The Big Day

Relax! Give yourself plenty of time to get ready.

Have the bouquets and buttonholes delivered.

The mother-of-the-bride and the bridesmaids leave first, then the bride and her father.

The groom and the best man make their own way there and should arrive at least 30 minutes before the bride.

Speeches are usually made as coffee is served. The brides father speaks first, followed by the groom and the best man.

Traditionally the bride and groom leave the party before their guests, but don't feel that you have to. It's your wedding, so do it your way!
