Your wedding day is finally here, and the weeks before the big event can be both exciting and draining at the same time. Before the festivities begin, here are a few things you should consider doing the morning of the wedding.

With all that goes on during your wedding day, it’s hard to find time in solitude. Take some time in the morning to sit with yourself and reflect on what is about to take place. Read a book, drink a cup of coffee, journal, or relax before all of the excitement begins. You’ll be grateful you took the time to be with your thoughts and calm your nerves.

It is so easy to forget to eat or even drink water when there is so much to remember, plan, and do. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure you’re eating a healthy plate of food that will give you the energy you need to get through the day.

Go over your schedule that either you or your planner created so that you can be reassured that everything that is supposed to happen actually happens, and that everyone who has a task knows what they’re supposed to be doing.

Now is not the time to be texting or scrolling through your social media feed. You’ll have time to look through your friend’s posts after the big day. Hand your phone over to someone for the day and forget about it. The last thing you want to stress about is how many likes your latest Instagram post gets or who is texting you.
