5 Things to Remember to Do on Your Wedding Day

Important Tips for a Stress-free Wedding

After hosting many weddings at Cotton Gin No. 116, we�ve become very familiar with the different stressors that brides can feel. There are a lot of things to remember to do on your wedding day.

With such a frenzy the day of, it can be easy to lose focus on your big day if you don�t take a little time to prepare for the unexpected.

Don�t worry! We�ve compiled our top 5 things to remember to do on your wedding day that should help cut down any stress that may be creeping in.

Get to Bed Early the Night Before

It�s easy to get butterflies the night before your wedding and maybe even a little anxiety, but that�s not unusual. It�s a very big step in life after all.

Do not go out partying! I repeat, DO NOT GO OUT PARTYING!! You do not want to be hungover on your wedding day, save the rowdiness for the reception.

Start relaxing early, consider a bubble bath and candles for a very calming vibe. Or maybe some yoga, if that is what relaxes you best.

Eat Breakfast

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a reason, and �they� don�t lie.

Stick with something light and healthy so you�re not feeling uncomfortable once your wedding dress is on.

Fresh fruit is a refreshing way to restore your glucose levels after a nice restful evening. Plus, if you opt to include some melon in the mix, you�re already onto the next tip!

Stay Hydrated

Your hydration levels can directly affect your mood, and you�ll want to be happy on your wedding day.

Along with the previously mentioned melon for breakfast, make sure that you�re drinking enough water throughout the day. Not only does it help your mood, being properly hydrated will improve the appearance of your skin, and who doesn�t want to be glowing on their big day?

And don�t forget that you�ve got a whole evening of celebration ahead of you, sip some water between alcoholic drinks to help prevent a hangover the following day.

Pack a Wedding Day Emergency Kit

When you pack a wedding day emergency kit, you�re just planning for the unexpected. Anything can happen and you want to be ready.

We recommend some items such as a Tide-to-Go pen for any spills, some additional make-up if any touch ups are needed, and a mini-sewing kit just in case.

It�s a good idea to have a snack on hand as well. Since your breakfast wasn�t too heavy, you may need a little pick me up at some point. It�s always good to be prepared!

Most Importantly � Have Fun!

Though this should be obvious, it can�t go without saying, you�ve got to enjoy your wedding and things may not go exactly as planned, but you�ve got to have fun.

Take mental pictures of the highlights and you�ll find that there are a lot of them. Soon you�ll have a whole photo album in your mind of the special moments.

This probably is the number one thing we like to ensure when we have a wedding at Cotton Gin No. 116 in Brookshire, TX � your big day is all about you and your love, enjoy it!
