✨ Happy Wedding Wednesday!!! As Wedding Planners, we know how important it is to start your wedding day off right. Your getting-ready time sets the tone for the rest of the day, so here are five tips to having a STRESS-FREE wedding day morning.

1. Get Your Beauty Sleep.
Leave the partying for earlier in the week and plan a peaceful evening for yourself on the night before your wedding. A nice, warm bath with some soothing herbal tea and candles will set you down the relaxation path. Save the bubbly for the big day!

2. Set a Realistic Timeline.
No one likes getting up early, but it is much better to catch the early worm than to try to cram too many things into a short timeframe. If your team advises they need four hours to get your bridal party ready, don’t try to squeeze them into three—it will leave everyone feeling rushed and can compromise their work.

3. Hire Professionals.
Your old friend from college may have offered to do your makeup for free, but don't chance it! It is always best to go with the pros. Pros have contracts that ensure they are on time and there to make you happy. Too often, couples try to cut corners to save money but wind up ruining friendships over it. It’s not worth it!

4. Delegate!
Once the big day has finally arrived, it’s time to turn the reins over to a trusted pro. Sit back and enjoy the day. All your months of planning and hard work have led up to this event; don’t miss it by trying to micromanage the details.

5. The Makeup Chair is Sacred.
We see time and time again where the bride sits down to get her makeup done and the flood of questions start coming in. Your artist cannot work on your face while you are talking and moving around. Make the makeup chair sacred! This may be the last quiet moment you get for the rest of the day, so cherish it. This is not the time to read letters, talk to vendors, eat or stress about something you forgot. This is your moment to relax while your artist does their magic. Don't cheat yourself of this time, you deserve to be pampered!
