Hire a mobile food truck. They’re the perfect way to appease your guests’ appetites between ceremony and reception… or as a late-night sober-up snack. You’ll find stacks of options online for Melbourne, but we love Adelaide-based burgertheory.com (from $1600) and yummydogs. com.au (from $1200) for Sydneysiders.
If there was ever a time for a perfect chip-proof mani, your wedding day is it. CND’s VINYLUX (from the same brand as Shellac) is a two-part system that paints on like normal lacquer, but the Weekly Top Coat ($19.95, cndshop.com.au) seals in colour to last for around seven days. The best bit? It dissolves with regular polish remover, so no need to wrap nails in foil. Salon manis start at $20, call 1800 449 109.

BEACH CEREMONY? NO BIGGIE
Scrap the sand-covered shoes and opt for some fancy foot bling instead. The ribbon loops around the second toe and ties up around your ankle so the jewelled panel sits on top and catches the sun’s rays. Pedicure essential.
