Final countdown: 7 things to do in the final week of your wedding
The countdown is near, hence, the preparations for the day are absolutely essential. Keep these tips in mind:
It's just a few days to your wedding, cue the butterflies because this is an extremely exciting time, but there are a few final things on the wedding planning checklist you need to take care of before heading to the altar.
No matter how big or small a celebration you're having, there are certain things you won't want to forget in the days leading up to your big day.

Remove your makeup and jewellery first to avoid accidentally damaging or staining the dress.
