You’re officially in the golden zone – far enough out to still be calm, close enough to start fine-tuning the moments that make your day feel unmistakably you. This is where things get personal: handwritten touches, dreamy details, and finalizing your ceremony and reception vibes.
Confirm your floral plan
- Meet with your florist to finalize installs, bouquets, boutonnieres, and tabletop florals.
- Approve mock-ups or samples if offered (especially for centerpieces or ceremony arch).
Lock in day-of timeline
- Create a rough wedding day schedule and share with your planner or coordinator.
- Confirm vendor arrival times, ceremony start, and key moments (first look, cake cutting, etc.).
Style your ceremony & reception spaces
- Finalize signage (seating chart, welcome sign, bar menu, etc.).
- Make decisions on rentals, lounge setups, and any custom builds.
Confirm catering & bar details
- Choose your final menu and signature cocktails.
- Confirm tasting dates and dietary accommodations.
Begin beauty prep
- Schedule skincare facials, hair trims, or color touch-ups.
- If you’re doing extensions, lash lifts, or tanning – now’s the time to test.
Sprinkle-in extras:
- Curate your guest book setup – polaroids, vintage typewriter, custom prompts?
- Order ceremony programs and thank-you cards.
- Plan your outfit changes (if you’re doing a reception look or late-night jacket).
What couples often skip At This Stage (but shouldn’t):
- Overlooking how long setup/tear-down will take – coordinate with venue and vendors.
- Forgetting to designate someone to bring home personal items (cards, guest book, etc.).
- Leaving guest favors to the last minute – start now if you want something handmade or customized.
Next up: 2 Months Out – the RSVPs roll in and the finish line is in sight (but there’s still time for a few magic touches).
