You’ve planned every last detail of your wedding: the dress, the flowers, the venue, the playlist and the seating plan (down to that one tricky cousin!).
But have you stopped to think about how you actually want to feel on the morning of your wedding?
It’s one of the most magical, emotionally-charged mornings of your life and yet it often flies by in a blur. At Bridal Artistry & Co we often remind our brides that your wedding morning isn’t just about getting ready. It’s about setting the emotional tone for the day ahead.
Your senses - that is your sight, smell, taste, sound, and touch are constantly sending signals to your nervous system. Those signals can either calm and ground you… or leave you feeling flustered and frazzled.
How do you want your wedding morning to feel?
What do you want to see?
Your surroundings have such a powerful impact on your emotions.
Imagine waking up to: a calm, light-filled room; your bridesmaids laughing softly in the background; a beautiful view of rolling hills; ocean waves through the window; your fresh floral bouquet freshly delivered and all the above with the glowing morning light.
Visualise the things that bring you peace and joy:
A photo of you and your fiancé, or your family
A stunning view from your bridal preparations room
A tidy, uncluttered space (it really does make a difference!)
Fresh flowers or foliage
Your mum’s smile or your best friends’ faces
These are the sights that will stay with you and be the emotional snapshots of your morning.
What do you want to smell?
Scent is one of the most powerful memory anchors we have. Years from now, a single whiff of your perfume could take you right back to that morning.
Choose scents that feel like you:
Your sense of smell can ground you instantly. Choose fragrances that soothe your soul and spark joy.
What do you want to taste?
Between the hair, the makeup, the excitement, and the prosecco, food can easily become an afterthought. But nourishment matters.
Plan something light, simple and satisfying:
Fresh fruit, pastries, yoghurt, or toast
Herbal tea or coffee (or bubbles if that’s your vibe!)
Plenty of water to keep you glowing
Snacks for your bridal party
A mint or chewing gum for a little calm freshness
A nourished body = a calm mind. And a calm mind = the most radiant version of you.
What do you want to hear?
Sound creates vibrations (vibes) and that creates the energy of your morning. It sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Are you a Zen bride, with soft acoustic tunes and gentle chatter? Or a Hype bride, getting ready to Beyoncé or Balearic beats, champagne in hand, dancing in your robe?
There’s no wrong answer - only what feels right for you.
Create a few playlists for the different moods of your morning:
“Soft & Serene” for hair and makeup
“The Hype List” for your champagne toast and robe shots
“Moments Before” for those deep breaths before you step into your dress
The right soundtrack can make even the simplest moments unforgettable.
Who do you want to feel around you?
This one matters most. Energy is contagious, especially when emotions are high.
Choose your bridal morning circle carefully. You may want to be alone or have 1 other with you if that helps you relax and stay mindful in the moment.
The main thing is you want people who:
Keep you calm when you feel wobbly
Make you laugh when you need grounding
Bring positive, nurturing energy into the room
Your wedding morning could feel like a cocoon of warmth, support and love with others.
Or you may prefer the peaceful stillness of your own company in a quiet space that feels calm, grounding and entirely your own. Remember, there are no rules - it is how you want to feel that is important on your wedding morning.
💄 The finishing touch: beauty that feels like you
At Bridal Artistry & Co, we don’t just create beautiful hair and makeup, our aim is to create calm a space for our brides to experience their unique wedding morning - however that looks to them.
We know the wedding morning is sacred - and that how you feel while getting ready is just as important as how you look walking down the aisle.
Our brides often say their favourite moments weren’t the big, staged ones.
They were the quiet, intimate snippets which included: the laughter, the scent of perfume, the song that played as their mum zipped up their dress.
A Final Thought
Before the whirlwind begins, take a moment to breathe and set your intention. Ask yourself:
“How do I want to feel on my wedding morning?”
Because that feeling of calm, confident and radiant is the energy that carries you into the rest of your day.
You deserve a morning that feels as beautiful as it looks. And we’ll be there to help you create it. 🤍
