If preserving your bouquet, give the stems a fresh cut, put it in plenty of water, and get it to the preserving place ASAP


If you’ve chosen to preserve your bouquet, we find it best to give your stems a fresh cut today, put them in water, and then get them to your preserve as soon as possible. It’s okay to ask a friend/family member to help with this if you are unable to get there quickly.

Wear comfy shoes

You looked fantastic all day yesterday, today, opt for shoes that give your feet a break!

Enjoy a Brunch

Take time to eat, and eat something good! Chances are your dinning routine was off yesterday, so give your body fuel today. A breakfast or brunch is a great way to start off today.

Double-check honeymoon plans/accommodations

If you’re traveling for your honeymoon, now is the best time to double check accommodations. Especially if you are flying or traveling far, it’s always a good idea to ensure your itinerary is set before you hit the road.

Open cards/gifts

Guests likely brought cards or gifts for you and your spouse to your wedding. If it’s easy to get your hands on them, opening these together is such a fun thing to do the day after you’ve tied the knot.
