What's the bride's toilet situation like?

There are various concerns related to weddings,

but one that suddenly becomes a source of anxiety right before the event is the toilet situation on the day itself.*

Given the nature of the topic, it's not something that can be openly discussed on Instagram, but

* When does the bride go to the toilet?

* What if, due to nerves, she absolutely can't hold it anymore during the event?

* Can she even go to the toilet while wearing a dress?

These questions certainly arise.

Indeed, whether or not she can go to the toilet is important both physically and mentally,

and just knowing what to expect can provide reassurance!

In this article, we'll explain about the bride's toilet situation on the wedding day.*

Question 1: When does the bride go to the toilet?

On the wedding day, the bride typically goes to the toilet three times!

1. Before getting dressed in the wedding gown

2. After the ceremony and before the reception starts

3. During the reception when she steps away to change into the colored dress

It’s best to take care of toilet needs right before putting on the dress!

Question 2: Can she go to the toilet during the reception?

The reception lasts around 2 to 3 hours, which can be quite long.*

Even though she can go to the toilet during the outfit change,

there may be a moment during the reception when she suddenly feels the need to go!

In such cases, many brides try to hold it in and endure the moment.

Indeed, it’s rare to see the main character, the bride, disappear from the scene, except during an outfit change.

Furthermore, a wedding is a special occasion in every second. Many brides prioritize enjoying the moment!*

However, if she truly cannot hold it any longer, she should speak to the staff and inform them of her needs.*

They will help make time for her, ensuring guests won’t notice she's away for a toilet break.

Can she go to the toilet in her dress?

The answer is straightforward: No, she cannot go to the toilet while wearing the dress...!

It’s just not possible to lift up such a voluminous skirt, right?

So if she needs to go to the toilet while wearing the dress, she will first have to take it off.

It is common for her to wear a gown over her bridal undergarments and petticoat while going to the toilet.*

Typically, there is a toilet exclusive to the bride and groom in the wedding venue that guests don’t have access to,

so there’s no worry about being seen.

What should she be cautious about regarding the toilet?

Lastly, to avoid worrying about the toilet on the wedding day, preparation in advance is important!

For example, it’s wise to refrain from diuretic beverages like coffee or cafe au lait in the morning.*

During the reception, it's best to only sip alcohol moderately.

However, it’s also important not to limit fluid intake too much! This could lead to dehydration or feeling unwell,

so ensure she stays hydrated at least to some extent!*

Concerns about the toilet? Consult the staff!*

Anything can happen on the wedding day.

Of course, it’s ideal to enjoy the day without worrying about toilets,

but especially for nervous brides or those prone to frequent toilet visits, it can be a source of anxiety...

(especially if it's that time of the month!)

If there are any concerns, it’s recommended to discuss them in advance with the groom or the staff.*

Wishing her a wonderful day on the big occasion!
