An early start, getting ready, photos, a long ceremony, photos, a bite to eat (if you\u2019re lucky), speeches, and plenty of dancing \u2013 all in 12+ hours. Let\u2019s just say you wouldn\u2019t be doing it every weekend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/159615937?et=67IibwWsTUGGzSi9K3iZsg&#038;sig=eEfuDzIc0YiSQycY5bFdj__dsMznQdG_utrvkoimqoI=\" width=\"507\" height=\"398\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"display:inline-block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With all of those activities, it would be pretty easy to fall into a slump half way through the day. And unless wedding siestas are going to become a new trend (if they do, we\u2019ll be the first to give a full report), the changes are you\u2019ll be active all day. Here are a few tips to stay energised on your wedding day.<\/p>\n<h2>Eat a Hearty Breakfast Full of Protein<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s the truth, the first meal of the day will be the most important. Start the day on a positive note with a protein filled breakfast.<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid Red Meat, Sugar and Carbs<\/h2>\n<p>Ahh, three things we love (even together \u2013 yum). Tasty, but terrible for energy. Unless you want to stroll down the aisle slurping a can of Red Bull, this probably isn\u2019t a great idea. If you really need a boost, try ginger tea in the morning.<\/p>\n<h2>Snack throughout the Day<\/h2>\n<p>Graze lightly every few hours. Dry crackers, fruit and water will keep you on a steady level sugar wise as well as staying hydrated. Remind your bridesmaid to include these in your bridal kit.<\/p>\n<h2>A quick cooling off<\/h2>\n<p>Visit the ladies and quickly splash your wrists with cool water. Without needing to touch up your make-up, this will quickly re-energise you and keep you refreshed. You can also keep your mind alert by chewing on some ice.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image via Unsplash<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is no doubt a wedding day is pretty much like a marathon for any couple.
