11 Silly tips to help you Relax on Your Wedding Day
One of the biggest difficulties that brides and grooms face on the day of the wedding is being very fidgety and nervous. In the past, plenty of Hudson Valley wedding couples regretted feeling this way because it got in the way of the occasion. Some could not smile and look happy for the camera. Others had to keep on going to the bathroom. Although being nervous on the day of your Hudson Valley wedding is quite normal, everything could be even more beautiful if you are able to relax and simply enjoy this special moment in your life.
Here are some silly tips to help you relax on your wedding day.
1. Plan for rain. Everyone loves you but no one can control the weather, plan ahead. The Hudson Valley is like a fishbowl; surrounded by mountains on all sides. She’s a particularly nasty girl when it comes to heat, humidity and rain – especially in early spring and late fall. Sine you cannot control the weather, the best thing to do is make a back-up plan for indoor wedding photos. Where would you go? Do you have umbrellas? Golashes? Does your wedding photographer have ideas? Your coordinator? Rain is a state-of-mind. We’ve never let it be a day ruining event, and some of our best photographs were taken on rainy days – because we were prepared. Don’t stress out about rain; embrace it.
2. Have a reliable wedding coordinator or planner. If you have an on-the-day coordinator or planner who will take charge of everything and ensure that all goes according to plan, you can at least stop worrying about problems that may arise or suppliers who may not deliver on pre-agreed arrangements. You also do not have to put it upon your shoulders to take note of all the details. Your planner is sure to have a checklist and assistants too who can double-check everything that is needed. He or she is also there to resolve unforeseen problems.
3. Hire a good Hudson Valley photography provider. Couples and most especially the brides tend to worry so much about how they would look in the pictures. If you have a great photographer, you can at least be assured that the photos will turn out well. You also do not have to fret about the possibility that photographers will miss out on some important events or activities.
4. Get a good sleep the night before. On the eve right before your special Hudson Valley wedding, be sure to sleep early for your beauty rest. This will also make your skin glow and will give you a better mood too in the morning.
5. Eat a hearty breakfast in the morning of your wedding. Do not proceed on an empty stomach. You need not stuff yourself because you might just run the risk of needing to rush to the bathroom later on or the risk of not fitting into the tight bodice of your gown. Just be sure to eat enough to last you until your next snack or meal.
6. Book a morning spa. Pampering yourself through a massage or a foot spa with pedicure on the morning of your wedding will surely help you start the day right with a more relaxed feeling which can help calm you all throughout the day.
7. Try some simple exercises. Perhaps you wake up filled with nervous sensations, which will prevent you from enjoying the day you have been waiting for and which may even prevent you from going through with the actual ceremony. Surely some jumping jacks and stretching exercises in the morning can help you shake off that nervousness.
8. Try sipping some wine. It has been proven that a glass of champagne can actually calm down your stressed-out nerves. This can certainly help, but do not overdo it or you may end up ruining your day.
9. Pop in a small piece (or several) of chocolate. Stop for a while to savor the wonderful taste of your favorite chocolate. This type of sweets has been proven to help boost a person’s mood.
10. Remind yourself about all the reasons you want to marry the person you love. Along with this, think happy thoughts and surely you will begin to relax.
11. Take a time out. Alot 10 minutes to be alone with your significant other. Sounds silly, but the truth is someone will be with you the entire day; start to finish. Take a quiet time out to be alone, hug, kiss each other passionately and relish in what just happened. You’re married!
