Weddings can be hectic and one should definitely take out some time to de-stress and unwind before their big day. Wedding Affair brings to you some amazing ways you can let your hair down and de-stress before your special day.
Have A Digital Detox
After a hard day at work or a weekend packed with wedding preparations, turn off the TV, laptop, iPad and mobile phone. Put on some soft music and pour a glass of wine or a soothing cup of tea. Take time away to de-stress from life’s craziness to spend a tranquil moment just relaxing with your family.
Meditate
If you’ve never tired meditation before, now is the perfect time. There are loads of guided meditation apps and online videos to help you get started. All you need is a comfy place to sit with minimal distraction. Just 10 minutes can instantly help you de-stress and feel more peaceful. Give it a go!
Pamper yourself
Nothing beats a spa weekend with your girlfriends to ease a frazzled mind. A massage, facial or pedicure in a spa setting will easily de-stress you. A scenic location mixed with specialised spa treatments is the perfect tonic for a stress-free bride.
Stay connected
Under the pressure and stress of planning a wedding, it’s easy to lose touch with the person you love most – your groom-to-be. So find time for date nights, a romantic dinner, a movie or a weekend away. Squeeze in some quality time away from choosing chair covers and cake stands and remind each other why you’re getting married. If you’re having any last minute worries, tell him – he’s probably feeling nervous too!
Get active
Exercise is without a doubt one of the best ways to eliminate stress, so go for a run, join an exercise class at the gym or simply dance around your kitchen. Any type of physical movement will produce uplifting endorphins to help you feel more positive in both mind and body.
Calming scented candles
Create a calming environment for yourself by lighting candles throughout your home. A luxurious candle is the perfect way to de-stress. These little indulgences are necessary for helping you stay well balanced, so go ahead and treat yourself!
Start a journal
Writing down your feelings, especially any that are making you feel anxious. Any emotions you’ve been bottling up will be released once you’ve written them down and you can identify what’s bothering you and stop more worries festering. It’s a great way to get emotions out into the open and then deal with them in your own time.
Hot bubble bath
Taking thirty minutes to yourself for a nice warm bath will help melt away any stresses. Make sure the water is warm enough to relax any tense muscles and use bubbles or bath salts for added aromatherapy. As you lie in the bath, focus on nothing at all except breathing in and out – this will give you a moment to fully recharge.
Delegate
You can’t handle everything by yourself – as amazing as you are! Weddings are major events, so don’t be afraid to ask family and friends to pitch in and help make place cards, decorate tables and tie ribbons on favours. Don’t think you’re turning into a bridezilla by asking people to run errands. They’ll love that you asked them to join in! Just be calm and delgate duties. This will go a long way to de-stress you.
