(SALEM, Ore.) - Whether you plan to have a big or small wedding, at some point stress will be inevitable. One of the best ways to try and reduce the constant mini-panic moments is to make sure you write a list as early as possible in the planning process.

While we will all remember to shop for a wedding dress, many times it's the little things we forget. Here are some to help you start thinking about some of the small details you don't want to overlook.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

Even if you have a low-key wedding, you will find the day to be very long, and your feet will probably hurt no matter how hard you try to avoid it.

Most wedding dresses look best with high heels or stilettos, but after the pictures are done, you might want to change into some flats for part of the reception. It can be tough to find a nice pair of wedding flats so make sure you add it to your list right away!

The Secret Key To Perfect Pictures

You would be surprised at how stress-free it is to do this if you add it to your wish list and get to thinking about what you want as early as possible!

Much of the focus is placed on the bridal party particularly bridesmaid dresses, and flower girl dresses can often be unintentionally overlooked and left to the last minute.

To avoid a disharmonious or overdressed look for flower girls it's generally safest to go with a neutral color, and many brides will choose plain white, but ivory flower girl dresses should not be overlooked! Ivory flower girl dresses are a fantastic alternative, as they will not clash with the colors the bridal party is wearing or draw the eye away from the white of the wedding dress.

The Send-Off Supplies

This can be avoided, just add one more thing to your plan.

Traditionally, rice or confetti was thrown at a couple as they left a church, but this has been banned by many venues due to the mess and trip hazard. Some great alternatives to consider that look great in pictures are bubbles or flower petals for daytime weddings, or sparklers for evening weddings.

Whichever you choose, be sure to make sure you don't forget this small, yet, important detail if you want your photographer to capture some genuinely Insta-worthy snaps!
