HOW TO ROCK YOUR WEDDING MORNING
A stress free zone on your wedding day? We love that for you π―
Here's how you can ensure you cruise right through that wedding morning like a breeze ππ»β¬οΈ
1οΈβ£ Know where the glam station will be.
Ok, yes, this one may be for the artists out there - but knowing where your glam squad is going to be setting up will help you visually map out the rest of your area. Just remember, we preferably would love: a window for natural light, a table for our gear, and an outlet to power up.
2οΈβ£ Broadcast the beauty schedule.
I've seen first-hand how less-than-ideal (π¬) it can be to have your gang ask you multiple times what time their hair/makeup appointment is atβ¦Give future-you a break and make sure your ladies ALL have the beauty schedule ππ»aheadππ»ofππ»timeππ». Personally, I send out the schedule in your confirmation mail, prep email, and I also print it to bring on the day for everyone to see. I got you, BB ππΌββοΈ
3οΈβ£ Designate ahead wherever possible.
I can't even tell you how important this one is. Have a playlist picked out before the day to get ready to and give that task or pressing play to one of your gals if possible. Is there going to be someone that can take in questions from others? And who are you going to turn to when you want to request that breakkie sandwhich or mimosa? Giving yourself a right-hand-(wo)man can be HUGE. And if you're eloping, or don't have a bridal party...you've got me ππΌββοΈ Iβll happily be your psuedo-bridesmaid π
4οΈβ£ Have your detail items ready to go.
You know all those beautiful bits and pieces you want your photographer to capture before the day goes full steam ahead? ππ‘ππ Have those out and ready for them to start snapping away at. I've seen clients do this in a couple ways...either all laid out in the same area, or even all in a nicely contained box (minus the dress and items to hang, of course). It will be a huge weight off your back - and give you more time in the makeup chair (#coughcough ππ) if you don't have to jump up and grab these items.
5οΈβ£ Snacks and Bevvies are a gals best friend!
No one wants a hangry moment...and with everything going on during a wedding morning, itβs easy to forget one of the MOST important things - fuelling yourself! π―ππ₯ Whether itβs a meal, snack, twizzlers tucked in your bag (true story π ), as long as you have something in your tummy that will help get you through the day. We donβt want to pass out all damsel-in-distress styleβ¦so give yourself the nutrition and hydration it needs ππ»
