A Bride and a Mum: Creating a Magical Wedding Day for You and Your Little Ones
Weddings are not just about two people coming together, they’re about families uniting, and when the bride is also a mum, the day becomes even more special.
There will be beautiful, heartwarming moments as well as funny, unexpected ones, and we will make sure to capture them all on camera!
Seeing your little ones walk down the aisle, holding your dress, or dancing at the reception will be memories you’ll cherish forever.
1. Involve Your Children in the Wedding Planning
Let your little ones feel like an important part of your big day. Depending on their age, they can be flower girls, ring bearers, or junior bridesmaids and groomsmen. To make it fun, encourage them with a small reward or practice walking down the aisle in a playful way. If they’re very young, a bridesmaid could walk with them to help with their task.
For a unique twist, consider having them walk down the aisle with you it can be a beautiful and emotional moment. Alternatively, they could wait at the altar with dad, making them feel extra special and involved. These little moments not only make the day more meaningful for them but also create adorable and unforgettable memories for everyone!
2. Bride Preparation: Allow Extra Time to Get Ready
The excitement of the wedding morning is a special experience, but when you’re a mum, it can come with extra challenges.
Children are unpredictable, they might need your attention, feel overwhelmed, or simply need help getting dressed, no matter their age. Allow for extra time in your schedule so you can get ready at a relaxed pace, handle any last-minute surprises, and still enjoy those magical moments.
Quite often, we have seen children helping their mum get ready, whether it’s fixing her dress, handing her shoes, or simply giving a sweet hug. These heart-melting moments are truly special, and we love capturing these genuine moments filled with pure joy!
3. Create a Kid-Friendly Wedding Experience
For those who have very young children, setting up a dedicated play area at the venue can be a lifesaver. Provide coloring books, small toys, or even a cozy corner with a movie to keep them entertained. Having activities suited to their age will help prevent boredom and meltdowns, ensuring they enjoy the day just as much as you do. Keeping them happy means fewer distractions for you and more time to fully embrace your wedding celebration!
4. Arrange for Childcare on Your Wedding Day
Consider asking a trusted friend or family member to help look after your children during the day. This will allow you to focus on celebrating while knowing your little ones are well cared for.
5. Prioritize Self-Care
As a mum, you’re always taking care of others, but don’t forget about yourself!
Before the big day, take some time to relax, book a massage, have a pampering treatment, or simply take a moment to breathe. Feeling refreshed will help you fully enjoy your wedding day.
Planning a wedding while being a full-time mum is a lot to juggle, so don’t be afraid to delegate tasks. Keep your children’s routines as normal as possible to avoid extra stress, and lean on your support system when needed.

Being both a bride and a mum makes your wedding day even more meaningful, filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments with your little ones. With a little planning and a lot of heart, you can create a day that is magical for both you and your children.
