I recently got married this past summer and learned many do’s and don’ts and tips and tricks. While I have so much to share, I thought I’d start by sharing my top 5 tips for your wedding morning!
- Have an awesome playlist ready!
Having a small speaker and a playlist ready for the morning is something I highly recommend you have prepared! It really sets the tone for the day and it can really get you pumped up. Add your favorite songs/love songs to set the vibe! To help you out, I created the perfect getting-ready playlist on Spotify. You can check it out here.
2. Stay hydrated and eat!
You don’t want to be dizzy and pass out on your wedding day, do you?! Drink your water and eat some food so you can be energized for your big day.
3. Make sure you have a steamer for the dresses!
I’m sure you would not like looking back at your wedding pictures and seeing you and your bridesmaid’s dresses wrinkled… so, make sure to have a steamer around. Steam your dresses the night before or the morning of. This way, your dresses are smooth and ready to go!
4. Gather your accessories and other important items!
Before your photographer arrives, you should gather your jewelry, shoes, hairpieces, etc. in one place so they can get some detailed shots. Other items you may want are perfume, wedding invitation, garter, and gifts.
5. Start getting ready earlier than you think!
You should make a timeline of your morning. Ask your makeup and hair stylist how long they think it will take per person. That will give you an idea of when you should start. Also, plan for delays. My makeup artist was late, so I ended up being late to my ceremony! Instead of being relaxed the hour before my ceremony, I felt extremely rushed. So, make that timeline and plan for unexpected delays!
Those are my top 5 tips for the morning of your wedding! Relax, have fun, and enjoy the last few minutes before you marry the love of your life!
