Wedding Tips to Remember

October 8, 2005Posted By weddings

It is so easy to get caught up in the day that you can forget to do the little things that can make your day even more special.

Here are 8 tips to make your wedding wonderful:

1) Keep a sense of humor about you.
Things will go wrong on your wedding day that come out of nowhere. You've done all the planning so that you could enjoy the wedding day. Now is the time to stop worrying and start enjoying. Mistakes happen. If you can laugh them off, you will have much fonder memories of your wedding. Don't expect perfection. If something really is upsetting, walk away. You can deal with any serious problems when you are back from your honeymoon.

2) Stay glued to each other during the reception.
It is very easy for a bride and a groom to get pulled apart during the wedding reception. Families and friends all want to spend some time with each of you and it is easy to get pulled apart. Once you get pulled apart, it can be hard to find your way back to each other again. Hold hands throughout the reception so you can stay together all night long.

3) Trust the professionals to do their jobs.
You won't have any fun if you are trying to micro-manage your vendors. They are professionals who do this on a week in and week out basis. They get paid to do the worrying so that you can relax and enjoy your wedding day.

4) Mingle and Move.
It is very easy to get tied up with a family member or friend who you haven't seen in a while. Keep moving until you've at least had a chance to greet each and every guest at your wedding. They all deserve a chance to admire the bride up close.

5) Take photo's early.
Lighting is generally better earlier in the day, and so is your makeup, your hair, and your groom. Photo shoots can be time consuming and tiresome, and if not taken care of early on you might end up cutting short the session so you can get back to the reception.

6) Eat plenty of food.
You no longer have to worry about fitting into that dress - you are wearing it! There is so much going on during a wedding that Bride's often forget about daytime meals, and get interrupted during dinner. You will have more energy and be happier throughout the wedding if you enjoy the food and keep yourself topped off with hors d'oeuvres. As much as it is a wonderful day, it is hard on your body. Take care of yourself.

7) Don't forget the makeup.
You will need to touch yourself up frequently, so keep a purse with some supplies handy. Lot's of hugs and kisses means that your makeup will be frequently mussed. Keep a pocket mirror as well, as it can be difficult to work your way through the crowd to the powder room. Sometimes it's easier to find a nearby corner where you can get a little bit of privacy to touch up.

8) If you drink, do so in moderation.
With all the celebrating it is easy to go overboard without realizing it. This is a high energy day, highly stressful for most brides, and with more excercise happening than you realize. Your tolerance levels are below normal, so be aware of how much you consume.
