The day is finally here! With all the stresses and emotions leading up to the wedding it is important that on the day you try your best to be as present as possible. This starts with the morning of your wedding. Here are some tips below to help maintain a relaxed and fun beginning to your special day.
Sleep Early
Get your beauty sleep in! Start this process weeks before your wedding day to help you ease into a routine that gives you at least 8 hours of rest. Drifting to a peaceful sleep with a calming playlist always does the trick!
Preparation
Get everything ready days before your wedding. Lay out your dress, accessories, hair and makeup have the place clean and organised ready for photography. Nothing more stressful than getting the place or yourself ready under pressure. Having a checklist handy is great help to make sure things stay in order and help keep you stress free.
Meditation
It is completely natural to feel all sorts of emotions the day of your wedding. Having a least 2-5min of time to yourself to take in deep breaths will help calm your mind for a better start to your special day.
Eat!
Don’t forget to eat. A healthy breakfast will help you get through the day. Avoid anything greasy and stodgy foods as these can make you feel bloated and uneasy will can add to your nerves.
Scents
Calming scents is always the way to go. Having your favourite scent as a room diffuser, natural oils and candles will fill the room with peace. A bonus is that you’ll always remember this scent throughout your marriage, taking you back to that morning.
Music
Your favourite songs will always put you in the right mood! Create a playlist leading up to the morning that you know will help you relieve stress!
Allow Extra Time
You never want to feel rushed, so allow for extra time! Remember things like traffic, unexpected cancellations, your family members running late, photography, allow time for each of these things!
