Real Brides Share: How to Have an Awesome Wedding Morning (Stress-Free!)

Planning a wedding is a whirlwind of excitement, but let’s be honest, it’s easy to get so caught up in the big day itself that we forget about the morning leading up to it. And trust us, the wedding morning can be amazing – or super stressful if you’re not prepared. We’ve chatted with real brides who’ve been there and done that, and they’re spilling their secrets for a smooth and memorable start to your day.

From the Brides Themselves:

• Kristina: “Don’t forget the champagne and snacks to keep you fueled! A steamer is a lifesaver for last-minute wrinkles, phone chargers are a must, and a speaker with your favorite tunes sets the mood.”
• Deanna: “Crank up the fun music! It gets everyone excited. Also, take a few minutes for yourself to just breathe and write down your thoughts. It’s a surprisingly calming thing to do in the middle of the chaos.”
• Megan: “Eat a good breakfast – seriously, you don’t want to be ‘hangry’ later. Make time to get ready with your closest friends or family – it’s a special moment. And give yourself plenty of extra time in the morning. You won’t regret it!”
• Samantha: “Schedule special moments with your loved ones. Those memories are priceless. Also, don’t party too hard the night before – you’ll want to be well-rested and glowing on your wedding day.”

Expert Advice:

• Megan: “Organize everything you can the night before to avoid last-minute scrambling. And try to relax! If you’re calm, everyone else will be too.”
• Deanna: “Make a schedule and let everyone know where they need to be and when. It’ll save you from answering a million questions.”
• Mindy: “Put your phone down, let go of the small stuff, and enjoy every single moment. It goes by so fast!”

Our Tips:

• Coffee, anyone? Make sure someone is in charge of getting the coffee flowing early in the day – everyone will thank you!
• Get organized: Work with your planner or beauty team to make a clear schedule for everyone. Share it ahead of time, and maybe even post it on a wall where everyone can see it.
• Don’t forget your feet! Have some comfy slippers or flip-flops ready for you and your bridesmaids to wear while getting ready. It’s way more fun (and photogenic) than mismatched socks!
• Emergency kit: Keep a little sewing kit and a steamer on hand for any unexpected wardrobe malfunctions.
• Savor the moments: Make sure to schedule in time for the special moments you’ll want to remember forever.

Your wedding morning should be a happy and relaxed time. With a little planning and these insider tips, you can make it happen!
