Your suit should be fitted, if there is extra space at the suit shoulder then its too big.

You should be able to button the jacket conviniently

Half inch or full one inch of your shirt must show beneath your jacket by the cuff

While standing straight and your hand cant cup the lower hem of your jacket then the jacket is too long; if the jacket cant cover you rear(bum) then its too short.

No matter what happens on your wedding day, have fun, enjoy it and go with the flow. Things will go wrong and if they start worrying about those things, it would spoil their day.

These are some of the real problems that some couple face on their wedding day. Usually, when that happens, the coordinator of the day should be able to sort things out. The bride should in NO way leave her sit of position to attend to such issues.

5, AVOID CHOOSING BRIDEZILLAS By Seyi of Seyi Charles George Photography

The bridal train or the bridal party should be made up and dressed before the bride. This helps the photographer to have a mini photo session before they leave for the venue.

They are bridezillas and then they are bridesmaidszillas. They spend so much time getting ready, get their own makeup artist and sometimes throw tantrums . It's just not proper and fair to create drama on someone's wedding not yours. Please do not forget that!
