FOR THE BRIDE – Wedding Day Advice

So good evening readers, I have noticed that of late I have been posting a lot of advice for my dear Grooms, well…there is another side to this blog….YES!  The “She Said” part of the blog.  I do apologize for neglecting that side, so here we go with a little advice for the Brides out there who read this wonderful publication…….

Here is a little article written by Firefly Occasions founder & CEO, my wife…Ciara Daykin.

Brides always ask me in the weeks leading up to their wedding, “Ciara, what advice to you have for me on my wedding day?”

Well, the answer is LOTS… but there are really 3 key things that I think are important to remember on your wedding day that will help you get through the day stress free and truly enjoy it.

Here are my 3 Big Wedding Day Tips for the Bride:

1)   It Goes By So Fast- You’ve probably heard a lot of brides say that their wedding day went by so fast. Well, it is only a day after all and days always seem to go by faster when you’re busy and having fun. I always tell my brides that it’s important to stop during the day and take in certain moments so that they are forever imprinted into your memory. When you’re walking down the aisle, really relish the experience. When you’re saying your vows, look into his eyes and take your time. When you’re sitting at the head table, look out at all your guests enjoying themselves (and the centerpieces you picked out)

2)   Be Gracious- It’s a big day for you but it’s also a big day for your Mother, your Father, your bridesmaids and everyone close to you. There are a lot of emotions running through the air so it’s really important to be a gracious, humble bride. Just because it’s your day doesn’t mean common courtesy like please and thank you go out the window. Think before you speak… or snap… this is a day that will hold a lot of memories and you want them all to be great

3)   Thank Everyone- I can’t say this enough- make sure you thank EVERYONE. Make a list before your wedding of everyone who’s helped you with your wedding. Entire friendships have been ruined because a bride and groom forget to thank their friend for helping with an element of their wedding. Especially thank your family and his family (even if you don’t think they totally deserve it). It’s all about being gracious right?? You can’t thank everyone enough on this day.
