Your wedding day is among the most special days of your life. As a bride, you want it to be perfect and filled with happiness. However, to make the day genuinely successful, you need to make sure that you play your role perfectly.
Remember that while the caterers and the guests can all come on time, without you, the day will not be all that they have prepared for. Without further ado, here is a list of some of the most important things you need to do as a bride to have a truly successful and fun-filled day.
Sure setting the alarm for 6 a.m. on your special day does not scream fun, but it is an efficient way to ensure that you get everything done before you head out. Keep in mind that you need your hair done and your make up to be perfect. There is also a chance that some family members will want to give your pieces of advice before you get married. So, assume that hair and makeup will take an hour each, and you will take maybe 30 minutes getting into your dress. Set the time in accordance to that.
In the morning, you may be feeling overwhelmed and nervous. There is also a lot that you need to accomplish. However, make sure that you have set some time for eating some healthy food that will keep you energetic throughout the day. Remember that you may not have much time to eat anything else. In fact, most brides will not even have time to eat at their own reception. So, you need to ensure you have enough fuel for the day. You do not want to faint today.

As a rule of thumb, make sure that you have already sampled what the hairstylist and makeup artists can do before they come on the morning of your wedding. The last thing any bride needs is to hire a person who will not get the hair or makeup right. In looking and feeling like the princess you are, you need everything to be done right. Never wing it and go for someone just because they came highly recommended.
Your wedding day is the perfect time to make memories. It is the start of your new life. For the photo-shoot, make sure that you have everything you will need and that you have practiced for some cute poses before the wedding, so everything goes smoothly.
A lot of people have stopped their busy schedules from being here for you on your big day. It may not seem like much, but a quick hello will let them know that you appreciate their presence. Be sure to smile and hug as many people as you can.
Keep in mind that this is the first day of the rest of your life. You are choosing this person to be your life partner. So enjoy every step of the way. Say ‘I do’ with the biggest smile because it is a great day. Even if things do not go exactly as planned, find ways to have fun.
