How to Keep your Cool on Your Wedding Day

A wedding day is like no other day of your life.  You are going to be the center of attention and will probably be feeling charged with energy and emotion. Most brides say their wedding day goes by in a flash, but it is a long day so you need to be prepared for it.

v  An empty stomach, or one filled with junk food, can play havoc on your nerves.  Avoid anything fatty, or high in sugar, and pass on the carbonated drinks.  Drink plenty of water and have a light meal before leaving for the ceremony.

v  Take it easy the night before the big Day.  Too much alcohol will leave you feeling groggy.  Limit your caffeine intake during your morning preparations, and if champagne is flowing- go easy on it – you’ll get plenty during your wedding reception. 

v  Make sure you leave enough time to pamper yourself.  Take a long bath first thing and have the hair stylist and make-up artist arrive with plenty of time to work in a relaxed manner.  You don’t want to leave for the ceremony feeling stressed out. 

v  If you have a blemish on the day – whatever you do – don’t make it worse.  Use a medicated ointment to dry it out (also toothpaste) and have your make-up artist deal with it for you. 

v  Try to steal quiet moments to yourself as you prepare, even if this means closing the door to your bedroom for 5 minutes of deep breathing. 

v  Repeat a mantra as a quick and effective form of mind control.  “Love, peace and happiness will surround me today.”  Remember to try and take it all in - notice the flowers, taste the cake, hug your family, dance with your friends and look into the eyes of the "love of your life"!

Congratulations and have a beautiful day!

  1. It is very useful and important post on how to keep yourself cool on wedding day. It will be pretty useful for me as it’s my wedding next month. We are done with booking of famous venues in Atlanta. Just planning to hire a photographer to have a memorable wedding.
