It’s finally the big day, and after months of planning and hard-work its time to concentrate on you.  To fully enjoy your wedding and all the efforts you have put forth, make sure you pay attention to all your needs today.  The less stressed you are, the better you will look and feel.  Start the day with some stretching or a leisurely walk to release any tension and give yourself a moment to reflect.  Continue to take slow, deep breathes to keep calm and relaxed throughout the day.  Eat a balanced, wholesome breakfast to boost energy levels and sustain you until you eat next…most brides barely get to touch their food amongst all the excitment and greetings, so breakfast is key to keep you running.  Fruit, yogurt and granola is a light yet filling option, and an egg-white omelet with veggies provides the protein you need to keep yourself energized.  Allow enough time for styling, most brides usually allocate three hours to get ready.  Hair should be done first, usually taking an hour.  Wear a loose shirt that buttons or zips down, so that it does not interfere with your hair when you change.  The second hour is used for make-up, and the third is for dressing and any additional prep.  Be sure to only put on your dress after hair, make-up and perfumes are set (as the oils in fragrance can discolor your dress.)  Have a bridesmaid put together an “emergency kit” to have on hand that includes tissues, nail file, dental floss, breath mints, pressed powder, lipstick, concealor and nail polish etc.
