To help you start your special day on the right note, here are five essential tips to make your wedding morning unforgettable.
- Start with a Nourishing Breakfast
You may feel too excited to eat, but trust me- fuelling your body is key to keeping your energy up throughout the day. With all the emotions, movement and excitement, you’ll want a solid foundation to keep you going. It will give you a chance to sit down with your to special people who are with you to chat about the exciting day ahead. It will give you a chance to relax and truly take the day in.
Opt for a filling breakfast to give you lasting energy. And don’t forget to stay hydrated, especially if you’re planning to celebrate with champagne later. A favourite is always a lovely selection of pastries and fruits!
- Give Yourself Plenty of Time for Hair, Makeup and Dressing
Time flies on your wedding morning, and the last thing you want is to feel rushed. Allocate more time than you think you’ll need for hair, makeup and getting into your dress. You will be able to speak to your makeup artist (if you’re having one) and they will give you a timeline of your hair and makeup.

Hair and makeup can take longer than expected, especially with last-minute tweaks and touch-ups. You’ll also want to savor the moment when you put on your dress- it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so take it slow and enjoy every second. Usually the photographers recommend an hour before the ceremony so you have time to capture all the special moments.
Bonus tip: Have everything you need laid out and ready to avoid last-minute scrambling!

- Surround Yourself with the Right People
Your wedding morning should be filled with love, laughter and positive energy. Choose to get ready with people who make you feel happy and calm- whether it’s your bridal party, family members or closest friends.
A supportive atmosphere will keep the nerves at bay and make the morning even more enjoyable. Play your favourite playlist, take fun photos and soak in the beautiful moments with the people who mean the most to you.
- Stay Organised to Reduce Stress
One of the easiest ways to keep your wedding morning stress-free is to be super organised.
The night before, lay out everything you’ll need- your dress, shoes, accessories, vows, and anything else important. Check your wedding day timeline and communicate with your wedding planner or coordinator so that everything runs smoothly.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, delegate tasks to your bridal party or family. They’ll be happy to help!
- Take a Moment for Yourself
Before you step into your dress and walk down the aisle, pause for a moment. Take deep breaths, journal your feelings, listen to a favourite song or simply sit in silence and appreciate the significance of the day.
This is your wedding- your love story, your special moment. Take it in fully.
Enjoy Every Second!
