What to Do on the Morning of the Wedding

The exciting morning of the wedding.

"I have to express my gratitude to my parents before leaving the house..."

"I’m worried I might forget something..."

"I’m just so excited!"

You might have a mix of various emotions, and your feelings are likely heightened.

On the morning of the wedding, if you don't create a proper schedule and simulate what you need to do in your mind beforehand, you might later regret things like, "I forgot that!" or "I should have done this..."

So, this time, we will introduce what a bride should do on the morning of her wedding.*

What the Bride Should Do on the Morning of the Wedding① Eat Breakfast

Many brides find themselves too nervous or in a hurry to eat breakfast on the morning of their wedding, but it’s crucial to make time for it.

Once you arrive at the wedding venue, there are usually about 3 to 4 hours until the ceremony begins, and then the reception starts about 5 to 6 hours later.

You won't be able to eat anything in between, which can leave you feeling quite hungry, and there have been comments from brides who felt they couldn't eat anything at the reception because they were too hungry but also uncomfortable in their dress.

It would be terrible if you ended up feeling faint, so it’s very important to eat breakfast on the morning of your wedding.

Even though you might think, "What if I can't fit into my dress after eating...," just remember that you have over 4 hours until the ceremony starts, so most of it should be digested by then.◎

What the Bride Should Do on the Morning of the Wedding② Check Belongings

Don’t forget to do a final check of your belongings on the morning of the wedding.*

It's crucial to remember items like your wedding rings and transportation fees, so check them multiple times!

It's common for grooms to forget things too, so asking each other, "Did you bring the...?" can provide peace of mind.◎

What the Bride Should Do on the Morning of the Wedding③ Check Outfit

It's important to think ahead about what you're going to wear to the venue.

☑ Is it fine that my outfit isn’t button-up?

☑ Am I planning to go to an after-party?

☑ How will I do my makeup?

Make sure you don’t panic on the day wondering, "Is this okay...?"

If you find yourself stressing on the day, I recommend dressing in something easy to take off while still looking stylish and going without makeup.

What the Bride Should Do on the Morning of the Wedding④ Greet Your Parents

On the morning of the wedding, if you’re living with your parents, greet them directly, and if not, make sure to call or send a message.

"Thank you for raising me all these years."

"Please take care of me today."

It would be wonderful to express that when you welcome your wedding day.*

When leaving home for the venue, you might say "I'm off," but actually, "I'm off" has the meaning of "I’m going (and coming back)." Moreover, returning home can imply divorce, which is considered bad luck...!

Therefore, it is said that it is better to say "I’m off" or "I’m going" when heading to the venue.

What the Bride Should Do on the Morning of the Wedding⑤ Arrive at the Wedding Venue on Time

Once you’ve finished all your preparations, make sure you head to the wedding venue on time.*

Even if you’re thinking about arriving early to relax since you’ll be nervous on the wedding day, many brides have found themselves in a panic, saying, "I was so rushed this morning that I barely made it on time!"

So make sure to wake up with plenty of time in the morning and head to the venue without being late.◎
