So (i suppose) this day is VERY stressful for many brides and i wanna know what ur schedule was.
i.e. when did u get up, what did u hve for breakfast, where did u get ready (bridal suite, home, salon?) who was with u when u were getting ur hair and makeup done (mom and sisters, or friends as well)
what are some way u can prevent that EXTRA nervousness of the special day?
any tips? Dos and Donts?
can't avoid the nervousness/excitement :) its all part of the day!
i couldn't sleep the night before- the mehendi was annoying me and i was just so wired and excited. i was staying at my khala's house because there were too many people at mum/dad's and it was getting stressful.
so i got to bed at 3 am, got out of bed at 6 after getting no sleep, washed off my mehendi and went off to the salon to get my hair done with my cousin/bridesmaid. the other bm's arrived there shortly after. after our hair was done, me and my cousin drove to get my makeup done and i finished getting dressed. our wedding was at 5:30 and we were doing photos at 3 hence the early morning start.
i'd say enjoy every second! don't waste time stressing over who'll be there or the little things that didn't get done. its your day! enjoy being pampered and getting dressed and being fussed over. its completely and totally awesome :)
I reckon i'd be fretting around needing to go loo all the time. I did this on my engagement and the MUA was like SETTLE DOWN NOW! i went to the loo pre having my eye make up done, then as soon as she finished and was about to apply lashes, then before having my hair done... then again before putting my outfit on !!
oh I get panic attacks when I think of how the last day before wedding would be.
All emotinal about leaving your own home forever, excited about the new life ahead , stressfull about how the entire function will turn out to be, how I'll look ahhhhhhh can image already!!
I was just like you girls freaking out about it all and wondering what I would be feeling.
To be honest, its not that stressful anymore on the day of the wedding.
I had my mehndi/nikkah the day before, so I got to bed around 2am in the morning, woke up around 8am, had breakfast with my family. Then I had to run to the mall, to grab some last minute things. My sisters were also running around places to do last minute things. My sisters and mom left around noon to go to the salon to get ready. I had my MUA come over to my place to get me ready. So, I showered and waited for her for a long time, finally she came and and took a while to get me ready, I had a photoshoot after wards at my place as well. The banquet hall was closer to my place, so i waited until the barrat arrived and then left my place. I hated the waiting part. I also had to go to the loo after i was all ready and waiting to go to the hall.
Some tips would be: Make sure you eat, don't worry about small things let your family handle everything, focus on yourself. Don't stress, yes its emotional day however, its also your day, so relax and enjoy, it really reflects on your face. Most of it all, Just enjoy being a bride, the time goes by so fast so enjoy every second.
