After months, maybe even years, of saving, searching and planning your big day<\/a>, it finally dawns. If there\u2019s one thing our real brides tell us time and again, it\u2019s that their wedding day goes by in a blur and that, if they could do it all again, they would do just that \u2013 relive it to treasure\u00a0each moment. It\u2019s all too easy for your wedding morning to be a haze\u00a0of preparations, nerves, excitement and clock watching (you don\u2019t want to be late!). To help you slow down and take your most special of days in, we\u2019ve put together seven things to do on your wedding morning to make the most of every moment and make memories you\u2019ll never forget.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raise\u00a0a toast<\/span><\/p>\n

Sipping Champagne is a wedding morning must, but don\u2019t forget to share a toast to your last morning as a single lady or gent! You\u2019ll never get the chance to do it again, so clink your glasses together in celebration of your life and love\u00a0so far and let those with you wish you luck for your next step.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have something to eat<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, you want to fit comfortably into your figure-hugging dress and yes, you might well have lost your appetite a little as a result of big day nerves and excitement, but it\u2019s essential that you still eat something. Sharing platters of nibbles are a great option to pass around and dip in and out of as you get glammed up for your aisle moment!<\/span><\/p>\n

Wear special\u00a0dressing gowns<\/span><\/p>\n

This one\u2019s a little lighter hearted, but here at Wedding Ideas we just love the photos of our real brides and their maids dressed to impress in coordinated dressing gowns! They\u2019ll make your wedding morning\u00a0photographs pretty and sophisticated and are a comfortable option for before you get into your gown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pamper, pamper, pamper!<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re doing it yourself or have a host of makeup artists and hairdressers knocking at your door on your wedding morning, take the time to relax and just enjoy being pampered. Everyone around you is there to support you and help you look and feel your absolute beautiful best, so indulge and enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n

Have a little fun<\/span><\/p>\n

However, you define it, make sure you let yourself have fun on your wedding morning. Don\u2019t spend it worrying about timings, how ready your maids are, or whether the reception d\u00e9cor will be exactly as you planned it. Instead, do something you love \u2013 one of our real groom\u2019s played golf with his groomsmen the morning of his wedding and we think it was a great idea! Schedule in some time, however small, to do one thing together \u2013 it\u2019ll make for wonderful memories and a lot of laughter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reveal the dress<\/span><\/p>\n

You might have one of your maids there to help button your dress up or you might be keeping it as a surprise. Either way, don\u2019t miss your big reveal moment with your bridal party. Have them wait at the bottom of the stairs or just outside the door, then surprise them in your gorgeous gown? Keep your wedding photographer<\/a> on hand to capture the moment on film \u2013 you\u2019ll love looking back at people\u2019s wowed faces afterwards!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let the little details go<\/span><\/p>\n

Because brides tend to plan their dream day down to the teeniest of details, it\u2019s very easy for something to go wrong and, however small it may be, the bride will notice. For the small hiccups and things that don\u2019t go to plan \u2013 maybe your maid forgot her matching earrings or your shoes aren\u2019t quite as comfy as you\u2019d hoped \u2013 try to let them go. No one but you will ever know and, at the end of the day, what are mismatched earrings or a sore toe when you\u2019re about to marry the love of your life?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
