Keep Calm and Keep Planning that Wedding…

For some brides-to-be, the period between announcing their engagement till the big day itself can be filled with stress, it’s a joyful time, but let’s face it, planning a wedding can sometimes throw up some challenges. Throw a pandemic and national lock-down into the mix and you have a very interesting situation!

So how can a bride-to-be get some calm in their life at this present time? We’ve pulled together some tips to get a bit of zen and keep yourself sane until the time comes to be able to press ahead and get your Wedding day finalised. There are actually a number of things you can do to relax, and make sure that you keep calm before your big day, such as…

Keep Calm and Keep Planning that Wedding

Meditation

Meditation is proven to help alleviate sleep problems, weight issues, stress, blood pressure and anxiety, and there are few brides who will tell you that none of these crept up on them during their wedding planning or even just in day-to-day life! Meditation and mindfulness can help you to be aware of every little thing that you're doing, allowing you to take time out of required and to help you keep all those little details in perspective.

Practice Yoga

Whether you're the type to cry at a Disney movie or you’d like to think you are made of tougher stuff, you may be surprised at how much yoga can help you balance your emotions. If you are extra emotional, yoga can help you get through the ceremony with your mascara in place and for the emotionless, it can nurture a softer side of you that only a special day like your wedding could bring to the surface.

Keep a journal

It’s always good to let your feelings out, even if they are negative. Jot how you feel down in a book or diary and you will find that it will summon inner strength, almost as though it is taking the stress away from you physically.

Make time for ‘you’

At this moment we all have a lot of time on our hands, so be careful not to waste that time, set aside some time in the evening to have a luxurious bath. Put on a candle, lower the lights, slip your favourite music on your player and just relax in the warmth and semi-darkness. You’ll be amazed at how much this will relax you.

Connect with your Partner.

You’re going to be with them for a long time after you have been married, so start before. In fact, in this time of social distancing, you’ll get a lot more connection whether you like it or not. Connect with them, enjoy them, share your hopes, dreams and fears with them. A problem shared is also halved, so learn how to be the best friend to your best friend.

The main thing is - do not lose sight of what your big day is really about. If you remember that celebrating your love and commitment in front of everyone close to you, then you won't stress over the bridesmaids dresses perfectly matching the table settings!
