The morning of – Don’t Forget To Include These Wedding Day Activities
Your wedding is an unforgettable and exciting day filled with love and joy, however, getting ready for the ceremony can be stressful and nerve-wracking for many brides. There is often an awkward gap of time after the bridal party gets dressed and sits down for hair styling or makeup. This block of time before the ceremony can seem to stretch on for an eternity, however, this blog will cover the best ways to create long-lasting memories and kill time before you’re walking down the aisle to say your “I do’s”.
1. Wear Matching, Personalised Pyjamas When Prepping
One of the cutest and most thoughtful ways to spend your morning before your wedding ceremony is to wear matching pyjamas when getting your hair and makeup done. Your photographer can spend time capturing beautifully candid photos of your bridal party in matching outfits whilst you chat and get ready for the big moment. Matching sleepwear such as our silk robes or our signature plisse pyjama sets are perfect options for twinning with all your bridesmaids. Having these personalised for each member of your bride tribe is the perfect added touch.
2. Make Sure To Eat Some Food
Do not forget to eat food and drink water before your ceremony! It is very common for brides to feel nervous and lose their appetite before they walk down the aisle. However, it is important to fuel your body so that you have the energy to last through the whole day of celebrations. Consider catering a small breakfast or brunch to your venue so that your bridal party can make sure to fill their stomachs too!
3. Make A Commemorative Toast
If you are still looking to make memories with your bridal party before the wedding ceremony, sharing a toast can be a wonderful way to appreciate and celebrate your special day. Weddings are busy and can sometimes seem chaotic, especially during the preparation time before the ceremony. Take a moment to share a special toast with those closest to you to celebrate the day. You can take this time to thank your bridal party for sharing the day with you…this is also a great photo opportunity.
4. Pass Out Bridal Party Gifts
During your morning preparations, passing out bridal party gifts can help your bridesmaids feel appreciated during your big day. Matching bridesmaids’ gifts that can be worn during the ceremony can also be extremely thoughtful and heartfelt gifts. For example, simple necklaces or bracelets can be worn by your bridesmaids.
5. Capture Your Bridesmaids’ Reactions To A Wedding Dress Reveal
Don’t forget to have your photographer capture your bridesmaids’ reactions to your stunning wedding dress. Make sure to change into your dress in a separate room from your bridesmaids so that they can be truly surprised when they see your gorgeous dress. Taking time to do a wedding dress reveal photoshoot can leave you with lifelong memories with your closest friends. These candid photos truly capture the joy and excitement of your big day!
