Let your bridal party support you

Your bridesmaids and groomsmen typically stay with you the night before the wedding.

There is a reason for this!

Not only are they there to enjoy the time with you, they are also there for you to confide in. Unloading irrational thoughts is one of the best ways to reduce stress. Whether it’s laughing it off, or talking it over, your friends are there to help you deal with whatever your mind is throwing at you.

It’s vital that you use the support of your bridal party. These people are your closest friends, your family, and they will want to know if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Don’t feel like you’re going to burden them. They’ve been there for you in the past and they’ll be there for you now.

Nourish your body

It’s amazing what plenty of fluids and the right foods can do for your stress levels. Taking a swig of whisky may not be the answer to your problems, no matter how many old wives’ tales tell you otherwise.

Our gut is one of the first places to be affected by stress. If it’s not in a good way to begin with, it will be even worse once stress gets to it. This is something no bride or groom wants to deal with on their wedding day.

Believe it or not, some foods are known to be stress fighters. The night before you wedding, get your hands on some of the following:
