Confessions of a bride-to-be by Erin Muehsler<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can hardly believe it. It is officially wedding week. After months of planning, Pinterest boards, vendor calls, dress fittings, and happy tears, Pierce and I are just days away from saying \u201cI do\u201d at The Tremont House<\/a> in Galveston<\/a>. It feels surreal in the best way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a bride-to-be and someone who gets to read Houston couples’ love stories every day, I thought I would feel completely prepared. But wedding week has a way of reminding you that the little things matter just as much as the big ones. So here is what I am focusing on to keep my head clear, my heart calm, and my week intentional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep this wedding week prep guide on hand so you can enjoy every moment leading up to \u201cI do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beauty and Self-Care<\/h4>\n\n\n

I planned my appointments early, so everything feels polished but not rushed. A glowing, soft spray tan, manicure and pedicure at Milano Nail Spa The Heights<\/a>, brow tidy, and a simple at-home hair mask are all scheduled. Nothing drastic. Nothing new. Just refining what already feels like me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dress and veil are being steamed and transported to Galveston. I am breaking in my shoes around the house \u2014 something I highly recommend \u2014 and I have my accessories and outfits laid out in labeled pouches so there are no morning-of scavenger hunts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packing and the Emergency Kit<\/h4>\n\n\n

I am packing as if I am going on a small trip. Jewelry, perfume, reception shoes, pajamas, and touch-up items are going into a carry-on. My Wedding Day Emergency Kit<\/a> now includes fashion tape, Advil, blotting papers, bandages, floss, a mini sewing kit and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, I am making space to slow down. A quiet coffee. Time with family. A letter to Pierce. These are the moments I will remember. Wedding week is here. I am ready to savor every minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
