One of our recent brides gave us the inspiration for this blog. She was so nervous and we did everything we could to try and help calm her. Since this wedding I have been gathering tips to help our readers deal with those pre-wedding jitters. Watch this fun video of Juanita and then read our tips below.
1. Drink plenty of water. Keep water with you at all times and drink even if you are not thirsty. Keeping yourself hydrated will help you breathe easier and think clearer.
2. Surround yourself with people who keep you calm and make you laugh. Make sure to restrict the bridal area to only those that make you feel your best.
3. Get ready early to and allow for plenty of time for pictures. If you are rushed it is going to add to your stress.
4. Don't drink too much alcohol. It is ok to have a small glass of champagne or wine but don't over do it.
5. Hire a wedding planner or day of coordinator. The less responsibilities you have on your big day the better.
6. If you are writing your own vows, don't worry about memorizing them. It is perfectly ok to read them during the ceremony. This will remove stress both for you and your groom.
7. Make a list. If there are things you are worried about forgetting on your big day write them down. Lists help to organize your thoughts and usually doesn't seem as overwhelming when yu can look at it on paper and check it off as it is done.
8. DELEGATE!! If you don't have a planner make sure to delegate family, friends and bridal party specific jobs to help your day go smoothly. Find away to let go of the control freak that is inside you.
9. Burn aromatherapy candles in your room and play relaxing music.
10. Find time for yourself. It is perfectly ok to clear out your room and allow yourself some "me" time. Sit with your palms facing upward on your knees and close your eyes. Concentrate on breathing and relaxing.
