Its been a long emotional day and their baby daughter has just flown the nest. It's no wonder the parents often end up in tears at the end of the night. One thing that really helps: make sure you say a really good goodbye. Take time to talk to both sets of parents before the announcement is made that you're leaving (and you get swamped by other guests). 

There are loads of other fun ways to say goodbye to everyone, we've seen plenty of tunnels, confetti, sparklers even special dances which allow you to greet each of your guests.

We must have mentioned this to each of our brides; because its something to focus on in the most nervous minute of the big day. As you walk down the aisle make sure your thumb is inline with your belly button, which will make sure your flowers are at the right height. It'll help you to have something to think about, something to hold and stop you looking really nervous with your flowers hiding your face! 

If you're having an unusually shaped bouquet you might want to ask your florist how best to hold it, after all they designed it so they'll know what they had planned.
