Wedding Day Guide for the Bride!
It is the morning of your big day, the day you’ve been waiting all your life! In just a few hours you’ll be on your way to the ceremony to become a “Mrs.”. Quite the nerve-wracking scenario right? It is absolutely paramount that you don’t let these nerves get to you. It is your wedding day and you should savour each and every moment of it. It’ll whizz by even before you know it, so enjoy every second of it. So, here are a few tips which will help you navigate and enjoy your wedding day.
Rehearse your wedding smile.
With all the cameras around you, it is really important that you rehearse your default wedding smile. Practice smiling by yourself in the mirror or just practice it on your besties. Just make sure that those pearly whites dazzle your guests and cameras alike!
Another pro tip; always keep a few of your besties beside you for some spontaneous laughs. Gotta keep the candid game on point!
Know how and when to end a conversation
It’s your wedding day, you are literally the belle of the ball, so you wouldn’t have trouble in starting a conversation. You’ll be in and out of conversations and sometimes it might lead to some awkward moments. So, the skill you should enhance, communication-wise, is ending a conversation. Just a simple “ Thank you so much for coming, hope you enjoyed the function.” can go a long way. Your guests would feel much more welcome and comfortable. Also, try to keep your conversation length to a minimum and try to communicate with more people.
Practice a few steps with your fiance for the couple dance
Even if Dancing isn’t quite your mojo, try a few steps with your fiance. It needn’t be the most complicated dance ever. It could be a simple dance with really easy steps. The point is that you both move in a coordinated and graceful manner. It creates a special bonding moment between you two which results in some everlasting memories.
Don’t go hungry!
An empty stomach breeds frustration. Never stay hungry at your own wedding. Eat a few appetizers and don’t forget your breakfast. Going through a day full of excitement can be tiresome on an empty stomach.
Pro tip: Assign a couple of your friends with the task of keeping you fed because god knows you need it!
Avoid unnecessary stress
This is a big one. It is very important that you don’t get stressed out about minor details and small mistakes. The easiest way to avoid stress on your wedding day is to hire the best wedding planner you could find. Hiring a wedding planner takes the stress off your shoulder and you could enjoy your wonderful day in its full splendour. You wouldn’t have to worry about the minutest details, the wedding planner would already have a team working on it. So it is just smooth sailing all around. This is not a last minute decision, so hire your wedding planner in advance and ensure a stress-free wedding.
Drink Responsibly, also have fun!
Consume alcohol within reason. Don’t go overboard. You don’t want to wake up with blurry memories of your wedding day, the next day. Also, if you are a teetotaller, don’t think you have to drink alcohol on your wedding day to have fun. Just be yourself, dance with your besties and fiance, engage with your guests, play a few wedding games and everything will be fine.
Treat yourself with some “ME” time
A day filled with constant conversations, interactions and engagement can be too much any person. Try to find some alone time for yourself. Sit down and breath in the excitement. If you prefer some alone time, by all means, take it. It’s your day and you should make sure that you are always mentally and physically recharged.
Follow these guidelines to have a smooth start to your happily ever after!
