How To Make Your Bride Feel Special

Personalize Her Ring
The rings are some of the most important aspects of a wedding. The exchanging of rings signifies a union between two people. No matter what type of ring you have, it will be special and cherished, but you can take those feelings to the next level with a personalized ring. Rings with dates, names, meaningful gemstones, or even quotes engraved on them are extra unique and a nice way to show the bride how much she means to you on your wedding day. A special thing to do for the bride on her wedding day could be personalizing the engagement ring she already loves if it hasn’t been already.

Help Her Pick the Perfect Reception Dress
Weddings are beautiful and elegant, but the party is where the fun happens. After all the stress of planning for a wedding, most brides are looking forward to letting loose and enjoying their reception. Once they slip out of their gown, however, they will need something a little more casual and a little less restricting. Go shopping with your fiancé so she can find a new reception dress that makes her feel comfortable, confident, and stylish as she enjoys herself.

Write Your Own Vows
Vows are often exchanged with the rings at the wedding, and while some people choose to recite traditional vows, you also have the option to write your own. Writing your own personalized vows allows you to say what’s in your heart and really express your love for the bride.

A special thing to do for the bride on her wedding day could be surprising her with vows you have written yourself, or you can ask her if she would like to prepare vows so you can each read them to each other. This can make you feel closer to your sweetheart and let her know exactly why you love her so much and how you want to spend the rest of your life with her.

Send Gifts to Her Dressing Room
While your fiancé is getting dressed and preparing for the wedding, consider sending a gift or two to the dressing room. If she likes to drink, you may want to consider a bottle of champagne for her and the bridal party. A special thing to do for your bride on her wedding day might be sending a basket of fruit and snacks, flowers, or even jewelry that she can wear while she walks down the aisle.

Make Sure She Has a Comfortable Robe
Brides go through a lot to get ready, and they have to be careful about what they wear before they put on their dress. Once their hair is done, it can be easy to mess it up. That’s why most brides want to wear something comfortable and easy to slip out of when it comes time to change. A comfortable robe can be just the thing she needs to feel pampered and special while getting ready. She can also easily slip it off without fear of messing up her makeup or hairstyle.

Bring Her Coffee or Tea the Morning Of

Weddings take some time to prepare for, and even if you have a wedding later in the day, your bride-to-be will likely start getting ready early in the morning. To keep her and the bridal party full of energy and excitement, surprise them with some morning coffee or tea. You can even plan a small breakfast for them. This special thing you’ve done for the bride on her wedding day will let her know you are thinking about her and appreciate everything she is doing.

Give Her Something Blue
If you are someone who follows tradition, you know that it’s good luck for the bride to wear something blue on her wedding day. You can make her feel special by getting her something blue that is beautiful and can be cherished together. It can be something as elegant as a necklace or bracelet, something as simple as a blue decal for the bottom of her shoes, or something as small as a piece of blue ribbon that she can tie around her wrist or flower bouquet.

Compose a Heartfelt Note
Few things will make your fiancé happier than your own words telling her how much she means to you. You can write a note and leave it in her dressing room. In moments of stress or nerves, she can open the note and read it. This is a truly special thing you can do for the bride on her wedding day, as this note is a memento she can save and even keep with her photos and other wedding memorabilia.

Hire a Hair and Makeup Artist
Your bride may already have a hairstyle and makeup look picked out. She could be depending on someone in her bridal party to do it or might even be doing it herself. Regardless, you can take away some of the stress and worry and make her feel like a VIP by hiring a hair and makeup artist. Send them to her dressing room and let them pamper her and handle everything. She will enjoy knowing that she is going to look her best without having to worry about finding someone who can do the hair and makeup she wants.

Organize a Photo Shoot
Most couples take a lot of photos during and after the wedding, but there’s plenty of photo opportunities before the bride walks down the aisle. Getting ready for the wedding can be an important time for the bride. She is with her bridal party, family, and friends, and she may want to capture some of those special moments. You can really make her feel like a star by sending the photographer to her dressing room or even arranging for a small photo shoot for the bridal party before the wedding.

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable and important times in both of your lives. If you are looking for ways to make it more special for your bride, be sure to consider some of the suggestions above. Your soon-to-be-wife will never forget how she felt on her wedding day thanks to all your love and support.
