The event of your wedding is finally coming! You've wished for this day since you were a little girl and you've put in 1 year preparing for this...the most significant day of your existence. You want every little thing to be perfect. Some ladies spend the last few days before their wedding ceremonies worrying over every last aspect. By the day of the wedding ceremony, they're consumed with stress, worn out and moody. Here are six guidelines to keep your wedding ceremony calm and stress free.
The Days Prior to the Wedding event
When you've carried out all the preparation and made all the arrangements, you can delegate the ultimate confirmations to someone else. The final thing you have to be doing on the day prior to the wedding is calling the flower designer, catering company, minister, etc. Allow your wedding coordinator do this for you-if any little issues pop up, she can take care of them.
Focus on another person.
You've spent the last few months centering on yourself-your flowers, your dress, your physical appearance, etc. You want to look perfect for your day... but that puts plenty of pressure on you. Make your mind off your wedding for a couple of days and concentrate on others. Take your nieces and nephews to the park and swing on the swings, spend some time with your grandma, or volunteer in your community.
Have pleasure in a pampering day.
The moment before the wedding, everyone's tensions are great. Bring your bridal party ladies out for a great day of indulging: massage therapy, manicures, pedicures and facials.
The Time of the Wedding Party
Get rid of expectations. Breathe deeply and let all of your anticipations go. The fact is that sometimes, silly things happen. The flowers are delayed, the cake is the wrong flavor, the flower girl gets the stomach flu. Allow it all go-today is the time you get to marry the person you care about. You would like to remember your wedding event as a day of love... not a time when you spent 30 minutes yelling at the floral designer.
Employ a professional person do your hair and makeup.
If you've ever had a poor hair day on a day when you wanted to look wonderful, you know that today is a good day to have someone else fix your own hair. Find a professional ahead of time and run through what you want so there aren't any surprises. Then on your big day, settle into a chair, relax and let another person make you beautiful.
Have a minute to be alone.
As you become dressed up, everybody is fussing around you and seriously getting themselves dressed and prepared. Give yourself a few moments before the marriage ceremony to sit quietly alone. Look for a quiet spot, close your eyes and concentrate on breathing. Your pulse rate and blood pressure level will greatly reduce and you'll feel much less stressed out. At this point you're prepared to say, "I Do!"
