Brides,
If you’re anything like me, you’re a little bit of a control freak and are obsessing about every last detail of your wedding. I’ve advised you not to sweat the small stuff before, and I’ll do it again. It’s just not worth it. However, we all know that’s easier said than done.
With my wedding 1 month away, all the final touches and last details need to come together and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling the heat. As someone who plans weddings for others, the bar is set high and it is important that things are just right for my own, but at what cost? As important as it is to have the ‘perfect’ wedding, I’m really trying to tame my inner Bridezilla and come to terms with the fact that sometimes, things don’t go as planned. There are plenty of personalities and emotions when planning your wedding and they must be considered. It’s understandable, brides can be a little cray cray with their requests but it is their day, after all.
If you’re stressing out, ask yourself if it’s really worth it. Sleep on it, explore the other alternatives and make a mental checklist of all that you have to be thankful for. If in the end you are still bothered, do something about it. If there is ever a time to have things your way, this is it! Just be mindful of the people around you as they have likely worked really hard in making sure your day is fabulous.
I encourage you to try my Anti-Bridezilla routine when you feel things aren’t going your way.
- Breathe
- Get it off your chest and call someone who will let you vent
- Take a bath with some relaxing music
- Make a list of everything you’re looking forward to
- Curl up in your hubby-to-be’s arms and know that nothing else truly matters than what you’re feeling in that moment
*Bonus* Wedding Stress Yoga {okay, it’s just regular yoga… but it helps!}
