To avoid this
situation, here are some easy steps that
would help you stay calm and stress free
on your D-Day!
1. Keep yourself hydrated
Whether you are getting married in the
summers or in winters, you need to
make sure that you do not get
dehydrated. The pre-wedding functions
can leave you with very low energy levels
causing you to feel drained out. Having
water, fresh fruit juices and coconut
water throughout the day will not only
keep you hydrated and full of energy but
also make your skin glow. Also, studies
have shown that there is a direct link
between water and stress reduction.
2. Always have someone by your side
Being the bride, you cannot do each and
every chore yourself. That would make
you tired even before the wedding
function starts. Some brides even get
paranoid if they are not able to find
something or get to somewhere, etc.
Having a friend or a relative by your side
24×7 on the day of the wedding will
keep you calm. You can tell that person
whatever you need and desire and also
you will have a companion by your side
to even talk about your feelings.
3. Go for lighter wedding outfits
The very heavyweight lehengas or
sarees that you plan to wear on your
wedding day can also be a matter of
concern. Wearing heavy clothing can
sometimes make you feel very
uncomfortable. The weight, the heat and
the uneasiness you feel while moving
around in them can be stressful. Lighter
attires on the other hand that are
accessorised well, leave you feeling
happy and light throughout the affair.
4. Time management
Time management is not only a key for
having a stress free marriage but a
stress free life too! Delays in anything
can be very nerve wrecking! So, make a
list of what all you need to do on the day
of the wedding right from the moment
you wake up and allot time slots to each
task. By doing so and following it well,
you can manage to get some rest before
you start dressing up. This way you will
be on time for your parlour’s
appointment and also reach the venue
on time.
5. Be involved and informed about
wedding preps from start
Don’t try to dictate your wishes to the
wedding planners at the end moment. If
things like decorations, the colour
scheme of the table cloth and cutlery,
which flowers are the jaimalas made of,
etc. bothers you that much, be involved
in the wedding preparations
beforehand. Let your vendors know
your likes and dislikes well in advance.
Cribbing at the last moment will not only
stress you out but will also put the
wedding planners in a difficult
situation?
6. Work on problem areas
Well, things left to the last minutes can
cause stress later on. So, work on the
problem areas beforehand. It is best to
have each member of your family
assigned to a different responsibility so
that you can cover all areas cleverly.
Your wedding day is the biggest and
happiest day of your life. Use these tips
to stay and feel stress free on your D-
day!
