Preparing for your wedding day can be stressful. It is tempting to check on everything, but you should leave that to your wedding planner. The only thing you need to do on the day before your wedding is to destress and relax.
To help you out, here is a timeline you can follow to relax the day before your wedding:
- Wake-Up Early
Waking up early in the morning will help you destress, allowing time to finish those last-minute details without rushing. Also, waking up early in the morning helps your skin look healthy on time for your wedding day.
- Drink Plenty Of Water
Keeping your body hydrated helps reduce stress. Drink water after waking up, before and after meals, and before sleeping. Follow the 8×8 rule – 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water.
- Follow Your Morning Skincare Routine
Treat this as an ordinary day and follow your beauty routine. Applying moisturizer and cream on your face and body will prepare your skin for the make-up you will most likely apply on your wedding day. Remember not to use new products the day before your wedding to avoid bad skin reactions.
- Eat A Healthy Breakfast
Eat substantial, healthy meals to give your body enough energy. For breastfast, you can have eggs to get your fill of protein or a bowl of oatmeal for an enormous amount of nutrition. Avoid eating junk foods and don’t try new food to prevent possible allergic reactions.
- Chat With Your Wedding Planner
Talk to your wedding planner and ask for updates and double-check everything. For example, ask whether the reception and catering are set for the next day. This is why you hired a wedding planner to handle the stress! Leave the details in their hands.
- Get Your Nails Done
Give yourself a glow-up. Get a manicure and pedicure and maybe a relaxing facial treatment. You can even let your hairstylist practice your hairdo to ensure that it will look perfect on your wedding day.
- Prepare Your Reception Bag
If you are changing your dress for the reception, prepare your items the day before your wedding. Keep all the clothing and accessories you will wear for the reception in one bag, so you can quickly change them right after the wedding ceremony. Also, don’t forget to include makeup items for quick touch-ups and safety and bobby pins for emergencies.
- Try On Your Heels
Try on your heels and practice walking to lighten the rigidity of the shoes. It will also help you find and practice your balance for the next day.
- Eat A Healthy Dinner
Again, stick with your regular healthy diet. Stay away from foods that will make you feel and look bloated.
- Silence Your Phone
Keeping your phone away at least one hour before bed will help you sleep well. Stop checking notifications to relieve yourself from stress and anxiety. You can even send a group text to the people actively participating in your wedding and let them know you will be putting your phone away for the evening.
- Nighttime Skincare Routine
Continue your nighttime skincare routine to give your skin a healthy and glowing look the next day.
- Get A Good Night’s Sleep
A night of good sleep will give you a fresh and joyful start on your wedding day. It will help you look and feel your best the next day.
