Wedding days can spiral out of control very quickly., that is why the preparation is essential. Whenever I am facing a big event in my life, I tend to tend to plan and get as much as I can beforehand, to the point where I can tell myself “ I have done everything I could humanly possibly do, and now I have to let go”. The let go part of that sentence was one of the most important parts on the day of my own wedding day, I had done the planning and I tried to tick as many boxes as I could beforehand, and on the day I only wanted one thing: to have the fun of my life. I really hope that this guide to prepare yourself the day before will help you to be calm and have a smooth wedding day!

  2. Take 20 minutes to go for a walk to clear your mind

  3. Consider taking a bath, water not only cleanses your body, it will also cleanse your mind and soul and allow you to relax

  10. and the most important thing, above all remember why you are getting married: because you have found your soulmate, you are ready to take the next step in your relationship and you are committed to each other, because your partner makes you happy and is part of who you are. Your reason is probably some combination of all of these things so don’t forget why your family and friends are coming together and get lost among the little details. If you begin to feel overwhelmed or stressed, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and appreciate the love and connection between you and your partner. Everyone will be coming together to celebrate the love you share. Keep this sentiment close to your heart and at the center of your mind throughout the entire day, and the insignificant details will seem even smaller.
