As your wedding day approaches, so many things are running through your mind. Often it is big picture things; not the fact that you may break your nail and need a backup or that you do indeed need a cake knife and scoop for cutting the cake as Mr. and Mrs. Well, after working as a wedding planner for a year, I witnessed a running list of things forgotten day-of that caused quite a chaotic hour or two. But, do not fret. I have compiled a detailed list of everything to pack for a seamless, well-prepped day!
