A guide to getting married on your wedding day

Your wedding morning should be stress free & exciting - whilst your wedding planner (hint hint) sorts out suppliers, time line & logistics Hour Weddings Gibraltar has put together a guide to getting ready on your special day

Self care in the morning 

Lots of water, vitamins, skin care & a tea. Try to relax in the morning as you have a long day ahead. Allocate as much as you can to your bridesmaids & groomsmen. Do not leave any tasks til the morning of - the day of your marriage is supposed to be super relaxing!

Food & drink 

Remember that both bridal and groom party need feeding & beverages. It is a long day (especially for the girls) & clients forget to eat. Pre order sandwich boards & ask best man to arrange soft drinks for both parties. A couple of bottles of champagne & glasses for photos is highly recommended (pls consider your make up artist & hairdresser in your food numbers.) At Hour Weddings we will happily organise this aspect of your wedding for you

Timeline

Always start an hour earlier than you think you should - make up, hair & photos take time - a lot longer than you think. Organise your timeline ahead to ensure you are not stressed that you are going to arrive late (ask your wedding planner to help you plan your timeline!)

Gifting 

This is the prefect time to hand over gifts for bridal and groom party. Ask your wedding planner for hints on your wedding day

Payment

Make sure your hairdresser & make up artist is pre paid or you get your maid of honour to pay them on your behalf 

Hangers, robes & shoes 

Layout all the above the night before - make sure your photographer gets to take photos of these before they are used 

Other things for photos 

- invitations

-rings

-perfume 

- Polaroid photos of yourselves 

- calligraphy vows 

- shoes 

- TikTok dance routines (I’m not joking!) 

Hour Weddings will assist you every step of the way & help you structure your timeline. We will pour your champagne & be your little helper for the morning. Gibraltar & South of Spain luxury wedding planners
