How many times do you hear newly-weds say that they remember little about their wedding day? Months are spent planning every last detail but the day itself seems to pass by in a total whirl. So what can you do to ensure that the entire day becomes a pleasurable lifelong memory and not just a blur?

Apart from the natural nervous tension that you feel on the morning of your wedding, you will probably have the added pressure of frantic bridesmaids fighting over the bathroom, a Dad pacing up and down trying to remember his speech and a Mum running round like a headless chicken just trying to keep some sort of order. Then there is the worry of the flowers arriving on time, oh, and the cars. Has anyone seen my stockings? – Stop!!!

You should be enjoying this day, not drowning in a sea of chaos, so plan ahead to be sure of a day that is as calm and stress-free as possible. In the months running up to your big day the key words are planning and delegation. If the run-up is as stress free as you can make it then the day should be too. So relax, enjoy and above all, cherish it.

Just remember though - You don't have to do everything at once!
