The bride’s ideal morning is light and carefree, it charges with positive emotions for the whole day and relieves possible tension before the most important celebration in life. However, it starts with planning a few moments ahead of time and having the right attitude. To prepare you as much as possible for this important moment of your wedding, we’ve teamed up with photographer Natalia Chet from Chet Foto to write this article. Attention: From now on only important information will come.
Natalia Chet is a professional wedding photographer based in Lübeck, but has been accompanying bridal couples on the German and European level for years. She accompanies you on such a meaningful day, is constantly around you and captures all the emotions and touches you experience that day. She makes you a promise: you will never hear her say “Everybody stand here”. She guides and helps when needed.
You can spend a fairytale morning alone or invite your closest relatives – mother, sister, best friend. Choose the option that is most convenient for you. This is the most important landmark! However, if you need sudden help, the support of a familiar person will be very useful, says Natalia.
Buy a delicate set of lingerie for the morning photo shoot: a bathrobe, a dressing gown and underwear. Choose a composition made of quality materials and of the right size, taking comfort into account. It is important to feel incredibly attractive and confident in these clothes. Your appearance should trigger a “WOW state” in you.
In the evening or in the morning, before the photographer arrives, prepare the elements of your wedding look: hang up the dress and veil, put on the shoes, lay out jewelry and other important details of the celebration that you are going to the want to capture photos.
Natalia has a very important tip for you: A good and restful night’s sleep of at least 7-8 hours contributes to a good and energetic morning for the bride. Before the expected day, it can be difficult to fall asleep, so a relaxing oil massage, a hot bath with lavender essential oil, or a light jog in the fresh air can help you eliminate your excitement and stop the flow of thoughts. Try to go to bed no later than 11:00 p.m.
It is important that the morning passes calmly and gently. A leisurely rhythm can be set by pleasant music. Everything is possible, from nature sounds to your favorite romantic movie soundtracks. Play melodies that soothe and inspire you. Or use our playlist for a good pre-wedding morning:
A full breakfast is always the key to an active day. On such an important day, don’t limit yourself to a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast. A porridge of whole grains with nuts and dried fruits, a nutritious smoothie or 3-4 fresh fruits will give you energy while not adding unnecessary bulk to your stomach. Avoid fried foods, refined sugar and dairy, and meat products on this holiday morning — such foods can make you feel sleepy again, according to Natalia Chet.
After creating harmony within, it’s time to work on your appearance. Relax and enjoy the preparations. Discuss the plan for the shoot with your photographer in advance: details of the wedding outfit, breakfast, preparations – in underwear, in the dress, with friends, parents, etc. Let your loved ones help you put on your wedding dress and veil. Complete your look with your favorite fragrance. And then it’s off to your future husband!
You can do whatever you want, it’s your tomorrow, it’s your day! It may sound like a cliche, but it’s true, there’s no other way to put it. Plan everything in advance to allow enough time for all the bride’s morning activities and allow yourself to enjoy every second of this magical moment.
