Once you are happy with the quality of their work and the look they achieve, book him/her immediately. Give them a deposit to secure your date.

Review all your contracts with your Tulsa wedding vendors and service providers.
Choose Your Tulsa Luxury Hotel or Boutique Hotel You will need to book for your first night as a married couple and it is very important to choose a romantic setting if you are not traveling immediately after the reception.

2 months before the wedding
The big day is getting closer so make sure all is well with everyone. Make an appointment to see the photographer to make sure that he is still on track with everything. Visit the location a day or two beforehand to check the surroundings for the best results. Check your lists regularly and check off everything that has been confirmed. Give the best man a list of the names so he will be familiar with everyone and try to get him to meet them. To keep the stress down get a regular massage treatment.
Send out Thank You Cards ~ Send out the "thank you" cards as your wedding gifts arrive to save yourself time. The guests appreciate it and know their gifts have arrived safely. Continue to see your hairdresser and get regular massages to cope with the stress. If your hair stylist is going to your ceremony location make sure you are in their appointment book. Try on your veil or tiara with your new wedding updo or hairstyle. See what your makeup will look like and if you have decided to go to a salon, confirm your booking with your favorite hair stylist. If you are having highlights or color make sure it is in plenty of time before the wedding day.
Book the Bachelorette Party ~ Choose a party that you will really enjoy. Your friends may help you put on this one. A meal in a fine restaurant or a visit to a pub that provides good food are the most popular choices. You can even get a limo in Tulsa to accommodate everyone. You may even go to a day spa with all your friends and then head out for a night on the town. Make sure you let everyone know how the attire of the evening will be or type of dress that is suitable for the occasion. Try to have the party about a week before the wedding..
Book the Bachelor Party
This is the grooms "last fling" as a single man before becoming becoming a married man with all the responsibilities that marriage entails. Usually they are held in a local pub where all the friends of groom gather and traditionally it is arranged and organized by the best man who tries to plan the Bachelor party a while before the wedding day itself. Let everyone know attending the party how to dress. Try not to have the party the night before the wedding day. A groom attending his wedding still suffering a bad hangover from the night before, is not a good start for any marriage!

1 Month Before the Wedding ~
Let everyone know what to expect before the wedding. Let your bank know when you will be changing your name and fill out the proper paper work. Check the list for all the guests who will definitely be there and keep the reception and caterer informed if the numbers change.
Check the Grooms Wardrobe, Maid of Honor & Bridesmaids Dresses ~ Make sure the fittings and making of the bridesmaids dresses are on target. Decide on their head dresses and shoes, then buy them. Make sure the groom and best man's tuxedos or outfits have been bought or ordered. If renting them check they have the correct sizes. Make sure the groom gets sized for his tux, it has been known for the groom to wear an ill fitting suit and because no one checked with the company. If necessary, go to the shop in person and insist they check. For recommendations on renting a tuxedo in Oklahoma go to our Tuxedos page.
The Final Wedding Dress Fitting ~ If the brides weight fluctuates before the wedding allow for 1 more fitting. It would be a disaster if your dress did not fit properly on the day of her wedding. Take your underwear, shoes, tiara and jewelry with you. If any alterations are needed, there is plenty of time to get it worked out.
The Final Guest List ~ By now you should have the final list of all the guests who will be present. A head count may be required to give to your caterer. There is always someone who will reply at last minute, so be prepared. Send the list to the printers as they will require the final list if you are having the place cards printed. If you are going to write them yourselves, it will take quite a time. Sometimes it's best to hire a professional or someone who can do calligraphy. Figure out who will be sitting where at the reception. Consult both sets of parents. Some family situations can be quite complicated, so take into aClickCount people who are likely to meet at the wedding, who have been divorced and have new partners. Be considerate of broken families. This can be a daunting task.
Buy The License
Buy the Certificate of License ~ from the registrar if you are getting married in a licensed building or registry office in Oklahoma. You can take care of any chapel or church fees at this time and ensure that the best man is informed of all his duties and he is well prepared. This would be a good time to let him hang on to the wedding rings.

- 2 Weeks Before the Wedding ~ You have two weeks left before your wedding day in Tulsa. And if you have been keeping up with your checklists then it is best to keep everything going smoothly by checking on any last minute details. So to keep the anxiety down, here is the final checklist of items you need to take care of two weeks before the day.
* If you haven't done so already, choose your hairstyle and makeup and schedule your appointment with your Tulsa salon or hairstylist. Also, if you were unable to do so last month, do a trial run with your hairstylist to make sure that the style you have chosen fits you. Or, if you will be doing your own hair and makeup, fix your hair and makeup at this time and try your veil on to see how much time you will need to fix yourself up on your wedding day.
* Pick up your wedding dress and try it on to make sure the alterations are perfect. Also, give your bridesmaids a call to ensure they have received their gowns and that they fit, as well. This is the time for any last minute alterations so there are no surprises on your big day.
* If you and your fiance will be giving toasts at the reception and rehearsal dinner to your parents, guests and wedding party, start writing them now.
* Your Tulsa wedding caterer will probably ask for a final headcount. If you have not received all of the RSVP's back, call the people who have not yet contacted you to see if they will be attending the wedding or not.
* At the two-week mark, send out your rehearsal dinner invitations to all of those who will be attending, including the entire wedding party, the officiant and parents of the bride and groom. Sometimes if it is just a few family and friends you can call them to see if they will be available on that day and offer an invitation by email or phone. Make sure they know where the rehearsal dinner in Tulsa will be and include any directions to the sites and a contact number, in case your guests get lost.
* Contact all of your wedding vendors including: your Tulsa florist, Tulsa caterer, Tulsa wedding cake baker, Tulsa venue site, Tulsa DJ and Tulsa wedding photographer and Tulsa videographer to make sure of delivery times, setup times, pick-up times and to answer any final questions. Be prepared to make your final payments this week, so have your finances ready when you call 2 weeks before.
* If you have not ordered place cards for your seating at the reception, make your final seating arrangements plan and design and complete your place cards if you choose to have seating arrangements.
* If you are planning on taking your soon-to-be husband's name, start filling out all necessary paperwork to do so, including paperwork for your driver's license, social security card, credit cards, loans and anything else where your maiden name was used.
* Before you and your spouse are off on your honeymoon, you will want to make copies of all important papers and documents, including copies of your trip or itinerary, passports (if you will be using them), hotel information and credit card numbers (in case they get lost or stolen). Give these copies to a friend or relative, along with your own contact information (cell phone number, in case they need to reach you).
- 1 Week Before the Wedding ~It is time to pamper yourself with a relaxing massage at one of Tulsa's finest Spas, get a manicure, pedicure and a facial. Have the groom get a haircut.
Give final count to the reception facility, caterer and bartending service in Tulsa. Remind men in the wedding party to pick up their Tulsa tuxedos or formal wear and to make sure everything fits.
Make a schedule outlining the details of the wedding day and give a copy to each person in the wedding party at your rehearsal. If you hired a Tulsa wedding planner they should be aware of this.
* Pack for your honeymoon.
* Mail "thank you" gifts
* Attend the rehearsal with the minister/officiant, and wedding party.
* Enjoy your rehearsal dinner with family and friends.
* Set aside a quiet time to exchange gifts with your fiance.
* Do a test run on your make-up and make sure you test out your beauty products several times -
you wouldn't want to find out the morning of your wedding that you're allergic!
* Take long, soaking, relaxing, warm bath before going to bed each night.
* Do your best to get to bed early the night before your wedding.
The day before the wedding: Go over the times and places everyone is going to meet and make sure everyone know what time the bridesmaids are to meet, flower girl, ring bearer, mother's, father's and where. If you are all gathering for a hair or makeup appointment, or breakfast, remind everyone.
Specify on your list who should be there.
Also what time the groomsmen are to meet, and where. Once again, it is vital for the men in your party to know if they are meeting the groom for breakfast, lunch, or just to get ready on their own.
Make sure everyone knows the order of the recession. The wedding party once again needs to know and be reminded when to leave and who to follow.
Post-ceremony directions. These include directing your guests to the mingling area, or otherwise, assigning the person who will be gathering your family and friends for group portraits, and a plan for the evening. Include information on when dinner is and any speeches, slide shows, announcements or otherwise.
Which side of the ceremony seating is reserved for the bride's side, and which side for the groom's. The ushers will need to know where everyone is sitting so they can properly seat your guests.
This includes things like handing out rice or bubbles, handing out programs, ensuring that all members of the wedding party have their bouquets and/or boutaineers, seating the guests, fixing the bride's dress, keeping the rings safe, and any special announcements that need to be made by the wedding party.
Everyone needs to know the order of the procession. Your party needs to know who goes first, who goes last, and everything in between. Tell them to ensure they are marching slowly, so the Tulsa photographer can get good pictures. Make sure you include instructions on where your flower girl and ring bearer go- do they stand with you or sit with their parents? Also, don't forget to include the order you want the wedding party to stand in up at the front. Your last dress rehearsal at the church is usually the day before the ceremony but if it is not these reminders will help everyone to know what to do on the day of the wedding.
Your Tulsa Wedding Day ~ The big day has arrived so having a wedding-day to-do list is vital for every bride and groom. The happy couple must keep their wedding party informed. Here are some tips on the important items to include and remember on the wedding day to-do list.
More helpful tips that will help you with your big Day:
- Eat a good breakfast. It will be a long day.
- Give envelopes with fees and gratuities to the assigned person for distribution at the wedding.
- If you did not get a manicure, apply your fingernail polish and give it plenty of time for drying.
- Make sure you allow plenty of time for your makeup to be applied.
Want to look perfect on your Tulsa wedding day?
Here are few easy tips for wedding day:
* Use waterproof eye makeup. Most brides cry at their weddings. Even if you don't think you're the crying type, with so many waterproof products out there, why take a chance?
* Use a long-lasting lipstick. When they first came out, most were dry and not suitable for a day-filled with close-ups and endless congratulatory kisses. Apply the lip color once at the beginning of the day, and remoisturize a couple of times to keep lips luscious and picture-perfect.
* Have a "spot checker". This could be your maid of honor or another person whose makeup style is similar to your own (your mother is another good candidate.) Ask them to keep an eye on you and let you know if you need a touch up.
* Stash backups such as an emergency kit at the changing room or facility at the venue such as your makeup powder to pat shiny noses, clear nail polish to repair any stocking runs, a hairbrush or hairspray, lipstick, and a sewing kit, along with anything else you think you or your bridesmaids might need.
More helpful tips for your wedding day!
- Start dressing at least 45 minutes to an hour before you begin taking pictures.
- Remember to pack an "beauty bag" to take to the wedding
- Have the best man be responsible for bringing the marriage license to the wedding. Make arrangement with the minister/officiant to sign your marriage license with two witnesses "immediately" after the ceremony.
- Do your best to relax. If you are nervous, sit quietly alone for five minutes and take a few deep breathes and know that everything is going to work out great.
- Enjoy your very special day! And remember, it is wise to plan and "do" as much as you can - far in advance. Remember to Relax! A relaxed bride is a beautiful bride. A wedding succeeds as long as you end up married at the end of the day. Every thing else is just gravy.
