Your wedding day is finally here—congratulations! It’s a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. As you prepare to head to your venue, it’s important to have all the essentials packed and ready. At Carolina Country Weddings, we know how much goes into making your day perfect, and we’re here to help you stay organized and stress-free.

Here’s a handy list of items to remember so you can breeze into your wedding day with everything you need for a flawless celebration!

1. The Wedding Day Wardrobe

• Wedding Attire: Don’t forget your dress, suit, or any accessories like veils, shoes, cufflinks, or jewelry.

• Comfortable Shoes: Bring a pair for dancing or walking around the venue (your feet will thank you!).

• Emergency Kit: Include sewing essentials, safety pins, fashion tape, and stain remover pens for any quick fixes.

2. Important Documents

• Marriage License: This is a big one—your officiant will need it!

• Vendor Contracts: Have copies of any agreements, timelines, or contact info, just in case.

3. Beauty and Grooming Essentials

• Touch-Up Kit: Make-up bag, lipstick, powder, hairspray, and anything else for keeping your look fresh throughout the day.

• Skincare Basics: Sunscreen if you’re celebrating outdoors, and maybe some blotting papers for a shine-free glow.

4. Personal Touches

• Vows: Whether handwritten or printed, have these ready to go.

• Sentimental Items: Think “something old, new, borrowed, or blue” or anything with special meaning.

5. Decor and Details

• Custom Decorations: Bring any personalized items like table numbers, signage, or guest book alternatives.

• Florals and Centerpieces: If you’ve arranged DIY flowers or decor, ensure they’re labeled and ready for setup.

• Extras: Candles, fairy lights, or any small touches that reflect your wedding theme.
  At Carolina Country Weddings, we’re here to help you style and set up your decor seamlessly, but it’s always good to have a checklist to ensure every detail is in place.

6. Snacks and Hydration

• Quick Bites: Pack light, energy-boosting snacks to keep you fueled between moments.

• Water Bottles: Staying hydrated is key, especially if you’re outdoors in our beautiful Concord, NC setting!

7. Reception Ready

• Favors: Ensure guest favors are packed and organized for easy placement at the reception.

• Music or Playlist: If you’ve prepared a personalized playlist for your ceremony or reception, make sure it’s ready to go.

• Memory Table Items: Bring framed photos, keepsakes, or other meaningful objects to create a memory table honoring loved ones or special moments.

8. Comfort Items for the Day

• Weather-Ready Gear: An umbrella or jacket, just in case!

• First Aid Kit: It’s always good to have band-aids or pain relievers on hand.

9. An Overnight Bag

If you’re staying in one of our on-site accommodations or heading straight to your honeymoon, have a bag ready with clothes, toiletries, and anything you’ll need for the next day.

10. Your Wedding Party’s Essentials

Remind your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and parents to bring their outfits, shoes, and anything else they’ll need. A checklist can help ensure everyone’s ready to go!
