What should the wedding morning routine look like for the couple and their bridal party?

A good wedding morning routine is about calm, not chaos. Begin by waking up a little later than usual, so you feel rested. Have a light breakfast together, then split into your getting-ready groups. Schedule hair and make-up with generous time, and always add an extra 30 minutes for unexpected hiccups. Dress in stages, so you can help each other with buttons, ties and veils. Keep phones on silent except for the photographer and your coordinator. Eat a proper snack at midday, and drink water steadily. If you are marrying in a religious building, check with your officiant about any timing or dress rules, as they can vary. Before you leave, take five minutes alone with your partner, or with your closest people, to breathe and set your intention. Have a clear plan for who brings what to the venue, and who collects you. The routine should end with you arriving early, not rushed.
