10 Tips on Prepping for the Wedding Day

Tip 1

Create a timeline for your big day. Creating a timeline of when events should start and stop is a good way to help you stay organized and on time. Even if you aren’t positive on when events are going to end, focus on when events are supposed to start so you can have a general idea.

Tip 2

Set time aside to do a practice run for getting ready a few days before the wedding so you know how much time it will take you to get ready before the wedding and keep you on track.

Tip 3

Breakfast is incredibly important, DON’T skip it because it may be the only meal you eat all day. It doesn’t need to be heavy in case you are worried about bloating, so at least eat a light breakfast.

Music! Have a playlist set for the morning of your wedding to help you out and de-stress. Having songs that you love will make you even more excited for your big day and help forget about the nerves.
