Wedding Day Morning – Do's & Don'ts
The morning of the wedding is the busiest and most stressful time for brides. Small tasks that seem insignificant can easily make her feel confused, not knowing what to do first or next. To help her prepare smoothly and avoid confusion, here are some important things brides should and should not do on this special morning.
Create a Detailed and Clear Schedule
Having a detailed schedule for the wedding day is crucial to ensure everything goes as planned. The bride needs to prepare in advance with the wedding planner (if any) or at least inform the photographer about the timing and activities throughout the day. The schedule should be well-organized, especially when it comes to makeup time. Bridal makeup usually takes 60 to 90 minutes, while makeup for bridesmaids only takes about 30 to 45 minutes. A clear schedule will help reduce stress and ensure everything happens on time without delays.
Ensure the Wedding Dress and Veil Are Ready
The wedding dress and veil are essential items that cannot be missed on the big day. The bride should prepare and organize them early in the morning, placing them in a location where they can easily be found. Hang them up high to avoid tangling or wrinkles. Keeping the dress and veil ready will save time and reduce stress during the morning preparations.
Prepare Breakfast for the Bride and Family
Nothing is worse than everyone in the family or bridesmaids being involved in activities while hungry. A light breakfast will help everyone maintain energy and a relaxed spirit. Simple foods like bread, yogurt, and fruit are enough to ensure no one is too hungry or overly full, avoiding fatigue or discomfort throughout the morning.
Don’t Drink Too Much Water
While it’s important to stay hydrated, the bride should avoid drinking too much water in the morning. Drinking excessive amounts can lead to frequent bathroom trips, which is inconvenient when wearing a wedding dress. Just drink enough to stay hydrated and avoid dehydration.
Play Music to Relax
Preparing a playlist of favorite songs to play throughout the morning is a great idea. Not only does it create a joyful, relaxed atmosphere for everyone, but music also helps reduce stress, making the bride and family feel more at ease. Choose light or cheerful tunes to make the wedding day even more special.
Prepare Electrical Outlets in Advance
One issue many brides overlook is preparing enough electrical outlets. On the wedding day, many devices need to be used, such as hairdryers, phones for photos, and the wedding dress iron. If there aren't enough outlets, it could cause issues and delay the schedule. Ensure that the preparation room has enough outlets for everyone to charge phones or use necessary devices.
Prepare an “Emergency Kit”
Many unexpected situations can arise on the morning of the wedding. Nails might get scratched, the dress might get dirty, or hair could lose its shape. That’s why an "emergency kit" is essential. Prepare a small box with necessary items such as band-aids, sewing thread, hair gel, tissues, stain remover, tweezers, and other essentials. These will help the bride and bridesmaids handle emergencies quickly.
Bring Gifts for the Bridesmaids
A small gift for the bridesmaids after the ceremony is a great way for the bride to show appreciation for their help. These gifts could be cute bracelets, cosmetics, or other items that the bride finds suitable. Don’t forget to prepare the gifts in advance and make sure they are carefully wrapped for presentation at the right moment.
