A lot of brides as us our opinions on simple things that can make your day go smoothly.
- Be sure to eat something before the ceremony. There are plenty of brides who don't, and then get headaches or stomach aches later in the day.
- Bring a spray bottle filled with water to keep the flowers looking fresh for pictures throughout the day.
- It's always a good idea to pack an emergency kit with aspirin, band-aids, safety pins, stain remover, an extra pair of nylons, a sewing kit and an umbrella.
- Assign a close family member, preferably a parent to look after the $ bag.
- Cut the cake after you eat the meal. During dinner is your only chance to sit down and relax, and believe us... you'll want the down time.
- This is a major one! When planning wedding day events, be sure to give extra time for getting ready, altar shots, pictures in between the ceremony and reception and the bridal party announcement. Most of the time, things run behind schedule.
- Try to have at least 45 minutes after the ceremony ( and family pictures) to take pictures with your photographer.
All for now! We'll post more ideas in the coming months.
