Top 5 Tips to Feel Relaxed on Your Special Day
To avoid being stressed on your very special day, this blog is made for the sole purpose of compiling different tips on how you can feel relaxed on your big day!
A little back story, if you’re anything like me, you’ve already started worrying about your wedding day a year in advance. Don’t get me wrong: I’m really enthusiastic and certain that the day will be fantastic regardless of what happens! But I’m so focused on making sure everyone else is happy and having a good time that I’m sure I’ll need some help being calm and relaxed on our wedding day.
Consider your Location
Consider a venue where you may stay the night before and get married on-site. This will ensure that on your wedding day, you are in place and can enjoy every minute without having to worry about making a long trip to the ceremony. The more travelling you add to your day, the more anxious you might grow about arriving on time, with unanticipated traffic bottlenecks never a bride’s friend. In addition, if the venue you have selected (let’s say a church) does not offer accommodation, reserve rooms in the nearest hotel possible.
Sleep Early
It may take you longer to fall asleep the night before your wedding than usual, so go to bed a bit early and give yourself that time to relax. Comfortable linen bedding and a soothing playlist are ideal for preparing you for a good night’s sleep. Guided mindfulness meditations may be downloaded ahead of time into your smartphone to help you relax.
Treat yourself with a hearty breakfast
A relaxing blended tea and substantial, healthy breakfast served in bed for that additional pleasure is the right way to begin the day. Avoid oily and fatty meals, which may make you feel sick if your nerves are tense. Many brides say they are too nervous or eager to eat in the morning, but it is critical.
Play your favourite music
Make a playlist for yourself to listen to in the morning. Put a pair of Bluetooth speakers in your bag. Don’t forget your phone charger and your overnight luggage. Music has an important part in emotional balance, and you know the kind of music that makes you feel happy, energised, and calm; fill the area with these sounds and enjoy the sensation.
Be early
Above all, the morning should not be rushed. It is critical to include contingency time in case things go wrong in the morning. When the day begins late, it can be emotionally taxing, with tension readily heightened.
Having a hair and makeup trial not only ensures that you are pleased with the intended look for the day, but it also ensures that the time required to produce the look is recognized and accounted for in the wedding schedule.
We recommend that you arrive an hour before your event starts. It’s far preferable to be relaxed and know you’re set to go, giving you time to enjoy being with your bridesmaids and family rather than hurrying at the last minute.
