Imagine the morning of your wedding…

You wake up at your home, excited and maybe a little nervous.  Today is the day!  Your bridesmaids arrive, everyone shrieking in excitement.  Your hair stylist and makeup artist show up and start getting you ready.  But your girls are rummaging through the house looking for hair spray and safety pins, yelling out, “Where do you keep this?” and “Do you have any…?” every five minutes.  You keep getting interrupted because you have to play hostess.  Then, your aunt and uncle who are visiting from out of town pop in with donuts for breakfast.  You’re interrupted again.  Your blood pressure goes up.  The photographer arrives to take a gorgeous photo of you and your wedding gown…except the girls have dumped their stuff all over the living room and bedroom.  The whole house is a mess.

It’s chaos.

The big mistake most brides make that leads to a stressful wedding day is not considering the environment you get married in.

If you start your day in a loud, chaotic, hurried environment…it casts a shadow of ANXIETY over your entire wedding day.  On the other hand…if you feel calm and relaxed, you’ll project an inner radiance that stays with you all day long.

You owe it to yourself to pick the right location to get ready in.  It has a HUGE impact on your happiness and well-being on your wedding day…and it’s often overlooked.  Here are 3 tips to choosing the right environment.

1) Choose a relaxing, inspiring environment to get ready in.  Ideally, this should be outside your home so you don’t get distracted by hostess duties.  YOU should be the one everyone caters to…not the other way around.  Your location should have lots of natural light and neutral colors that complement your gown.

2) Get ready in the room with the most natural light.  Clear away any clutter…those Precious Moments figurines on the mantle, the dozens of family photos…and simplify the decor.

3) Do all your cleaning and de-cluttering BEFORE the wedding.  You don’t want to be rushing around, jamming things into closets on the morning of your wedding.
