De-stress Like a Pro during Wedding Planning with these Quick-Tips

Whether you’re micromanaging your wedding planning or you’ve hired a planner, when it comes to finalizing the details of your wedding, emotions can run a little high. The key to not losing your head in the months leading up to the big day lies somewhere between staying organized and letting loose. Here are some tips to keep your sanity intact and keep the wedding planning stress in check:  

1. A Weekend Getaway

If things are getting overwhelming with wedding planning, it’s time to take a break. Take a road trip with your beau (because let’s be honest, you both need to destress) or escape into the wilderness for a weekend. And so it happens, OYO Ekta Houseboat near the Statue of Unity Vadodara should be on your radar if you need to unwind amidst nature with practically zero interruptions — Just you and nature. You will be surprised how a change of scenery can elevate your mood and fill you with positivity.

2. Meditate 

Amidst all the wedding planning stress your brain can easily turn into a trainwreck. Give yourself some time every day to calm your nerves. You can choose a guided meditation app, practice yoga, or watch online videos to help you get started. All you need is a comfy place to sit with minimal distractions. Just 10 minutes of meditation every day can work wonders and instantly help you feel more peaceful. 

3. Stop and smell the roses (and some candles too) 

After a hectic day of wedding planning, calm your nerves and say goodbye to stress and anxiety as you slide under covers by lighting some scented candles. Candles help you create a calming environment for yourself and are the perfect stress busters. Known for their soul-soothing qualities, they can shift your mood quickly and help you fall asleep faster. These little indulgences are necessary for helping you stay well-balanced. If you are a flower person, add some fresh flowers to your room that will uplift your mood the moment you wake up.  

4. Clean the Clutter 

Did you know, cleaning can be therapeutic for some people? Be it packing your trousseau or sorting your sock drawer, if you find yourself obsessing over the mess in your room, take some time off to organize and declutter.  

5. Make Time for Self Care 

Wedding planning anxiety can also cause you to experience physical symptoms like breakouts, reduced sex drive, headaches, and changes in appetite—even hair loss! Your skin health is something you cannot risk before your D-day. Set aside some time every day to pamper yourself and it can be an activity as simple as practicing a night-time skincare ritual. You can hit the gym, go for a long walk, go to a spa or just listen to your favorite music while reading a book. Self-care is not a one-time thing, it’s something you do regularly and preventatively to reduce your reactions to stressful situations when they arise.  

6. Have a digital detox 

Let’s admit, sometimes browsing social media can also cause a lot of added stress. So many inspirational reels from the wedding season just add more to the wedding planning stress. After a hard day at work or a weekend packed with wedding preparations, turn off all your screen. Put on some soft music and pour a glass of wine or a soothing cup of tea; take some time off to spend a tranquil moment just relaxing with your family, friends, or with yourself. 

7. Give yourself a few “wedding-free” days 

It’s natural that when you are a bride-to-be you end up spending a lot of time thinking and talking about your wedding. But over-fixating on it and not leaving any time for anything else can make your wedding stress level shoot through the roof. Try to have at least one “wedding-free” day every two weeks. Make sure that on this day, no one talks to or asks you about the wedding. On this day you can either spend time with family or friends or even go on a nice date night with your beau. 

8. Never compromise on your beauty sleep 

Is the delivery of your wedding clothes keeping you up at night? One thing a bride-to-be should never compromise on is her beauty sleep. A few drops of lavender essential oil and soothing lights are all you need for a night of deep sleep. 

9. Throw in a sleepover with your girls 

Sometimes the fear of starting a completely new life can be overwhelming. Take a much-deserved break and give your wedding planning stress some rest by planning a movie night with your besties. Get the girls together, pajamas on, popcorn ready and go. Flick through some old photo albums together, reminisce old memories or choose her favorite Netflix rom-com to have some laughs. 

10. Turn your bathroom into a spa 

If you don’t have the time for a spa day, you can turn your routine bath into a spa. A warm bubble bath can calm your nerves and reduce your wedding planning anxiety. Just throw in some bath bombs & bath salts, light some candles, and soak in the pleasant aroma that will engulf you. Make sure the water is warm enough to relax any tense muscles and use essential oils for added aromatherapy.  You can also use self-care apps to get a massage at your home.  

11. Cheat! (Not on your beau but on your diet) 

If you have been following a strict diet to look fab on your wedding day, give it a rest for a day and cheat on your diet. Indulge in your favorite cheat meal, be it paratha, pizza, momos, Pani puri, or ice cream, go all out and satiate your craving to feel relaxed and pampered.
