Bringing together all the wedding day details can start to feel overwhelming! We love the use of checklists because they help us feel in charge and we’ll know we haven’t forgotten anything. This is the ultimate wedding decor checklist and it’ll help you keep a handle on all the pretty details.
Wedding ceremony
Your ceremony is a pretty important part of the day! For most, it’s where you’ll do the legal bit, and for all couples, you’ll make promises to one another in front of your friends and family. That said, it’s also one of the shortest parts of the day and you shouldn’t need too much decor.

Pre-reception drinks
