Wake Up Early
Start your day with a peaceful wake-up call, giving yourself plenty of time to savour the quiet moments before the whirlwind begins. If you are staying with your bridal party, ask them to set alarms too (just in case!) Your MUA/Hair Artist would have sent you a schedule of the morning ahead of the day along with the best ways to prep your skin and hair (don’t forget this!)
Eat!
Most Brides don’t want to eat a lot on the morning due to nerves however make sure to begin your day with a nutritious and energizing breakfast. Opt for a meal that includes a good balance of protein, whole grains, and fruits to keep you fuelled throughout the day (even consider sipping on a calming herbal tea to soothe any pre-wedding jitters!)

Get ready with your Bride Tribe
Whether it's your bridesmaids, close family, or both, surround yourself with the people who bring you comfort and joy. Share laughter, reminisce about special moments, and revel in the love and support that surrounds you.
Pamper Yourself
Take some time for self-care. Whether it's a warm shower, a relaxing bath, or both, pamper yourself to ensure you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
Create a Playlist (or ask your Bridesmaids to!)
What better way to start the day than with a personalised playlist, you could ask each of your Bridesmaids to pick a song that reminds them of you or a memory of time you’ve spent together. This is also a great conversation starter if you’re bridal party hasn’t met before and is sure to create some interesting stories!

Capture the Moments
Make sure you have booked your photographer/videographer to capture the last parts of the morning, these snapshots will become cherished memories. A special touch for you both is to pre-write a letter or note in a card to each other that you open on the wedding morning – this is such a beautiful moment where you can share how excited you are to see each other at the aisle and how your life together will be.
Embrace Mindfulness
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, take a moment for mindfulness. Whether it's through meditation, deep breathing exercises, or a short walk, centre yourself and focus on the present. This will help you stay calm and fully embrace the joy of the day.
Enjoy a Moment Alone
Before the chaos of the day truly begins, steal a few moments alone. Reflect on the journey that brought you to this day, feel the love that surrounds you, and relish in the excitement of the moments to come.
Your wedding morning is a chapter in the story of your love. By taking the time to savour each moment, you'll not only create beautiful memories but also set the tone for a day filled with love, joy, and enchantment. Here's to a blissful beginning and a lifetime of happiness!
