Brief your bridal party before the big day. Let everyone know what is happening when and allocate set tasks to each person. You'll need someone to hand out the order of service and seat guests at the ceremony, someone to hand out confetti and co-ordinate group photographs, someone to look after your bouquet and – if you aren't planning to hire a toastmaster – someone to help gather guests for key moments, such as the wedding breakfast, cutting of the cake, first dance and fireworks display.
We've joined forces with Kelly Chandler, director at the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners to give you a month-by-month guide to what you should be doing, when.
Congratulations, you're engaged! Your mind will be on all things weddings at the moment but the first thing to do before making any big decision is to decide on your budget.
Regardless of how much time you've got until the big day arrives, there's a programme to suit your needs at ESPA Life Spa at the Corinthia Hotel on Whitehall.
