Believe it or not, breakfast is the most important meal you will eat on your wedding day. With all the excitement of getting ready and taking photos, lunch is often forgotten by brides. And by the time dinner happens, you barely get a chance to take a bite between all the well wishers and toasts.
Starting your day properly fueled can make all the difference in enjoying every moment, and also ensure you don’t become a bridezilla! When making those last minute day-of plans, make sure you delegate the task of picking up a healthy breakfast to a trusted bridesmaid or family member. If you’re picky about what you eat, offer suggestions. And if you’re prone to nerves, have lighter alternatives so you don’t feel queasy!
