Tip 1 - Enjoy the day – don’t worry about little things, relax and enjoy it
Relax and enjoy it all and don’t stress over the little things
Its as stressful as you make it - just enjoy yourself and don't worry about the small things!
Don't stress too much about little things like favours and making sure everything matches. Think about the day as a whole and whether your guests will enjoy what you have planned. No point in having fantastic favours if there is not enough food or if there are huge gaps in the day.
Don't worry about the little things, they really don't matter. All anyone remembers is what everyone looked like and how good the venue was. Cars, flowers, decorations, favours, cake etc all go largely un-noticed!
Enjoy it! It doesn't have to be perfect, it's a celebration with your friends & family
Don't fret, get organised early and do it yourself. At least you know it falls on you at the end of the day!!! I had a fantastic day with virtually no stress.
Every bride worries about absolutely everything. I found after the day had gone, that I need'nt have worried. Nobody really cared what the tables looked like, or if the invites matched or if there were any favors. At the end of the day, you put so much thought and work into everything, when really, it doesnt matter because nobody really notices, and you dont really get anything out of it apart from being proud of the fact that you did it all yourself, but not everyone sees it like that.
Enjoy every second - don't stress over the little things, no-one else will notice.
Try not to get bogged down with the little things in the few weeks before the wedding. On the day itself, no-one will care if the flowers aren't exactly the same shade of blue as the wording on the invitations, or if the bridesmaids' dresses and groomsmens' waistcoats don't match exactly- just enjoy the result of weeks of planning! Also- try not to get overly stressed about the weather forecast, as it is the one thing over which you have absolutely no control!
Don't get hung up on the tiny details. As long as you and your hubby to be turn up plus some family and friends, it doesn't matter if the table clothes don't quite match the napkins! Just relax and have fun
Before the day, every little item seemed the most important thing, but on the day I just went with the flow and enjoyed every moment of it, everyone knows their job as they have done it time and time again. When you wake up on that morning, don't worry about a thing and enjoy
Enjoy your day, dont worry about tiny things like the flowers are smaller than i imagined, spend the time cherishing your day and being centre of attention because the day will fly by.
Not to allow little things to cloud the real reason behind getting married - at the end of the day, no-one will care whether your underwear matched tablecloths, whether you had dancing lessons for your first dance or whether everyone got a piece of your wedding cake; you are marrying each other because you love one another and that is what is important
Relax and enjoy the whole process- don't sweat the small stuff : )
It is only one day, and the little things that go wrong are the things that make it memorable and unique!
Try not to worry about the small things - favours, cars etc - as your guests will be so busy celebrating that they really won't notice if they're not perfect!
Don't worry about the details - you won't even notice on the day!
Don't get carried away with every little detail of your big day, try to relax & realise that afterwards, nobody remembers the small things you stressed about, they only remember seeing the 2 of you & enjoyed the day for what it was
The tiny details don't matter, no one will notice if your shoes are one shade different to the bridesmaids etc. Don't stress
Don't stress the small stuff! And have the day YOU and your partner want, not the day other people want you to have!
Try not to stress too much about the little things, they really dont matter on the day. I would say a videograher is a must, captures things you miss on the day.
The little things that seem important during your planning REALLY don't matter on the day
To not stress about any of the details. Looking back on the day all you remember is having a fab time, and any stresses in the lead up just aren't worth it!
Dont get too hung up on the details. And if things go wrong or not to plan dont worry - believe me after a year you wont remember those bits!!
relax and enjoy, your day will be perfect no matter what
Whatever will be will be!!!! Don't worry about the small things! Enjoy yourself
Enjoy it, take time to spend enjoying all the hard work that has been put in, don't stress the little things and make sure that you have the right dress - ok so it's more than one!
Enjoy the day and don't worry too much about the small stuff. Nobody but you will notice if the flowers are a shade lighter than you wanted!! Everyone is there to see you!!
Not very original but dont stress about the small things. I had an accident days before my wedding in Mauritius and it changed how I wore my dress - we were rushing around looking for a wrap to cover my arm the day before!! Things can happen so just concentrate on marrying the right person and enjoying your day.
Don't worry if something does not go to plan on the day or beforehand - everyone is there to see you get married not whether the Bridesmaids knickers match the table clothes.
A happy bride and groom will be remembered far more than favours and outfits. Relax and enjoy your day and your guests will too.
Don't sweat the small stuff ! Absolutely no need for everything to match perfectly - e.g no need for matching plastic straws behind the bar! Just be happy and your guests will be too.
Do not worry about the little things as on the day you and the guests will not even notice. Try and take in every second of the day as it goes so quickly!
Don't sweat the small stuff, the things that will matter on the day are having time with your husband and guests, not whether the guest book matched the napkins.
Don't stress over the little things or panic about things going wrong - your guests probably won't notice things going wrong (after all they don't know what was planned) and you won't care on the day - just concentrate on the fact that you're marrying the love of your life and everything else is a bonus.
Don't worry too much about details as you'll probably be the only one to notice - do take time out to be with your Groom during the day.
Don't worry about the small things - no one will notice if the colour of the favours don't match the bridesmaids dresses! Or if you have favours at all.....
Don't stress about the small things it all comes together in the end
Nobody will notice any of the details - ie whether things match completely
Don't stress on the day - you probably won't notice if something goes "wrong" and your guests certainly won't. So just enjoy it as it goes so fast.
Don't get stressed - it is about you and your husband getting married NOT everyone else having a good party. If you are happy they will enjoy themselves
Don't get stressed - try to relax and enjoy your day as it will all be over far too quickly!
Relax,enjoy yourself,as long as you and your husband are married, everything else is not important
Nothing in the world could be classed as absolutely critical to any wedding except the bride, groom, officiant and a few smiling faces. Relax and enjoy it and don't stress about the little things.
Try and take in every moment as it happens as it passes by so quickly oh and relax. I was so worried about everything it was only at about 11pm that i actually started to relax and enjoy myself
Chill, enjoy and don't stress. It's the best day ever and just go with the flow. If things happen on the day don't worry.
Try to relax and enjoy every minute of your big day - and the lead up to it! It goes so fast and stressing will only make it less enjoyable.
The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed your guests will be. Easier said than done, but if you are stressed, then no one else will be able to enjoy it. Take a deep breath, put a big smile on your face and everyone will remember how happy and relaxed you were (even if inside you were shaking!)
Don't get too stressed about little things (or big things!) on the run up to the big day, as on the day it won't even matter! My 'thing' was the cake. I had an image in my head of a beautiful 3 tier cake, and on the run up to the day my supplier wouldn't let me see it, but she told me it was beautiful. I didn't actually see it until after the ceremony and meal, when we went to the evening reception venue. My husband and I were the first ones there - and I saw it and burst out laughing. It looked like a 5 year old had made it. It was nothing like I had dreamt of, and to be completely honest - was heartbreaking and embarrassing, but by that time I was on a complete high so just took it in my stride. I couldn't do anything about it because we married abroad. One thing was - my guests all said it was the only wedding cake they would always remember, and I was praised for being so calm about the whole thing! Honestly though, on the day itself, little things going wrong (or cakes going wrong!) don't mean a thing - you are just on such a high you don't really care!
Don't stress yourself out worrying about the day, it comes and goes so quickly, enjoy every moment!
keep calm everything will work out well on the day and if it doesn't there is always the video for You've Been Framed!!!! The money will help towards the cost. Just enjoy
Don't stress about everyone else just concentrate on enjoying your day.
Don't stress ......... everything that seems critical is not on the day, enjoy every second because time flies.
Enjoy every minute of it and don't let the stress levels get out of control!
Enjoy every single second of the day and try not to fret about anything. It passes so fast.
Relax on the day. Theres nothing you can do. Just enjoy the day and try to remember every bit of it. Also ask your friends to take pictures too. I loved my official ones but some of the un official ones were great too and caught bits of the day that the official photographer we had didnt.
Just enjoy it. On the day nothing else matters at all, even if something does go wrong (which is won't) you won't notice or care!! Remember that when you're planning... AND don't give into the pressure or family/friends, it is your day, do it the way YOU want!
Enjoy the day, savour the time beforehand and try to plan ahead so that you don't get stressed nearer the time! Oh and accept help from others!
Have realistic expectations, don't expect everything to be perfect!
Try to relax and enjoy every minute of your big day!
Just relax and enjoy it. Even if things do go wrong, only you know!
enjoy your day
After all the hard work planning, sit back and enjoy the day - once you have said "I do" the rest is just a bonus!
Relax and Enjoy - it goes so quickly!
Just enjoy it as it is an amazing day and just goes so quickly
Just relax - no point in fretting about anything!
Relax and make sure you have the day that you want.
Enjoy the day drink it all in as its over in a flash!
Enjoy the whole experience from the moment you wake up to the time you go to bed. Take everything in. I can honestly say it was the best day of my life and myself and my husband didn't stop smiling all day!!!!
Make sure you enjoy it - especially the big day - don't worry about arrangements as it's too late to do anything even if something doesn't quite go to plan!!
Enjoy the day of fully because it goes by so fast - if something isn't done, the guests really aren't going to notice!
Enjoy it! Take your time and really visualise how you want your day to look, what is important to you and what is not so important and then just really enjoy the planning and if you plan properly there will be nothing to worry about on your special day and you can really have a day to remember!
Relax and enjoy the day - don't worry about little things going wrong
From the moment you get engaged make sure you both enjoy EVERY minute!
Savour the day as it flies by
Relax and it'll all come together!
Although planning the wedding can be stressful and time-consuming, Do try and enjoy it as it will only happen once.
Tip 2 - Take 5 minutes to stand back and take it all in
Take 5 minutes to stand back and take everything in!
Walk down the aisle slowly and give your self chance to look into your H2B's eyes. I practically ran down the aisle!
Spend at least 30 minutes alone with your hubby at some point of the day. You need a bit of time alone to take in the day. Also if you are staying the night at the venue, ask them to put some of the buffet in your room. We were both hungry at the end of the night, didn't even see the buffet as we were too busy chatting to everyone.
Take time out on the day with your husband, the day goes so fast and before you know it, it will be time to wave your guests goodbye. We took time in the gardens after the photos were done and were not missed.
Before you walk up the aisle take a minute to yourself. The rest of the day flies past and at least you will have that one image in your head
Take time out to step back and look around during your day.
Spend time with your guests and try to take it all in.
Stop and take a few seconds at various 'big' parts of the day (i.e. just before walking down the aisle, or while sitting at the top table) just to take it all in and try and capture the way you are feeling in your memory - the day doesn't last long!
Make some time on the big day to stand back and take a look around at your guests and see them all enjoying the day that you have planned.
My top tip would be to take time out to look at your guests and look around you and absorb the day as it really does just pass in a huge dream
Enjoy your day and take the time to stand back and take it all in.
Try and take time to get together and look around at it all as the day goes so very quickly
Take five minutes out on your own and stand at the back of the room and just look...take in everything you have created. Watch your guests enjoy it all.
Tip 3 - Spend time with your new husband on the day
Remember to speak to/spend time with your husband during the day.
Relax and enjoy the day, it goes so quickly that it will all be over in a flash, don't panic if little things go wrong, nobody will notice! Spend just a few minutes alone with your new husband just to soak up the atmosphere of everyone enjoying themsleves then get back to the bar/dancefloor and have a fabulous time.
Take time out with your husband to step back and watch your guests enjoying themselves & have a private couple of moments to yourselves. The day WILL fly by so fast, so it's good to take a couple of minutes here & there to savour the feeling.
Spend as much time on the day with your Husband. It's your day and it should be spent together.
Spend lots of time with your new husband on the day and look around at all the guests enjoying themselves and its makes you feel so special that they are all there because of you.
Step back at some point throughout the day/night with your new husband and just take in what going on around you and remember its your special day and the small things really don't matter! Who cares if your knickers don't match the napkins.x
It’s worth all the stress spend time alone with your husband on the day as the day goes past so quickly you wouldnt believe it
Take time out to be with your husband at some point during the day.
Try to spend time with your husband at the reception
To take at least 15 minutes out for a walk with your new husband on the evening of your wedding so that you can stand back while the reception is still going on and reflect on how everything has come together and what an amazing day (hopefully!!) you have had.
On the actual day you've done everything you possibly can, so relax and enjoy it and let people do their jobs. Take a few minutes out with your new hubby to look round and take it all in, it will be over before you know it! Most of all relax and don't stress out when the day arrives. If anything goes wrong no-one will notice.
Spend as much time as you can with your new husband so that it is a day you will both remember. One of the best parts of the day for us was when we left everyone for half an hour to have pictures taken, we got chance to discuss the day so far and it was so nice to have that time of reflection.
Make sure you spend the day with your husband rather than individually spending time with guests
Relax! On the day just relax and enjoy the day. You really cannot believe how fast the days goes. So savour every little thing! Make sure you take 10 minutes here and there to talk to each other on the day away from everyone else. Our photographer let us do this whilst we were having our photos taken, and there are some great shots!
Tip 4 - Don’t worry about the weather
Don't stress too much about the weather as remember weather forecasts are notoriously wrong. We were predicted heavy rain but had sunshine all day!
Don't worry about anything, especially the weather. Lots of things weren't perfect on my wedding day (it rained and my new Husband threw up all night amongst other things) but I still think back at my wedding and remember it as perfect. Nothing bothered me on the day-I was in heaven and I'd been a total wreck in the 3 months leading up to the wedding. The day just went too quickly.
Try to go round every table at some point during the reception if you can. If it rains, don't worry.
Don't worry about the weather - if it rains, it rains. Plus a cloudy sky makes photos look romantic and atmospheric.
Tip 5 - Don’t forget the practicalities
Keep calm and sober, you'll be emotional so just one drink will send you over the edge
Have rescue remedy to hand - it was the only thing that got me down the aisle!!!
Give your best man some money so that he can keep you watered through your reception!
If you're wearing a strapless dress, don't wear a bra at all before you put your dress on. Strap marks don't look good!
Get yourself some rescue remedy for starter!! Relax enjoy it. I know its a big day but its not worth making yourself ill over people come to see you not inspect every detail about the day. Have fun it only happens once in your life (hopefully!)
Can I have 3?! (1) on the day, every now and again, stop and take in what is happening because it goes in a flash; (2) I danced all night and didn't touch the buffet because I was busy talking/dancing - get your venue to hold back a plate of buffet food because you will be starving at the end of the night; (3) Choose a last dance as well as a first - our DJ played unchained melody and it cleared the dancefloor which wasn't so great!
Have a friend or your mum keep an eye where possible on your hair and make-up and dress position whilst the photos are being taken.
Make sure that you have a plate of food taken up to your room from your buffet
Make sure your hoop fits properly if you have one. These seem to be a bit 'One size fits all', and walking around in it in the dress shop somehow didn't seem enough of a test, and it felt straight down on my wedding day, despite a dress fitting only 4 days previously. So make sure it's well pinned!
Have some food orderd to your room for after the evening reception as you will both be starving
Take a photo of how you want you hair on the day as well as to the trial.
Never go to the toilet on your own if you have full or long dress. I did and took ages to manage and when I did get sorted I hadnt put my pants on quite right and was having to much fun that I remained uncomfortable for the rest of the night haha
Allow more time than you possibly think you could need to get ready on the morning of the wedding, so you don't end up in a big rush (like I did!).
Don't wear stockings with sling back shoes as you beautiful walk down the asle turnes into monty pythons ministry of silly walks!
Drink some champagne in the morning before walking down the aisle, it'll relax you and give you a nice glow.
When going to the bathroom in big dress face the toilet- also if strapless dress no bra/socks on day (poss day before) of wedding so no visible marks. Main tip enjoy the day and don't stress.
Don't underestimate how appreciative guests will be of little touches and gestures. Eg. Our wedding was on a hot day and we put baskets of toiletries including deodorant and refreshing wipes in the toilets. So many people have commented on this!
Make sure that you have lots of time to get ready, and be the first for makeup and hair!
