While weddings are exciting, they are also extremely stressful! There is so much planning and preparation involved for the big day, that it can take a toll on the bride and groom. While this post specifically focuses on the brides, our grooms can also use this blog as a reminder to focus on their mental health and wellbeing to look and feel their best for their big day.
Millions of small and big details need to be taken care of before the wedding day, and it is very easy to overlook various things. For instance, one may forget to inform the caterers to keep vegan options on the menu or forget to call the photographers at the event, etc. The possibilities of things going wrong are endless. Avoid those problems by having a well-organized to-do list because it will help you prevent the potential stress which could disrupt the whole mood and vibe of the wedding.
A month before the big marriage ceremony is usually very hard for the couple, especially an Indian bride as she has to prepare herself for a new home and a new family. There is stress related to the event and life after that event. It can be difficult for a bride-to-be to cope with all the anticipation, excitement, and an overwhelming number of other feelings that are attached to this big day. Getting that beauty sleep is mandatory not just for your inner glow, but also for your mental health. So, take one day at a time and get your long and deep sleep!
Want to know the most inexpensive beauty secret? It is hydration. For your wedding day, you obviously want to look like the most beautiful princess on this planet, don’t you? Yes, makeup can add an extra layer of beauty to you, but it cannot match your natural glow. Keep yourself hydrated as it will help you to cope better with stress, have more energy, remain more focused, and have beautiful skin and hair. We all know we should be drinking that magical element, but do we give our bodies the optimum amount of water? I don’t think we do. Go and drink that water now!
When shopping, it can be very tempting to have gol guppa or that ice cream, and it is okay to fulfill those cravings once in a while, but doing it too often can lead to acne, hair fall, and what not! You don’t want to feel insecure about your weight or skin during your nuptials, and you shouldn’t. Your wedding day is all about you, your happiness, and the celebration of your love. Eat clean food to feel and look good, and have beautiful energy to fully live and enjoy every moment of your day.
You should take care of your mental and physical health by regularly meditating or doing yoga or pilates. It is so easy to skip your workouts because of all the zillion things on your mind, but that is the deal. Working out will help release feel-good hormones and meditating will help you clear and calm your mind. Having a fit body and mind isn’t just awesome for vanity, but also a great tool to help you navigate easily through the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with wedding planning. So, sweat it out and take deeper breaths.
At Indian weddings, a bride is moving into a new family bidding bye to her biological family. Your family is your rock and spending quality time with them won’t just lift you up but also help you feel closer to them. The last few days before the marriage are very previous for you and your family, so be more present and grateful. This good energy will translate on your wedding day, and you will be one happy bride!
These are some very basic, but important tips for every bride-to-be. We wish you all the luck and happiness! You can also go and check our other blogs that will help you with your wedding planning. Ciao!
