ARC’s Top Tips for Every Couple on Their Wedding Day
Your wedding day is a culmination of months, often years, of planning. Our job at ARC Events is to ensure it goes seamlessly, from the moment you wake up to the last dance of the night.
“What’s my job?” a bride-to-be recently asked us. Her question got us thinking...
Couples often ask us what they should be doing on their wedding day to ensure it all goes to plan. The answer is usually simple: your job is to enjoy yourself. But beyond that, there are some things you can think about in advance and certain things you should prioritise. So here we’ve compiled our top tips for cherishing every minute of your day.
Get a good night’s sleep: The night before your wedding can be full of excitement and nerves. However, it’s crucial to get a good night’s sleep, to give you the energy and clarity you’ll need for the day. Turn off your phone and take your mind off the planning well before bedtime. Take a bath and dive into a good book. Give yourself time and space to slow down and unwind. You know what you need to help you sleep well – just make it your priority.
Don’t scrimp on the pampering: Your wedding day is your time to shine, so don’t rush through the pampering stage. Whether it’s a relaxing massage, a calming manicure, or simply enjoying the birdsong with an early morning cup of tea, savour these moments of tranquillity before the festivities begin. It’s easy to think you won’t get stressed and then be caught off guard when times flies and you’re suddenly in a rush. Make everything as easy for yourself as possible in the approach to your wedding – and that includes your beauty regime. If there’s ever a time to call in the professionals, this is it!
Delegate responsibility where you can: While it’s natural to want to oversee every detail of your wedding day, consider putting someone else in charge of the logistics. At ARC Events, we specialize in orchestrating seamless celebrations, allowing you to focus on enjoying every precious moment without worrying about the behind-the-scenes details.
Stay hydrated: With all excitement, it’s easy to forget to drink water. However, maintaining proper hydration is essential for looking and feeling your best. Of all things, water is what you really need to dance the night away! Keep a bottle on hand or task your bridesmaids with keeping you hydrated throughout the day.
Take time for each other: The day is going to fly by so make sure you carve out time to spend alone with your partner. Whether it’s stealing a quiet moment together during the reception or sneaking off for a quick stroll, these are chinks of time that you will cherish.
Share special moments: Yes, your wedding is all about you and your spouse. But it’s also an opportunity to celebrate the family and friends who are closest to your heart. Try to share meaningful moments with all your loved ones, whether it’s a dance with your parents or a toast to your closest friends. In doing so, you will strengthen those bonds and create lasting memories.
Above all, enjoy! Yes, we’ve said it before but in the whirlwind of emotions and activities, don’t try to be anything but yourself. Exist in the moment. Breathe. Pause. Immerse yourself in the magic of it all and revel in the love that surrounds you.
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of love, and at ARC Events we’re here to ensure it exceeds your wildest dreams. By following these top tips, you can navigate the day effortlessly and create memories that will last a lifetime. So, remember those deep breathes, bathe in the love, and let us handle the rest. Here’s to a lifetime together!
