The only things I have to add so far is create a detailed timeline & buy touch-up make-up (gloss or lip color at the very least).

The crazy thing is - is that the list doesn''t look all that daunting (to someone who''s never planned a wedding), until you realize how much research goes into every single one of those decisions.
