10 Tips to help you create a calm and stress-free atmosphere in your home on the morning of your Wedding

1. 👱🏻‍♀️💄💋 when planning your hair and make up schedule - get your team to have bride and mum ready before photo and video arrive. This seems early but you will get chance to touch up before departing for the church to leave fresh faced. You will want the informals shot naturally feeling and looking your best, with  hair and makeup already completed

2. 🥞 🍳 🧇Consider arranging breakfast catering for your household on the morning of the wedding to alleviate stress and prevent family members from feeling pressured to prepare meals. Local delis and suppliers can provide catering services for this purpose. Even if your mother is known for making delicious breakfast dishes, it is advisable to avoid cooking smells and greasy food odors that may linger in the house and stick to dresses and suits.

3. 👰🏻‍♀️📸We recommend having the bride and mother of the bride's dress, shoes, and accessories in one room, while the bridesmaids are in another room. Having two separate rooms for preparation is more beneficial than one, as it helps reduce stress. This setup also allows the bride and mother of the bride to spend some quality time together and have personal moments before the big day unfolds

4. ✂️ Ensure that all labels and stickers are removed from outfits and shoes well ahead of time before the big day.  Keep a spare pair of scissors handy in both rooms to remove hanging tags and any loose threads.

5. 🧵🪡 Ensure that there are needles and thread matching the color of the brides/bridesmaids' dresses available in each room. Prepare the thread on the needle the night before to be ready for any unforeseen stitching jobs that may occur on the morning of the wedding, allowing for easy repairs.

6. 🧶🪝 If your dress has buttons down the back, a crochet hook speeds the dressing process. . We always keep one handy  for such situations.

7. 🎀👗🕴️Order a clothes steamer  to keep veils and dresses wrinkle free. Also great for suits and bows on bridesmaids' dresses.

8. 🎶💃🏻Set a positive & great atmosphere on the morning of your wedding by playing music. Who has the best taste in music within the Bridal Party? Have them curate a playlist on Spotify for the occasion.

9. 🥂📸 While champagne can add fun to your pictures, if you plan to do a F1 celebration shot, it is recommended to use a cheap bottle of bubbles instead of of you cliquot or  Moet. Save the Moet for everyone to enjoy that morning.

10. 💼🧳🚘Prepare a bag the night before to place in the bridal car. Consider including a pair of flat shoes for comfort, as well as items like hairspray, a brush, and lipstick for easy touch-ups if necessary. Additionally, pack some snacks, bottles of water, and juice in the bag, as nerves may prevent some brides and grooms from eating in the morning, and they may become hungry while traveling between locations later in the day. Having these essentials on hand can be a lifesaver.
