Things Every Bride Should Know Before Her Wedding Night

February 20, 2018 · Beauty, Hair



You planned every detail of your wedding from the flowers on the tables, wedding decor to the icing on your cake, but when the white dress comes off and the party is over, you might realize you forgot to prepare for something important. You forgot about your wedding night!

The wedding night is one of the most anticipated parts of your big day. This is the first time you and your partner are first alone together as husband and wife, and there’s a lot of pressure to have the perfect night together. It’s hard not to feel the weight of the pressure to have a wedding night that rivals your favourite romance novels.

It’s supposed to be magic, right? The reality is the wedding night isn’t always what you’d think it should be. That doesn’t mean it can’t be special.

It’s Okay to Just Sleep

This might be surprising, but many newly married couples actually don’t “consummate” their marriage on their wedding night. Most newlyweds choose to just sleep on the big night. You’ve spent months and months preparing for your wedding, and you’ve had a busy and exhausting day.

Maybe you’re leaving early for your honeymoon and want to sleep while you can, maybe you just need to regain your energies. No matter the reason, it’s completely okay for you and your partner to choose to sleep on your wedding night.

You have the rest of your lives to spend together, you can afford to take time to recover from your wedding.

Communicate About Your Wedding Night

Communicate with your partner about your concerns. Set a plan for what you will do for the wedding night. Maybe after your wedding, the two of you will return to your home or your honeymoon suite for a quiet bath followed by a nice massage.

You may prioritize tying up loose strings before your honeymoon. You might need to finish your registry, in which case Bed Bath & Beyond wedding registry is a great option.

Perhaps you need to make last-minute travel arrangements for your honeymoon. Whatever the reason, make sure you talk to each other about it before as it is quite easy to forget to discuss this important part of the night with everything else happening.

Be Confident on Your Night

In the chaos of your wedding prep, you probably thought of everything to make you look your best on your wedding day:

  • But did you think about how you want to look on your wedding night?
  • Will you wear your favourite lingerie?
  • Will you freshen up your makeup after the wedding reception before retiring to your room?

Being confident takes time to plan, but it’s worth going the extra mile for your special night together.

Don’t spare any detail from Pink Gellac gel nails to your favourite hairstyle that makes you feel great. After all, it’s your time to shine and an excuse to get all dolled up.

Don’t Forget to Enjoy it

Whether you plan to have a “traditional” wedding night with your partner or you’ll be taking it at your own pace, make sure you enjoy your time spent as husband and wife.

This is a new chapter for you together. There’s a lot to explore together, and there is much room for growth in your relationship.

The weight of having a perfect night can be a lot to handle as a new bride. Realize that like your wedding day, nothing is perfect. You don’t need a perfect night to have a special, memorable night with your partner. Leave your expectations at the door and just appreciate this personal time with your significant other.

Be present in the moment. Before you know it, it’ll be over, and you want to make the most of your time.

The Gist of it

It’s easy to forget about the wedding night when preparing for your wedding day. This is one of the most exciting moments of your life, don’t forget to enjoy it. Ignore the pressure of having the perfect wedding night.

Whatever you and your partner choose to do for your wedding night is special in its own way, and there is no right or wrong way to enjoy your first night together as husband and wife.

How did you spend your wedding night?

    I think this is a great post and not one that many brides put on the top of their wedding planning list! I think a talk to discuss what you both expect a little before the wedding wouldn’t hurt!!

      Oh yeah! I know for me ages when I got married, it never happened as we were so caught up in the moment that we didn’t know what would have been the best thing to do once the party was over.

I’m borrowing this story from @jewishvoiceforpea I’m borrowing this story from @jewishvoiceforpeace Lucia Pizarro who worked for the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions in Jerusalem. Israel does not give building permits to Palestinians in East Jerusalem or in Area C of the West Bank (as part of ethnic cleansing strategies) and therefore demolished their homes. She forged deep connections with Palestinian families only to see their lives destroyed by the state of Israel. Then went back to her fancy neighborhood in West Jerusalem.

On Passover she celebrated that the Hebrews came out of slavery into freedom, telling the story as if it was her who was delivered from Egypt....but couldn't do it. She was a 10-minute walk away from East Jerusalem, where her friends were terrified that their home would be the next one to be destroyed.

She lived in Jerusalem with all the rights and privileges that her Palestinian friends didn't have. The Israeli state has imprisoned an entire people, and she was supposed to celebrate her own freedom inside of that same state.

A friend invited her to a Seder but she told him She couldn't do it unless Palestine was mentioned. With time, She created the kind of Seder She could live and share with others, discovering there were many who shared her same needs.

This Ramadan, please think of supporting Palestinian farmers by purchasing locally-sourced dates (not ones made in the illegal settlements), as are not only denied basic human rights, but their economic, physical and psychological states are in peril.

@hcicanada partnered with a local organization to source hand-picked dates from Palestinian farmers, to support them. 100% of the proceeds go towards aid programs in Palestine. You can get it delivered or pick up locally for free.

Spring is here and it’s a happy time for many, a Spring is here and it’s a happy time for many, a chance to get outside and enjoy time with others that we have t seen in a while due to lockdown measures and cold weather, limiting our interactions. For others however, it doesn’t make it any better. My prayers go out to the victims, families and friends of the Atlanta shooting. A tragedy that should not happen. Many Americans and Canadians of Asian descent have been facing racism, and the shooting was the latest and most heinous crime committed recently against Asian Americans. Stop racism in its tracks, stand and speak up against it.
