After months of planning our wedding day and then having our wedding day arrive, I decided to put together a few tips for a stress free wedding day! Planning a wedding is stressful! Even for us! Now that we’ve tied the knot, I want to share a few tips that helped my stress levels on our wedding day!

Hire a professional wedding planner

This one was super important for us! We were blessed to work with two amazing ladies on our special day! We had the venue coordinator, Lauren at North Hills Club along with our planner, Mrs. Sharon with Cozy Up!! Mrs. Sharon handled all of the decor and helped me with creating a timeline and schedule for our wedding! She was fabulous! She also created all of our wedding details (except a couple DIY projects I wanted to do)! On the day of our rehearsal, Lauren made sure that everyone knew what to do, when to walk, etc! Then on our wedding day, Sharon and Lauren worked together to make sure everything ran smoothly! Definitely hire a professional wedding planner or coordinator to help relieve some of the stress before and on your wedding day!

Get a massage the day before your wedding

I didn’t personally do this, but one of my friends who married said that this helped her to relax! I couldn’t imagine that it could help a lot with being tense and nervous before your big day!

Put someone in charge

Even if you have a planner, I still believe that it’s important to put a bridesmaid or someone else in charge of certain things like telling family to stay in place for photos after the wedding or bustling your dress after the ceremony! Everything happens so fast and it helps to have someone ready to jump in and help throughout the day!

Hire quality professionals

As a professional wedding photographer, I believe that this is very important! When you hire professionals that you trust, you don’t have to worry about them showing up and do exactly what needs to be done! We worked with an amazing team of vendors and everyone was on time and in place when needed! That definitely kept a lot of the stress away! We always suggest that you read reviews from past clients of the vendors you’re thinking about hiring! And really get to know your vendors if you can!

Relax 

This one is simple! Just relax! Take time to really enjoy your day! Take it all in! Before you know it, the day will be over! So leave the stress behind and just relax!

I hope that these tips help someone! Have a great day everyone!
