It’s very important to relax the day before your wedding to really enjoy every moment. Here are some steps and suggestions to staying calm before your big day!
- Staying stressed until the last minute will potentially take away from your special day. Try to finish everything days before your actual wedding day. Get an early rehearsal as usually a dinner will follow. Enjoy family and friends but leave all of the planning to someone else in your party; after the dinner go back home and relax.
- What does relaxing mean to you? This may mean being completely alone or with friends. Just make sure your family and friends are not stressed because you will inevitably feel this tension.
- DRINK WATER! A glass of wine at the rehearsal is fine but don’t over do it, you don’t want a hang over or headache. Same goes for over eating, don’t eat anything out of the normal for you. Try to stay away from foods with a high sodium (or salt) content as this will cause puffiness and bags under the eyes. Water will hydrate you, give you energy and help you feel refreshed, not to mention give you a glow!
- It's okay to ask for help and tell everyone how you really feel. If you hold back or try to do everything all by yourself it will build and give you anxiety. This is your time to relax, make sure everyone knows their tasks to make the most out of your day.
- Get sleep the night before! I know your mind is racing with anticipation, try some breathing exercises, take a warm bubble bath with some lavender aromatherapy attributes, higher a massage therapist to come to your house but remember to drink lots of water!
