7 Getting Ready Tips for The Best Wedding Morning Ever

Between the bubbly, hair and makeup prep, and bonding with your closest friends before your big reveal–here are the crucial steps to ensure that your wedding morning is preparing you physically and emotionally for the exciting day ahead!

Your wedding morning will be full of laughter, a lot of beautiful, timeless moments, and (more than likely) a few happy tears along the way. We know from experience that knowing the best ways to prep for your big day is a key way to alleviate any nerves you could have on your wedding morning–so here’s our guide to having a wedding morning that sets you up for success!

Here are our favorite getting ready tips:

1. Have those matching outfits with your best ladies ready! Whether it’s a cute monogrammed robe or a printed two-piece set, we love the idea of the matching bridesmaids morning-of outfits so you and your besties can be comfy and matching all throughout your wedding day!

2. Take the time to prep your overnight bag! The week of your wedding you’ll definitely be spending a lot of time with your closest loved ones–so starting to prepare your overnight bag even before you start the week is optimum so you don’t forget a single thing that you’ll need! Pro tip: For extra cute “detail“ photos, think about packing along a few styling items. Make sure your photographer or planner knows where to find these things when they arrive!

3. Decide a head of time where you want to put on your dress! Make sure you keep the space tidy and that the room has ample lighting/room for your loved ones (and at the end, your photographer!) to be in there with you for this special moment.

4. Try to keep the rooms + bathrooms as tidy as you can! There will inevitably be a little clutter with everyone’s getting-ready items in the same location, but making sure you clean along the way, or keep the mess in one particular area ensures that you won’t have any issues with finding important items throughout the morning, or that you won’t spend too much time cleaning up the space before the photographer comes in.

5. Remember to breath, and spend some alone time if you need it. We know how easy it is to get a little overwhelmed during the day–so staying present is so important so you can take every single moment in.

6. Don’t forget to hydrate and keep your energy sustained with healthy snacks! We ALWAYS advise our couples to drink more water than they think they’ll need (and have some energy-packed snacks) before your wedding day starts–because feeling 100% on your wedding day is SO important!

7. Make sure you leave time for all of the reveal moments. Revealing your bridal look to your closest friends and family is such a touching moment of the day–so ensuring that you have time to spend a moment to dwell in those excited, sentimental emotions is something we always love making a little more time for.
