Tips for the Bride
There are lots of things to think about when brides plan their wedding. In the rush they tend to forget about taking care of themselves. What should be at the top of every bride's list on the day of her wedding is to relax and enjoy it!
Put together a little make-up bag for touch ups that you can take along with you on the day of the wedding to keep you looking your best. And on the big day, have a friend, bridesmaid, or family member hang onto it or stash it somewhere handy so you can get to it when you need it.
Thoughts for the bridal bag: perfume, deodorant, headache tablets, tissues, lipstick, hairspray, handerchief, safety pins, needle and thread.
Food for Thought
Since most brides don't get to enjoy the meal served at the reception, you really should consider having something to eat before the wedding, no matter how worried you are about how the dress fits! While food may be the last thing on your mind on your wedding day, it's nonetheless important that you start the day with some healthy and filling.
You know those stunning, sexy, strappy, ultra-high heels work perfectly with your wedding gown, they'll be great for the ceremony and for the formal pictures, but if you're planning to kick up your heels at the reception, you'll be better off kicking off the heels and settling into something more comfortable. So get a pretty, more practical pair of shoes that you can change into.
You should have an itinerary for the big day. Make copies, give them to a few good friends and/or close family members, then choose someone to be the "point person" who will make sure things are running smoothly and reasonably on time. You will be able to rest easily knowing at least one of your deputies will keep track of the time while you're busy with your brand new in-laws whose names you can't quite remember!
Making your speech can be daunting. Don't put it off until the last minute and let your nerves get the better of you. Start planning early. Practice in-front of the mirror or your best man so that you feel well rehearsed when the time comes.
