Your wedding day will be filled with countless beautiful moments, such as the quiet excitement of getting ready or the joy of celebrating with your loved ones. But even the most magical day can be derailed by small, easily preventable discomforts. A tight gown, sore feet, or an empty stomach can quickly turn excitement into frustration. That’s why it’s so important to think through the little details in advance. These little details might not seem significant now, but they can make all the difference in how you feel and enjoy your day. Here are a few thoughtful tips to help ensure your wedding day experience is as joyful and comfortable as it is memorable.
Make Sure (in Advance) Your Wedding Attire Doesn’t Make You Feel Uncomfortable
Break in your shoes. Test run your undergarments. And, avoid waiting until the week of your wedding to wear contacts in your eyes for the first time.
Test Drive Your Wedding Day Attire
Before you purchase your wedding gown or your suit, make sure you are comfortable in it. When you try it on, walk back and forth around the room. Does the outfit feel too heavy or too restrictive? Try dancing around the room. Does the outfit allow you raise your arms up high? Can you bend over in this outfit or sit down? Finally, pretend you are hugging someone in the outfit. You want to be sure that your gown or suit doesn’t bunch up or feel too tight when you hug, because you will be doing a lot of that on your wedding day.
Schedule Moments When You Can Consume Somme Protein on Your Wedding Day
Oh, I get it. You don’t want to eat because you are nervous. Or, are you afraid you will feel bloated? Are you concerned that you will get food stuck in your teeth? Well, I got news for you — You don’t want to spend your wedding day feeling dizzy, loopy or nauseous either. Ask your someone you trust to keep a small mirror on their person so you an check your teeth. Then, eat some protein in peace before your wedding begins. It will take you a long way.
Be Mindful of the Weight of Your Wedding Bouquet
When I was planning my own wedding, I saw a bouquet in a Martha Stewart magazine. I just had to have it. This bouquet was stunning! It was a hand-tied bouquet of 40 white peonies and blush-colored roses. I considered this bouquet perfection until I picked it up. As a result, I spent the majority of my wedding day feeling like I was lifting weights. I still loved the bouquet, but I was miserable from holding it all day, and I couldn’t wait to get rid it.
Assign Someone to Hold On To Your Important Stuff
There are certain mundane items you must have on hand during your wedding day. Your day will go a little smoother if a responsible friend or family member is holding onto these items for you. These items may include your marriage license, driver’s license, your medication (if needed), your medical insurance and possibly your house and car keys.
Stay Hydrated on Your Wedding Day
Being hydrated helps your skin retain its moisture. It helps you to avoid bad breath. It helps you to minimize muscle cramps.
Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff on Your Wedding Day
Perfection is unattainable. Coming to terms with the fact that little things might happen will make your day perfect.
