5 Tips for Calm
Happy Monday everyone. With spring well underway the wedding season feels just around the corner, so today’s post is 5 planning tricks for a stress-free wedding day. Enjoy!
Regardless of your plans; the style of your wedding, the size of your budget, your guests numbers etc, if you don’t ‘let go’ on the morning of your wedding, you won’t enjoy the day to the full. It’s too late to change things now and the details are no longer worth worrying about. Sit back, soak up the atmosphere and remember the real reason you’re getting married. The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed your guests will be and the better atmosphere your whole day will have.
Think carefully about who you would like to be present on the morning of your wedding. Are you the type of person who loves the excitement of a crowd or will too many people make you panic? You need enough people to create an atmosphere but not too many that it becomes overwhelming.
Carefully consider the space you’ll have for preparations. A bride, bridesmaids, a mother or two, a hair stylist, makeup artist, and a big white dress can make the largest of hotel suites feel cramped and lead to less than serene preparations.
Don’t underestimate how long it’ll take to get into your dress. Nervous fingers and complicated fastenings can mean this seemingly easy task takes much longer than planned. Aim to be ready 30 – 45 minutes before you absolutely need to be so there’s some buffer time just in case preparations overrun.
Just before walking down the aisle, take a second to make sure your dress, veil, lipstick etc are all perfectly in place. Then take a deep breath, straighten your posture, pull your stomach in and slowly walk down the aisle. Don’t be tempted to rush this part and walk too quickly; it’s your moment, enjoy it!
