: Clear out all the clutter, and make just your last minute-lists. Things like engraving for bridesmaids’ or groomsmen’s gifts, making sure all your honeymoon plans are set, making an emergency kit for the big day (we recommend Tide-to-go sticks, needle and thread, bobby pins, tampons, hairspray, umbrella and breath mints) -- all those small details. A fresh list will help you focus on the last things you need to do.

Relax and take time for yourselves: Yes, it’s important that everything gets done, but it’s also important for you to reconnect as a couple. Set aside an afternoon for a massage, go out to a nice dinner – and promise not to do any wedding planning talk! If you find you’re getting too bogged down in the nitty-gritty of wedding planning, take the time to remember why you’re getting married in the first place!
