#5. Keep an extra pair of footwear always

It’s always a great idea to keep an extra pair of heels for you D-day. We just wish that nothing happens, but in case if your heels break or the strap comes out, you have an alternative.

#6. Beauty salon

In case you have booked a beauty salon for your makeup, call them well in advance and also ensure that it isn’t far away from the wedding venue. This is especially important if you are in a city where traffic jams aren’t something new or uncommon.

#7. Makeup

The bride should make sure that the makeup is in line with her dress and also as per the weather. Wear waterproof makeup if it’s a monsoon wedding. Try wearing a light makeup if it’s a summer wedding since sweat can ruin your makeup and leave spots on your face.

#8. Friends and family

Make sure you are never alone on this day. Always have someone on your side like a friend, sister or cousins. Brides would need a lot of time to get ready for their wedding day and will need the help of others, especially someone who is close to her to assist her.

#11. Stay relaxed

Well, you might want to avoid any additional physical exertion on your wedding day. Try and stay as relaxed as you can and grab a couple of hours of sleep during the day too if you can. It usually takes a lot of time to complete all the rituals, and most weddings run into wee morning hours.

#12. Diet

Eat properly on this day and drink lots of water and if you can, also a couple of glasses or juice. You’ll need lots of energy today so ‘DO NOT AVOID FOOD’ at any cost. Not eating properly can reduce your blood sugar levels and make you feel uneasy during the wedding.

#13. Don’t forget to pee!

And yes, one of the most important things you just need to do before entering the wedding venue and that’s to pee. There is a lot of nervousness and tension as and when you enter the spotlight. So, better freshen up beforehand and don’t feel uncomfortable.

#14. Smile

Yes, this one thing that most brides forget to carry with them on their wedding day. With emotions running high, most brides often forget that the photos clicked on this special day would remain with them throughout. This day comes in every woman’s life, and within a few days of the wedding, she happily settles in the new atmosphere. So keep that smile always on your face.
