Being a bride means being excited, happy, expectant and, well, a little stressed. If I’m being honest with you, a LOT stressed. But being a stress free bride is easier than you think.
Weddings are stressful for brides (and many grooms), as it’s a big day with a lot of overwhelming feelings. For some people if this day doesn’t go in the exact way that has been imagined, it’s not a good day. To make sure you are a stress free bride, you’re going to need to pencil in relaxation to your very busy schedule before your wedding day arrives.
No one wants to walk down the aisle tense, worried, and thinking about things that could go wrong during the reception.
Many brides choose to use a wedding planning services like Simply Elegant Weddings to get their wedding just the way they’ve always envisioned it to be. This also means little to no stress for the bride and a day that can be beautiful and relaxed.
Because it is absolutely essential that a bride walks down the aisle glowing and full of happiness.
Here are four of the best ways to help you relax before your big day and be a stress free bride:
1) Put away the phone, the iPad and the computer.
Digital detoxes are a thing, though you cannot find them in your local spa.
The evening before the wedding, switch off all screens and put on some soft, soothing music. Get yourself a cup of hot tea and pick a comfortable spot to just sit and breathe slowly. Envision the day ahead and think about finishing up the day married to the love of your life!
2) Sit and focus on your breathing.
Meditation is totally underrated. There should be a bridal class for it, really.
There are plenty of apps and books that you can get hold of. You can find several guided meditation videos such as this one online on YouTube. Try to fit this into your morning routine, especially on the morning of your wedding; those ten minutes of peacefulness will change things for you.

3) Get the girls together for a pamper.
You need your girls around you on your wedding day and if you all take a moment to go away to a spa together instead of a bachelorette party, you can reconnect and unwind. Get massages, facials, and other spa treatments that will relax and soothe you before your big day begins.
4) Date your groom.
In the days (weeks and months) leading up to the wedding, you and your groom-to-be will be stressed, busy with wedding plans, and coordinating other days involving family and friends.
It’s time for some romantic dates to take yourselves away from the stress and remind each other why you’re getting married in the first place. Dating is so important, and it’s not just for the unmarried singletons out there.
Your wedding day is going to be a big day, and you’ll be busy with family and friends, and everything that is going on. Avoid getting swept up in the stress! Follow the tips above to be a stress free bride and glide down that aisle!
