Sh*t is getting real! This is it - all you have to do is pack your bags and hit the tarmac…..simple right? Perhaps. But for so many (us included), the pressure not to forget something is as high as your flight out to Italy. To help you stay organised and chilled, some wonderful brides have helped us create the checklist so you don't go commando on your special day - unless that’s your vibe!
Dress
Hand steamer
Small sewing kit
Shoes (heels & flats)
Non-greasy sun lotion
We love: La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid, REN Clean Screen Mineral SPF 30, SUPERGOOP! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 30
Make up & hair equipment
Jewellery
Self-tan
Tried before...no tango-ed brides please!
Swimwear

Bridal underwear

We love Orchard Moon, Zara, Bernadette
First Aid kit (plasters, painkillers, you know the drill)

If you're not doing gifts then a handwritten letter is always a thoughtful touch

Love a checklist? Us too! That’s why we have created Italian Wedding Tracker, the spreadsheet of all spreadsheets built for you and used by real-life wedding planners! It covers everything you need to do to plan an Italian wedding from the moment the idea forms, right through to the day itself. It also contains a budget, guest-list tracker and tools to help you choose suppliers, track your decisions and even how to create a table plan, with table sizes and all! The detail is unreal.
Bride Lauren says: “ The Italian Wedding Tracker saved us countless hours in planning. It not only tracked our wedding, it guided us through the whole process and gave us tips and tricks along the way. Without using this tool we’d definitely have made some mistakes. It’s the type of thing you don’t know you really need until it’s too late. If you buy one thing for your wedding, make it this!”
Get yours today for £44 – the best £44 you’ll spend on your wedding!
