You’ve spent hours, weeks, months planning your wedding day and now it’s here and you’re worried you’re going to be a panicked mess!
It’s totally normal to feel stressed or anxious about how you’re going to stay calm throughout your wedding day – all eyes will be on you, you’ve spent a lot of money, so many people will be in attendance – it can be overwhelming! Don’t worry – we have your back! Here are five tips to help you stay calm and enjoy every moment of your wedding…
1. Delegate
Even if you are the biggest perfectionist around, it is so important you delegate tasks for your wedding day. Give yourself plenty of time to work out all those small jobs that have the potential to send your head away and delegate them out to those your trust.
2. Schedule
Have a clear plan of who is getting ready, when and where so you don’t need to worry about ensuring everyone gets to the ceremony on time!
3. Pre-wedding photo planning
Some couples get really nervous about having their photo taken on the day. To combat this it’s a great idea to have a pre-wedding photo planning session with your photographer. You’ll get used to being in front of their camera and you can run through ideas for the day and let them know family photo details.
4. Get rid of your phone
During the morning when you are getting ready give your phone to someone to look after for the day. You will likely receive messages of well wishes but no-one expects a reply on your wedding day! Save them to read and reply to the next day, or next week if that’s how you feel.
5. It’s your day, all day!
From the moment you wake on your wedding day it is just that, your wedding day! Enjoy it fully, there’s no more planning to be done so try to relax, breathe and soak up every second!
