There is a moment that is special for all brides: the night before the wedding. It is the moment to indulge in the butterflies in the stomach and wait with bated breath. But it also takes some organization.
Prepare a light and healthy dinner
Even though there are many things to do the night before the wedding, stay away from junk foods and help your body prepare for the “revels” of the next day. A plate of rice with tasty vegetables, wholemeal bread with avocado and salmon… The choices are many, but make sure you consume fresh vegetables and fruit, along with plenty of still water.
Polish the engagement ring
In addition to momentarily moving the engagement ring on the right hand, to welcome the wedding ring, remember to polish it and make it shine: it will be the center of attention just like your hands.
Refresh manicures and pedicures
Even if you have already had a professional treatment to prepare your hands and feet, treat yourself to a hand bath and a foot bath, then apply a generous dose of nourishing cream.
Think of nighttime beauty rituals
Along with your usual beauty routine, add a moisturizing mask or serum to wake up with glowing skin. Warning: use a product that you have already tried and that your skin already knows, to avoid allergic reactions.
Prepare the bag
In the event that the “dressing” is planned on location, make sure you have a bag with everything you need. From underwear to accessories, make a detailed list and check it several times.
Hang up the dress
After picking up the wedding dress in the atelier, hang it in a place where it is safe from everything. And resist the temptation to try it again… It will be better to get excited the next day.
Think of the “survival kit”
In addition to the bag with the most important things, fill a small cosmetic bag and build a real emergency kit. There will be plasters (also for blisters on the feet), any emergency medicines, safety pins, clothespins, a small comb, lipstick and a powder with mirror.
Turn off the phone
The evening before the wedding, treat yourself to a moment of social silence and turn off the phone. If this is not possible because you are expecting important calls, entrust it to a loved one.
Watch a romantic movie
To spend a relaxing evening, watch your favorite romantic comedy for the umpteenth time, or something that makes you laugh and puts you in the right mood.
Write a love note for your significant other
Surprise your partner with a handwritten letter. Just something short and sweet, which you can have your loved one delivered the next day, before the yes.
Give yourself one last kiss
Yes, we know, tradition has it that you sleep apart, but if you have the chance, treat yourself to one last kiss the night before the wedding. In some areas of USA serenades at the window cannot be missed: what better opportunity to kiss in the starlight and make an appointment the next day?
Start a diary
Don’t have a diary yet? The night before the wedding is the perfect time to start writing it. And, why not, you could even propose a diary for two.
Breathe deeply
End the day with five minutes of meditation and deep breaths. If you do yoga, do some poses to help you relax.
Indulge in a restful sleep
Finally, go to bed early and try to sleep. If counting sheep doesn’t work, drink a chamomile or herbal tea and get ready: the best is yet to come.
