Dear Bride
I know this is a crazy busy time for you and you’re worried about all that’s happening
and how fast it is. As someone who’s held your hand on your most memorable day and been
with you through it all, I have a few things to say to you.
Take it Easy. It all works out in the end, all of it. I know the colour is wrong today
and the dress doesn’t fit right, but it will. And even if it’s not perfect, it’s fine.
When you’re standing there next to the person who loves you the most in the world, and
your closest friends and family are around you, none of it will matter. So, take a
breath step back, and worry a little less.
Have fun. Enjoy the wedding, after all, it is YOUR wedding. Don’t be worried about
opening your hair and jumping onto the dance floor, have that shot (You’ll regret it if
you don’t!), be silly, and spend time with your friends and family who’ve made the
effort to be with you. Don’t let the wedding pass and be a blur, cherish it. Make the
memories! I promise you they’ll make for awesome dinnertime stories.
Ditch the latest collection. I know you’ve waited all year for it and it’s perfect, but
choose something timeless instead of it. Opt for something classic, you’ll love it
longer. My mantra is simple, when choosing an outfit for your wedding, buy something you
imagine your daughter wearing someday- You’ll never get it wrong then. Spend the extra
on the photographer. It’ll be worth it. Your wedding photos will live longer than you
and you don’t want something blurred hanging in your family living room. Take out the
time to make beautiful ones, and catch the sunsets, I know the candid photos look real,
but it’s the portraits you’ll want after a few years.
Have a Plan B. I know you have your A-game on but plan for a few backups. It might rain,
the dress may not arrive, and there may be a last-minute cancellation. Planning ahead
will make everything flow much smoother on the actual day.
And trust me, I’m certain it’ll be magical and more than you ever dreamed of!
Your’s
