10 Reasons to Spend the Morning Together with Your Soon-to-Be-Spouse

Let me give you the inside scoop on why spending the morning with your soon-to-be-spouse is an absolute game-changer!

Thinking of tying the knot? Let me give you the inside scoop on why spending the morning with your soon-to-be-spouse is an absolute game-changer! Take a cue from Olivia and Morgan, who kicked off their wedding day with a cozy twist. Picture this: a beach house in Oregon, the aroma of breakfast wafting through the air, and the two lovebirds savoring the sunrise from their window.

P.S. – You can still do a first look in your bridal attire after lounging in your cozy pj’s together!

First off, there’s something incredibly special about sharing a morning meal. Olivia and Morgan opted for a breakfast rendezvous, whipping up a storm together. From flipping pancakes to brewing coffee, their joint culinary adventure set the perfect tone for the day. It’s not just about the food; it’s about creating a memory, a ritual that marks the beginning of a beautiful journey together.

10 Reasons to Spend the Morning with Your Soon-to-Be-Spouse”

  1. Shared Moments: There’s something special about sharing the quiet moments of the morning together, like Olivia and Morgan did while whipping up a delicious breakfast in their beachside haven.
  2. Intimate Moment: Helping each other get ready fosters an intimate moment before the festivities. Olivia tying Morgan’s tie or Morgan helping Liv put in her veil– it’s these small acts that mean so much before the ceremony.
  3. Stress-Free: A shared morning can be a stress-reliever. Laughter over burnt toast or finding the perfect song while getting dressed can ease pre-wedding jitters.
  4. No Rush: No need to rush through your morning routine. Olivia and Morgan took their time, enjoying each other’s company without the pressure of a tight schedule.
  5. Photogenic Moments: A casual breakfast and shared moments of preparation make for incredibly photogenic memories. Candid shots of tying ties and adjusting veils capture the essence of the day. Giggles in the kitchen or splashes of coffee on the counter will make for the perfect moments frozen in time.
  6. Personalized Traditions: Create your own traditions. Whether it’s a sunrise breakfast or a heartfelt toast, make the morning uniquely yours, just like Olivia and Morgan did.
  7. More Time TOGETHER: I LOVE the idea of meeting up and getting ready together on your wedding day. Why not spend the whole day with each other, from breakfast to the send-off?!
  8. Include Your Bridal Party: Another fun idea is to still have all your besties with you, groomsmen and bridesmaids, getting ready together! Maybe a joint morning by the pool or beach?
  9. Low-Key: Take the pressure off the traditional timelines, make it personal and memorable for you both!
  10. Calm Your Nerves: Spending time together the morning of can be such a breath of fresh air, especially if you’re nervous!

Getting ready together? It’s a total game-changer. Olivia and Morgan helped each other don their wedding day attire, turning the getting-ready process into a sweet and intimate affair. No stress, just a lot of love and a few happy jitters. And off they went to their small, intimate celebration, hand in hand, ready to embark on the next chapter of their love story.
