Thursday Tips: What To Know Before Your Wedding Day via TheELD.com

As another “wedding season” begins, I can’t help but think of all the brides who are feverishly making last minute preparations… and quite possibly stressing out a little bit. I asked a few of my vendor friends what advice they would give a bride before her wedding day, and I wanted to share what they said! Some are totally serious, and some may give you a little comic relief…

“At the end of the day you are marrying the love of your life. Let go of the small things and be present. Celebrate and enjoy your day.” Brynn Davello, Davello Photography

“Be sure to eat throughout the day and stay hydrated!” Heather Canada, First Coast Weddings & Events

“It’s okay if the day’s running a few minutes behind schedule. Life goes on – there will still be a Mr. & Mrs. at the end of the day. Don’t stress!” Mikkel Paige, Mikkel Paige Photography

“Don’t sweat the small stuff. Have faith in the professionals you hired and enjoy your day!” Tanya Hendricks, Southern Charm Events

“At the reception take a few moments with your husband to just step back and soak it all in. Walk off the dance floor or away from your dinner table and watch the most important people in your life celebrating you. Just for a minute. It goes by so quickly that you’ll be glad you took that minute to just observe.” Erica Stawick, Sweet November Events

“Shave your armpits the morning of! And bring deodorant! Also, don’t be afraid to grab some liquid courage. Day drinking is perfectly acceptable the day of your wedding.” Stephanie Haller, Ahava Studios

“The wedding day will be amazing and you’ll enjoy it, but the marriage is the part that will be the real thrill ride :) And the wedding day is just the beginning of that fantastic ride!” Twila Allen, Twila’s Photography

    Have a good plan about the wedding day and besides the wedding planner base on family!

    One of my brides (Shannon) gave the best advice I thought (it was actually published in her ELD feature last month!): What will matter 1 day after the wedding? 3 days after the wedding? A week? If you won’t remember it, let it go. The details are wonderful, but it’s about the whole day. Don’t stress about bathroom kits or favors. Remember you’re marrying the person you love and that will last a lifetime…sugared roses on the wedding cake won’t.
