Wedding Bliss

SPECIAL TO THE SUN
The time has come! It’s your wedding day. It is the most important day of your life. So why should
you be stressed?
Before you tie the knot, here are a few tips to make your day the best it can be.
Expert Planning! - If you find it hard to plan a wedding on your own, hire a high-quality wedding
planner. It will lessen the stress of the wedding, and it’s always good to know an experts opinion &
guidance throughout the process.
Dolled Up! - Time for the dress! Choose your wedding gown to accent your colors, figure, and personal
style. If it does not look or feel right on you, don’t buy it! Hair, makeup, and accessories
should compliment your wedding gown, not overshadow it. Make sure to try out your wedding look be-
fore the big day to remember exactly what you want when you walk down the aisle. *Some of the same
rules apply to men as well*
Calm under Chaos! - On the day your wedding, everything should be in place, but unexpected things
can happen. If there is a storm coming, or a storm of people ringing in your ear, don’t panic! If
someone in your wedding party is late, too bad! No matter what happens, pray, and keep going, the
wedding must go on.
Flower Power! - Flowers are the finishing touch to any wedding. Choose flowers that coincide with your
colors, and style of your wedding. Bouquets, boutonnières, and other arrangements will add some
spark to the atmosphere!
Timeless Memories - To make your wedding timeless, make a memory table cloth with scanned
pictures of past weddings of your ancestors, or place the pictures on the table with a picture of you
and your new companion in the middle. Back and white photos capture that timeless, elegant look to
the wedding and keep the spirit of love alive on your special day.
Spa Therapy! - To relax before the wedding, plan a spa day with some of the closest girls. Pampering
yourself is the perfect way to release stress while planning a wedding.
Dance Off! - A couple’s first dance should be memorable. So, if you want to improve your skills,
take a dance class, like the Waltz to prepare you for that intimate moment.
Tipsy! - A Wedding is a festive occasion, but if the bride or groom is drunk, it can be embarrassing! So
make sure to drink water as well during the night and don’t overdue it with the alcohol (you don’t want
drunk pictures!). After all, you want to remember your wedding night.
Step Out! – Not everybody wants a traditional wedding. So, if you want to be different, plan a theme
wedding, or have a garden or beach ceremony instead of a church ceremony. Wear your favorite
color dress instead of a classic white dress. Whatever you want to step out of the box, it’s your day.
*Also, remember to be yourself on your wedding day. Be the most beautiful version of yourself and
don’t try to look like everyone else. You want to look classy and glamorous be still be recognizable.
Your wedding day is the beginning of a new life for you and your spouse, so make it shine, don’t stress
out and have fun!
