5 Things Every Bride Should Do the Morning of Her Wedding

Your wedding morning sets the tone for your big day! Here are five must-do things to ensure a stress-free, picture-perfect start. ✨💍

1️⃣ Eat a Nutritious Breakfast 🍓🥑 – Nerves are real, but don’t skip breakfast! Fuel up with protein and healthy carbs to keep your energy up for the long day ahead.

2️⃣ Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate 💦 – Between makeup, photos, and champagne toasts, it’s easy to forget water! Staying hydrated will keep your skin glowing and help you feel your best.

3️⃣ Stick to Your Wedding Timeline ⏳ – Hair, makeup, and getting dressed take time! Follow your schedule to avoid last-minute stress and ensure a smooth, relaxed morning.

4️⃣ Have a Moment of Calm 🧘‍♀️ – Whether it’s a deep breath, a prayer, or a quiet moment with your bridal party, take time to soak in the excitement before the whirlwind begins.

5️⃣ Prepare for Touch-Ups 💄 – Pack a small emergency kit with lipstick, blotting papers, tissues, and a mini perfume to stay fresh all day long.

Your wedding morning should be joyful, not chaotic! What’s one thing you’re adding to your bridal morning routine? Drop it in the comments! 💬⬇️

Just Because You Found Them on Social Media Doesn’t Mean They’re the Right Fit…

Scrolling Instagram for wedding vendors? While social media is great for inspiration, it doesn’t always guarantee quality, reliability, or the right fit for your wedding. A beautifully curated feed doesn’t tell you if a vendor is professional, experienced, or able to execute your vision flawlessly.

That’s where Elana Events comes in. As expert wedding planners, we don’t just match you with vendors—we curate a dream team of professionals who align with your style, budget, and expectations. No guesswork, no surprises—just seamless, stress-free wedding planning.

Because finding the right vendor is about more than a pretty picture—it’s about expertise, trust, and ex*****on. And that’s priceless.

Don’t Forget to Make Time for Just the Two of You ❤️✨

In the midst of wedding planning, guest lists, and vendor meetings, it’s easy to get caught up in the details. But remember—the most important part of this journey is the love you share.

Set aside time for a private moment, just the two of you. Whether it’s a quiet dinner, a weekend getaway, or even a quick coffee date, these little moments strengthen your connection before the big day.

Your wedding is about you, not just the event. Prioritize each other, and the magic will follow. ✨

time, money, and stress? Here’s why:

✨ Budget Management: A planner ensures your venue choice fits your overall wedding vision without blowing your budget.

✨ Expert Guidance: We know the best venues for your guest count, style, and must-haves—so you don’t waste time touring places that aren’t the right fit.

✨ Contract Clarity: Many venues have restrictions, from vendor lists to décor rules. A planner helps you understand what you’re signing before it’s too late!

✨ Seamless Design: Your venue sets the tone for your wedding. A planner ensures the space aligns with your aesthetic and functional needs before you commit.

✨ Stress-Free Planning: Instead of navigating the venue hunt alone, let an expert guide you toward options that check all your boxes.

So before you say “YES” to a venue, say “YES” to a planner—you’ll thank us later!
