If you don’t have a Wedding Planner for your big day, no problem! Here are some tips on how to manage your time on your big day:

Start your day with an early shower:

Begin your day by taking an early shower. Our stylist may recommend washing your hair the night before depending on the hairstyle you choose.

Hair and Makeup:

This should be scheduled based on whether or not you will be taking photographs prior to the ceremony. Typically our services take about an hour and a half for both hair and makeup. If you are planning on having pictures taken, we recommend scheduling our services at least three hours before the ceremony.

Photos:

Timing will depend on the photographer and how many pictures you want before the ceremony, but plan on spending about an hour on photos.

Getting Dressed:

Wedding gowns are magical creations and because of this can be a bit more time-consuming to clasp, zip, and button than a regular dress. Plan on spending about half an hour to get dressed. You don’t want to rush to zip a zipper and then create a whole other situation…

Eating and Drinking:

Too often brides go the whole day without eating. Don’t be a “hungry” bride. Have a simple breakfast of fresh fruit and a light lunch. Avoid anything with too much sodium as it leads to bloating. HYDRATE!! Staying hydrated is key to having a natural glow, especially in the tropical environment that is the Riviera Maya.

Ensure your wedding party is on time:

In my family, we tell one of my cousins, who is notoriously late, that all functions start half an hour early so we aren’t waiting around. If you know you have ‘that friend/relative,’ try giving them an earlier start time than your more punctual party members.

Don’t stress about the groom and groomsmen getting ready:

 

BAM! You are ready to go! Take a deep breath, walk that catwalk and say “I do..”
