10 Tips on having a stress free wedding day

Your wedding day does not have to be stressful. There are always things that will go wrong and you must be mindful of that. In the end, it is about your love for each other and becoming one to live your dream together, not about whether there was one flower short for the decorations or a bridesmaid forgot her necklace… minor😏

The key to having a stress free wedding day all comes down to your attitude. Everything I am going to say is out of love and respect and to help you in the future… so do not get mad instead check your inner tude!

If you have a go-with-the-flow attitude chances are your wedding will not be stressful at all because you are granting whatever comes at you it will be. Now, if you have a perfect picture in mind of EXACTLY how you want your wedding to go, well then you might run into some problems because you have only one thought in your mind and nothing will change that.

I’m not saying you can’t want or hope your wedding day is this picture-perfect fairytale moment. Of course, all of us brides want that I am just saying don’t get that picture so locked in your head because something typically always goes wrong on your wedding day (if not that is ao amazing for you!) whether it’s little or big and you really can’t get around that no matter how much you stress out and plan.

That’s why make your wedding day a lot less stressful by doing our first tip of having an open mind!

1. Having an open mind

Let’s face it wedding day stress is inevitable, BUT you can do things to help make it less stressful for you and everyone around you on your special day! The first tip in reducing wedding day stress is to have an open mind. Like I mentioned above no matter how hard you plan and wish your perfect wedding day when it comes down to it might not have all the pieces there. That’s why it is important to have an open mind from the start that things might not end up exactly how they were planned. And that’s okay the most important thing is if you are surrounded by your family and friends and you get to marry your perfect soulmate!

2. Get lots of rest the night before

I know this might be hard to believe or do but getting rest the night before even the week leading up to your wedding is SO important. A crucial step in ensuring you can rest the night before is planning so you have no last-minute things to rush around and do. Or if there are make sure you can get friends and family to help knock it out fast so you can get plenty of rest! What helped me ease all of my excitement and nerves was to read and listen to music as well as take a nice relaxing bath while watching a show. Anything you can do that relaxes your body is key!

3. get an early start

Although it may be tempting to get a little more sleep.. especially after a restless one the night before. Getting out of bed early and starting your day ensures you are wide awake and have lots of time to get ready so you’re not rushing around! Which is important for a stress-free wedding day!

4. emergency kit

This is like the holy grail of emergency wedding situations! My mom like all moms I assume is just the ones that have everything and anything for situations that could or could not arise. Well, this super mom sense came in handy on our wedding day. My mom made an emergency kit of everything we could need like safety pins, double sided tape, ibuprofen, mini deodorant, makeup remover, etc. And boy let me tell you this saved all of the stress and headache of worrying if something was going to happen.

5. delegate responsibilities

You don’t have to do it all. You should be doing the least on your wedding day. Delegating tasks was a huge help on our wedding day. Early in the morning my dad and some of the groomsmen were able to get to our venue and set up chair covers on all of the chairs which allowed our flower lady to spend more time on the decorations which also meant I could be getting my hair done with all my girls and not worry about what was happening at the venue. Being able to delegate tasks even If they are small helps free up time you can spend on other things and not have to worry about.

6. HAVE A TIMELINE IN PLACE

One of the most important tips in having a smooth stress free wedding day is having a timeline from the time you wake up to the end of the night to ensure all of your wedding party, guests, transportation, photographers, DJs, etc. are all on the same page! I had a timeline from the time I was going to wake up down to the little details of when I would arrive at my parent’s house to get on our party bus to take us to the hair appointment. Now you don’t have to be as detailed as me but having at least a basic timeframe for things just helps the whole day run smoothly. That way everyone knows where they need to be at what time so you are not stressing about babysitting everyone!

7. Stay hydrated and fed

Now this is something that gets overlooked but is so important for your stress-free wedding day. Staying properly hydrated is important on a normal day let alone one of the most important days of your life. Staying hydrated and fed will allow you to think more clearly and will help if you are drinking so that you remember your wedding day the next day. What helped me through the whole day was having little snacky food at the hair appointment like bagels and small sandwiches once we got to the venue.

8. Have a plan b

No one likes to expect rain or bad weather on their wedding day but it will take so much stress off your shoulders if you have a backup plan. That doesn’t mean you have to use it but just having one in place helps ease the mind. Especially if you do have to use plan b everything was already thought out and planned accordingly so the plan runs smoothly and you’re not running around like a chicken with its head cut off!

9. Don’t stress the little things

Along with having an open mind on your wedding day not stressing the little things can also be a big help in creating your perfect stress-free wedding day. Are you going to care a year from now or 15 into your marriage that your flower girl had a meltdown while walking down the aisle, probably not so don’t worry about it. Or that a golfer drove by while you had a picture taken, it honestly would probably funny years down the road to look back on and laugh about. The point is that little inconveniences won’t matter in the long run so just take a deep breath and enjoy your very special day together!

10. Clear communication

I don’t know what is the most important tip out of all of these but having clear communication to everyone including your vendors is pretty high up there. Just like creating a timeline so everyone is on the same page having clear and open communication throughout your wedding planning process is so important that all your vendors and wedding party know exactly what is to happen!
