<\/p>\nWe’ve got five tips to keep you relaxed so you can look and feel your best while saying \u201cI do!\u201d on your wedding day!<\/p>\n
Eat healthy and light the day before (and day of) your wedding. This is important to consider when planning your rehearsal dinner menu. Keep in mind that greasy and salty foods are more likely to cause bloat\u2014and no one wants to be bloated on their wedding day. Stick to fresh foods and minimize carbohydrates, spicy or sweet foods, and heavy dairy items as much as possible! (Post-wedding, you can go back to your regular diet.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Heavy alcohol intake can make you feel puffy and bloated. And who wants a hangover on their wedding day? Ideally, you\u2019ll want to cut out alcoholic beverages almost two weeks prior to your wedding to feel your best! We know that wedding planning, especially those final weeks, are high stress. If you do need a glass of wine to unwind, be sure to follow it with water. (You know the “every other” rule, right? That’s a good rule of thumb.) Throughout the days before the wedding, make sure you are drinking enough water. When running around stressed, taking care of last minute details, you want to keep hydrated.<\/p>\n

This is your time to relax. Enjoy a yoga class, a massage, or a mani and pedi if you haven\u2019t already done so. Before everyone starts showing up for your rehearsal dinner, you\u2019ll want to be refreshed, relaxed, and ready to entertain.<\/p>\n
Writing a note to the man or woman of your dreams can help you relax from a busy day of last minute details, rehearsal dinner hosting, and the anxiety of everything being perfect tomorrow. This can help remind you what is the most important part of the wedding day and why all the small worries aren’t worth losing sleep over.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Set a bedtime and stick to it! It\u2019s best to turn your phone off or silence it when you\u2019re trying to sleep. Scrolling social media or answering last minute text messages and frantic phone calls can wait. Let your MOH or wedding planner handle any last minute questions from guests. To help you sleep, consider a warm bath or shower before crawling into bed.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t forget to shine up your diamond! You\u2019ll want it as sparkly as can be for your big day.<\/p>\n
