A wedding day can be just as nerve-racking for the bridesmaid as it is for the bride. To each bridesmaid the pressure of the role will vary, but if it’s your first time, making sure you do all the right things at the right times can be daunting. So ensuring you have the most relaxing and glamorous wedding morning is the only way to start the day. On the morning of the most important day of your life, it is worth taking that extra time to make sure it runs along smoothly.

Choose a stylish pre-gown outfit

On the morning of the wedding it’s essential that you look and feel good! A current theme trending is for bridesmaids wearing matching outfits, such as floral dressing gowns. This glamorous matching look can kick off the day, but also ease the bride into the gown.

Serve decadent food and drink

The morning is best spent with your girlfriends eating light delicious food, and enjoying a glass of champagne. Hydrating and eating in the morning can set a good base for the rest of the long day ahead. Depending on the time you’ll be getting ready, this might be for breakfast, brunch, lunch or just snacks to keep energy levels up. The same can be done for drinks, if you prefer. Create a DIY mimosa bar with fruit slices or pretty stirrers.

Make sure it’s stress free

Ensuring that the morning runs along smoothly can be a combination of things including, a clutter-free and tidy room or location, or only a small number of people. While you don’t want an empty space, little visual distractions can make for better getting ready photographs.

Timelines are key

Getting ready with your most vibrant and fun friends and family can cause time to fly by. Making sure you, as the bride, do whatever it is to make you feel energised and glowing for the wedding. This could include a yoga session or a brisk walk, maybe even fitting in time with family.

Raise a toast and have fun

This is obviously an important aspect of the day. Having fun in the beginning can set up for a relaxing day that will be one of the many memories.
