The countdown to your wedding has begun:
a relaxed preparation for wedding morning!

In a few hours, the time will come. You say “yes” to your true love and with that you say yes to a future together. What an important day! And of course, for most people this is bound to be accompanied by many emotions. But what should prevail – in the days before and especially on the morning of the wedding – is the anticipation.

How you can avoid unnecessary stress in the last meters and experience a relaxed “preparation” for the wedding morning, we have summarized for you here. Speaking in advance, good preparation and clear communication will help you in any case.

Tip #1

On the morning of your wedding day, you only need to be concerned with the most important things. You should be able to focus on your well-being and your styling. If you use the night before to prepare properly, you will have a relaxed morning. And when we talk about preparation, we especially mean having everything you need ready the night before for the next day. Make sure the dress is hanging wrinkle-free, the shoes are underneath, all the accessories are ready and your bag is already filled with everything you need. Not sure if you have everything? In our blog you’ll find even more helpful tips on what should be in every bridal handbag. Also lay out your clothes for the upcoming day that you will be wearing during your preparation. No one wants to have to spend the last few hours gathering something.

Tip #2

Do you style your own nails? Then the night before is the perfect time. Here you have enough time to let everything dry safely and not to get ugly stains on your nail polish. At the same time, you can be pretty sure that they are not chipped the next morning and that the ring is placed on your beautifully groomed hands.


Tip #3

Is everyone informed, are they aware of the timing and do they know which address to go to? Great. Feel free to share – even at short notice – your bridesmaid’s phone number with your service providers, such as photographers, venues, cake bakers, drivers, musicians, etc., so they can answer any short questions. It is also helpful to display the schedule and all important information in an email or on a DIN A4 sheet. This takes a lot of organizational pressure off you on the day itself – trust us.

Tip #4

Schedule plenty of time in the morning for your me-time. A long shower and a hearty breakfast – rather than a quick snack between styling and dressing – can work wonders. Do you prefer to start the day with your favorite music or in silence, with the window open and birds whistling, or with a short walk alone? Whatever you decide, do what feels best for you, but most of all in peace.

Tip #5

After your personal me-time, things can start slowly. Pro tip: The clothes you wear during Getting Ready should be especially comfortable and easy to take off. Do not wear a bra or socks in the morning and only wear clothes that do not leave prints. Best is a zippered bathrobe or sweatshirt jacket so you can be sure not to ruin your hair or makeup while changing after styling.

Tip #6

Depending on how difficult your hair and makeup styling is, schedule at least 2 hours of time. Again, it’s best not to plan too tightly. You don’t want to have to jump into the dress and then go. Allow yourself time to put the dress on quietly and possibly take your first photos. This calmness will radiate from you at the wedding and it will be reflected in your photos.

Tip #7

Speaking of photos. Will the wedding photographer accompany you during your preparations? Make it clear in advance what you do and don’t want photographed. You should be able to feel comfortable at any time without having to explain yourself all the time that morning. If you have someone accompanying you during the Getting Ready, such as your maid of honor, you can also inform her, so she can support you accordingly and make sure the photographer captures exactly what you want.

Tip #8

Is your preparation taking place at home and is the photographer going with you? Make sure there is plenty of daylight in the room and use the night before to do some cleaning up so the background looks nice in the photos.

Tip #9

Think carefully in advance about who you want at your Getting Ready the morning before the wedding. The emotions start here, you don’t need anyone to make you nervous. Is there exactly such a person in your area and you don’t know how to stop them? Our tip: divide tasks! This will keep them busy, make them feel involved and you can enjoy your quiet morning.

We hope you find useful tips here and wish you a wonderful and relaxing start to your wedding day.
