Tips for your Wedding Day
YES, THEY'RE ACTUALLY HELPFUL
YOU CAN’T HAVE ENOUGH LIGHT.
Love that soft romantic light? Candles, candles candles. Pillar candles – tealights alone don’t provide enough light on tables.
Cafe lights! String them up, down, around – drape them across the entire room! The more ambient light we have to work with, the better!
PRACTICE THE BOWTIE.
There’s no shame in a clip-on. There is shame in spending 45 minutes watching youtube videos on how to tie a bowtie. ;) #truestory
You can never have enough candles.
BOOK TWO NIGHTS.
Do not vacate your getting ready room on your wedding day. No one needs stress like that. You do not want to be checking out of your hotel room on your wedding day and lugging your bags down to your car in your suit. #truestory
YOUR PERIOD WILL
SURPRISE YOU.
Stress makes your cycle way wonky and wedding stress is some of the worst kind. Pack tampons just in case.
BREAK IN YOUR SHOES.
Walk around, do housework – you need them to be comfortable! Scuff the bottom so you don’t risk falling. Consider wedges if you’re getting married outside.
​
Bring a pair of CUTE FLATS so you can get down on the dance floor!
CHOOSE YOUR GETTING READY SPOT CAREFULLY.
Look for great natural light, interesting wallpaper or texture and lots of space if documenting the getting ready moments are important to you. Check out our list of Best Wedding Prep Hotels for tips on choosing a spot!
