How to enjoy your Wedding Day
How to enjoy your Wedding Day – You may ask yourself that same exact question. Here it goes…
So you have spent a gazillion number of hours this last year planning your wedding. And very rightly so, as it will be one of your most treasured memories in your lifetime. From selecting your princess ballroom and wedding gown, to the very small details such as wedding favor ‘Thank You’ tags and near-exact replicas of you and your soon husband-to-be cake topper. In a twelve plus-hour day packed with activities, how do you enjoy it all?
Well it isn’t impossible. The key is to stick to a strict wedding timeline. First, keep mindful of all key activities to take place during the day. Have one of your Bridesmaids or a hired Wedding Consultant or Coordinator keep you on track – that means slip into your wedding gown by 1pm, wrap up photographs with Bridal Party by 3:15pm, and be perfectly-ready and lined up for the ceremony by 4:22pm. Secondly, have your photographer ensure photographs start and finish as scheduled. Remember, if you are running late, or if any photograph shots are still missing from your shot list, there will be time during Cocktail Hour or Reception to sneak them in. Third, don’t miss your Cocktail Hour. If you intend to attend your Cocktail Hour be sure to wrap up photographs ten minutes before it begins. That will give you and your bridal party some time to freshen up and relax before you walk into a room filled with guests ready to congratulate you and your then-husband, and possibly overwhelm you with questions and starry compliments. But be sure to sneak in 10 minutes to grab a delicious bite and capture in all of the décor of the room. Oh and don’t forget to get a glimpse of your ready-to-go ballroom during your First Look, before all of your guests move in from the Cocktail Hour! Lastly, dance, dance, dance before the DJ stops the music. Cocktail Hour gives you a chance to greet many of your guests, so do your share of greets during the serving of the night’s meals, and only after you have had a bite to eat yourself. Then excuse yourself onto the dance floor, and dance the night away. So hand over all of your responsibilities to your Wedding Consultant or Coordinator, and simply enjoy your Wedding Day!
