My wedding is next week and the nerves are creeping up! Any tips?

I'm getting married next week and I am getting SO nervous. My brain keeps going to worst case scenarios and I can't get my head right - what is the weather is shit, what if my dress isn't as nice as I thought, what if something goes wrong, what if the cake gets smooshed on delivery, what if the speeches are embarrassing, what if my pre-wedding tan is the wrong colour... I AM SPI-RAL-LING (to say the least). I've not really talked to my fiancé too much about it because I don't want to stress him out. I think it's just because of the time between having everything planned and now the day is finally around the corner I'm just reaaaally anxious! I'd love some tips to calm my nerves - I want to be excited, not one bad thought away from a panic attack! Thanks so much xxxx

All-in-one wedding venues - I NEED HELP!

I recently got engaged and am looking and a bunch of different options for venues at the moment. I've come across a few "all-in-one" wedding venues, which sounds really appealing in one sense because this would mean I don't have to worry about sourcing catering, decor, venue hire etc., which means I'd have more time to enjoy being engaged and not stress about all the suppliers I'd need to find - but how does this actually work? Are venues flexible with style and what we want or is it mostly like "this is what we have, take it or leave it"? I'm also wondering how we make our wedding unique if we're just going with one of these venues that a bunch of other couples have used - I know it's silly but I would kinda be crushed if someone had the exact same wedding day (as in like copy/pasted event) as me. How do venues mix thing up to make your day unique to you? Sorry... lots of questions in one go... PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND!!! - An already stressed out bride-to-be xx
