Top Tips

  • Stay the night before - that way you are exactly where you need to be just when you roll out of bed!

  • If the budget allows pick a room that has a separate space for your final getting ready touches, that way you won't be putting your dress on in a room that's full of everyones stuff - it can get pretty messy!
