Thoughts of Summer - Wedding Day Hints for the Bride

Brides sometimes forget a very important thing when planning their wedding - to take care of themselves on the day of their wedding so that they can relax and enjoy all the festivities.  Even if you have a wedding planner or have done all the planning and preparation by yourself, it's now the big day and you deserve to have as much fun as all of your guests.  Simple but practical wedding day tips can help the bride enjoy her day to the fullest.

Making Up - Create your wedding day make-up bag two weeks before the wedding.

Do a complete test of your wedding-day make-up, hairdo and shoes, keep this wedding-day look for as long as you expect to have it on on your wedding day, this way you will know your look will "go the distance."


Also put  together a second  little make-up bag for any touch ups on wedding day to keep you looking your  very best.  Have a friend, bridesmaid, or family member hang onto this little touch up make-up bag. Note: be sure to use waterproof mascara, and remember to pack the hairspray!

"Emergency" Kit"  -filled with items you may need on your wedding day.  Fill a small bag with items such as a power bar, travel size sewing kit, bottle water, clear nail polish, an extra set of panty hose or stockings, throat lozenges, aspirin, tissues, breath mints, tampons, hand cream or lotion, and band-aids.



Food - Always start out your wedding day with healthy and filling food.  Seriously consider having something to eat before the wedding, no matter how worried you are about how the dress fits!  Most brides do not get to enjoy the wedding reception meal.  Your wedding day will be long, memorable and wonerful so you will want to have plenty of energy, so you can keep dancing and socializing for hours!  It's a good idea to pre-arrange to have something to eat waiting for you honeymoon hotel.


Shoes  - Be sure to practice walking in the shoes you'll be wearing for the ceremony. Take a test run in the shoes and the wedding gown and get used to both.  Your  stunning, sexy, strappy, ultra-high heels that work perfectly with your wedding gown and great for the ceremony and pictures may not be comfortable for all the reception activities so.....


  Kick them off and wear pretty more comfortable shoes for the reception
so that you can dance the night away worry free.




Point Person - Keep track of wedding day times with an itinerary and a point person.  You should have an itinerary for the big day. Make copies, give them to a few good friends and/or close family members, then choose someone to be the "point person" who will make sure things are running smoothly. So you can focus more on greeting all of your out-of-town guests and brand new in-laws instead of worrying what times it is an what's next on the agenda.
