In fact, the steps that lead up to the wedding day, are not that much different from getting ready for another big event such as a prom, a red carpet event or a gala. Inside Out Start your wedding day preparation by making sure you feel good on the inside out. Food and nutrition are important, so stock up with protein treats and nourishing supplements to give you energy for the big day – after all, you will have to meet and greet all your guests, which can be quite exhausting.
