The best thing about a photoshoot at home
June 27, 2023Navigate a Shiny or Rainy Wedding Day
August 9, 2023Hey there! Can I just say how excited I am to chat with you about weddings? I got married myself, and I can relate to the mixed emotions and anticipation that come with planning and enjoying your big day. So, let’s grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and have a relaxing chat as I share some advice on how to truly enjoy your wedding day.
1. Create a timeline
First off, let's talk about the power of planning. I can't stress this enough! Planning your wedding will help you feel more at ease and allow you to fully immerse yourself in the joy of the day. Create a timeline and share it with your wedding party and vendors. Having everything organised and communicated will save you from worrying about the logistics and instead let you focus on being present in the moment. You can count on me to help you with that task too!
2. Trust your vendors. On your day, all you need to do is to be present.
Oh, and speaking of being present, mindfulness is key. It's easy to get caught up in the roller coaster of emotions, but remember to take moments throughout the day to just breathe and soak it all in. Ground yourself in the present, appreciate the love and happiness surrounding you, and enjoy every little detail. Trust me, those mindful moments will make your memories of the day even more special. For the things you may not remember, you’ll have your wedding film to watch over and over again!
3. Plan some alone time with your partner
Now, here's a little secret I discovered. Stealing some alone time with your partner will help you to relax. Sneak away for a few minutes and revel in the significance of the day. Use this time to have a drink, exchange heartfelt letters, or simply hold hands and reflect on the beautiful journey that has led you to this point. These intimate moments will strengthen your bond and create memories that are just between the two of you.

4. Embrace the unexpected
Okay, let's be real. Not everything will go exactly as planned, and that's perfectly fine! Embrace the unexpected with a sense of humour. Trust me, the little hiccups often make for the most memorable stories. Instead of stressing about perfection, focus on the love and joy surrounding you. Trust your vendors, wedding party, and loved ones to handle any last-minute issues. This way, you can truly relax and enjoy the celebration without any unnecessary worries.
5. Take care of yourself
Last but not least, take care of yourself. In the chaos, it's important to prioritise self-care. Stay hydrated, eat well, and get enough sleep in the days leading up to your wedding. Treat yourself to activities that help you relax and destress, whether it's some exercise, a walk in nature, or a soothing bath. Feeling your best physically and emotionally will allow you to fully embrace the celebration and enjoy your day to the fullest.
Well, I hope these tips help you have the most amazing wedding day! Remember, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so make sure to savour every precious moment. Cheers to love, happiness, and unforgettable memories!
