Be prepared to have the best day ever

HERE are some top tips to make your dream day come true.

1. Brides — book your hair and make-up a bit earlier than you think you need. There may be unforeseen eventualities, which require extra time, and if they are swift and you are ready early, you can always have an extra glass of champagne.

2. Take the labels off your shoes before the day and before you have had your nails done!

3. When you’re having your hair styled on your wedding day, wear a shirt. Many brides wear a T-shirt, and then struggle to get it over their newly coiffured head. If you wear a shirt it can be unbuttoned and will not damage your hairdo.

4. Grooms — Your buttonhole is traditionally worn on your left lapel — whichever side you prefer, ensure that you and your ushers all wear their buttonholes on the same side.
