Planning your wedding can be exhausting. For many brides, commissioning the help of others sounds like a good idea at first, but they then later find that they want to be in control of every aspect of their special day, right down to the choice of table linens and centerpiece placement. While there is nothing wrong with this, it can become a bit overwhelming and, without a plan, almost impossible.
If you are busy planning your wedding, keep reading for a helpful tick list that will take you month by month through the planning of your big day. From 12 months, to the final week before your wedding, here is your 2019 Bridal tick list:
