Expert Advice: Stress-free Bride Tips

In honor of Madeline Gardner’s release of the new Morilee line, we asked the designer to offer some of her expert advice on how brides can feel stress-free and live in the moment on their wedding day.

Embrace & Enjoy the Party

"All too often, our brides tell us that the reception is over in a blink of an eye – so make sure to embrace and enjoy the party! Take notice of and get photos with all your lovely guests that are there to share this special day with you."

Water & Food – They’re Necessary

"Remember to eat and stay hydrated! Sounds simple enough, but you would be surprised how many brides get carried away in the magic and forget to even eat one bite. Also note, champagne is not a substitute for water! Keep make-up on hand for touch-ups throughout the night, you’ll want to be camera-ready at any moment."

Girl, Dance!

"It also helps to bring an extra pair of comfortable shoes for when that moment hits and you need to swap out of your painfully gorgeous heels. Dance!"

Fairytale Moment

"Lastly, cherish every moment with your partner – it’s a once in a lifetime event."
