double checking with wedding planner

[Ann117]

I only have one month now till my wedding!!! I was wondering if anyone has any last minute things they think I should he asking my planner. For example I read on someones PJ that they did not turn off the lights when thier lighted sorbet came in. Is there anything you with you would have double check on before your wedding?

That was me!

I'd also reconfirm any food allergies.

Do you know where your bouquet is being delivered and at what time?

I scheduled a final walkthrough of my BEO with my planner two weeks before the wedding. I wrote down all of my questions and sent them to her in advance (ie where and what time bouquet is being delivered) and went step by step through the BEO with her to ensure we were both on the same page.

Defiantly go over anything you specifically requested or is out of the norm
(did you request a signature cocktail, napkin fold etc)

as for me i would have double checked that i got a cake stand...still bothers me that they put my cake on what looked like cardboard covered in aluminum paper.

As others have said I would double check everything and trip check anything that is extremily important.

If flowers are important to you, I would ask to see your flowers, although they may not be put together when you see them. Anyhow, ask to see them so you know they are the right color or type of flower.

I say that because I didn't do that. The morning of our wedding, the flowers were delivered to our room. I was excited to see them. When I open the box(after the person who delivered them was gone) I saw they were not the color I had asked for. It was about 30 mins before I was to walk out the door for photos at GF and then on to the WP. So I had to accept the flowers and move on with the day. It still bugs me to this day. Flowers were important to me and I had sent a photo of what I wanted.

We had other floral issues. Like my father boutiner (sp?). Half the petals fell off before we walked down the isle and he only had it on his jacket for 30 mins or so. At the reception there were to be roses at my parents table in memory of my grandparents, they never got delivered.

We had some issues with floral. If I let it, it could have bugged me and messed up my day. For the day, I just pushed through it, didn't spend time thinking about it. And enjoyed the day. Because you only get one day.

And I advised all brides to be, to do this. If something doesn't go right, you guest may never know, mine didn't. It was helpful during the wedding and after to have someone know know what was going to happen through out the day. For me it was my mom. I also gave her a binder with all the contracts, photos and anything else that would be important to have on the wedding day. My mom used that maybe the day of the wedding, but defiantly the days afterwards, when I was enjoy our honeymoon, she was chatting with our planner about the floral. And yes in true Disney fashion, they took care of the problem, meaning we didn't pay for things that got messed up. But I could prove that it was messed up, they didn't just take our word for it. So make sure you have your stuff with you.

On the day of the wedding, try to take it all in. It goes so fast and you will want to remember it. One of the best things that happen for us, is a guest video the ceremony. We didn't know it at the time and they gave it to us when we got home. It was great to watch it again.

Happy Wedding and have a wonderful day.
