Get Ready to Slay: 10 Tips for a Fun & Stress-Free Wedding Prep!

Hey there, gorgeous brides-to-be and fabulous wedding attendees! We're all about making your big day prep a breeze- it’s actually one of our goals as the people you’ll spend your morning getting ready with. After spending countless mornings with bridal parties, we've got some fantastic tips that'll help you rock your getting ready experience with all the fun and none of the stress. Let's dive in and get you ready for the time of your life!

1. First things first – planning! Don't wait until the last minute, girl. Start early and make a kick-ass timeline for your getting ready process. Share the deets with your squad and make sure everyone's on board and in the loop. A little buffer time never hurts! In fact, it’s highly encouraged… just in case Murphy's Law decides to make an appearance.

2. Now, let's talk about glam. Trust us, you want the pros for this one! Get yourself some experienced hair and makeup artists who know their bridal stuff. And, honey, don't forget to do a preview session. You've got to feel like a million bucks on your big day, and doing a preview takes an eraser to those question marks???

3. Location, location, location! Choose a getting ready spot that's spacious and oh-so-comfy. Natural light is the real MVP for stunning pics, so if you can get it, get it! Turn the place into a mini-spa by lighting up some incense- like these, playing your fav chill tunes, and having some yummy snacks and drinks on hand in some insta-worthy cups. Be sure to check with your glam team what space, chairs, or surfaces they need.

4. You're not in this alone, girlfriend. Delegate tasks to your trusty bridesmaids or fam to take some weight off your shoulders. You deserve to be the queen bee without stressing over every tiny detail! Make one of your girls your point of contact on the day of your wedding to handle the silly questions from Aunt Sue and vendors announcing their arrivals.

5. And here's a little secret to keep the party going – make a Spotify playlist! Get those feel-good jams in there, songs that make you want to dance and sing along. It's the perfect way to keep the energy high and the smiles even wider. Make sure you download whichever list you want to listen to just in case you don’t have great service or wifi where you’re getting ready. We made a playlist just for this occasion- save it (download it) or use as inspo for yours!

6. Oh, and speaking of smiles, dress for success! Wear comfy, button-up shirts or robes while your glam squad works their magic. That way, when it's time to slip into your gorgeous gown, you won't mess up your fantastic hair and makeup. Remember to take off socks, bras, and anything tight on your wrists early in the morning so you don’t have marks when it’s time for pictures!

7. Snap, snap, snap! Don't forget to capture all the behind-the-scenes moments. Get a polaroid camera or disposable cameras to take candid shots of all the excitement and joy as you and your girls spend the morning getting ready. These pics will be priceless memories you'll cherish forever.

8. Listen up, ladies – stay hydrated and nourished! Use a bottle like this to make sure you drink plenty of water to keep that glow on fleek, and don't forget to have some light snacks to keep those energy levels up. And please, don't skip breakfast! You'll need all the energy to own that dance floor later.

9. Hope you won’t need it, but pack yourself an “Oh S#!% Kit” with the essentials: Tide To Go Pen, crochet hook for your buttons, Advil, sewing kit, pimple patches, safety pins, small scissors… think of all the moments where you thought to your self “I wish I had ___ right now!” and pack those items.

10. Lastly, remember to live in the moment. Take a deep breath and soak in all the love and support around you. Embrace the laughter, the happy tears, and the tight hugs from your squad. This is your day, and you're about to shine like a star!

So, there you have it, our top tips for a smooth, stress-free, and totally fun wedding day prep. You've got this, girl! Enjoy every moment and get ready to rock that aisle. Congrats on your upcoming wedding – you're going to have so much fun! 💕
