Staying Healthy for Your Wedding Day A bride’s beauty will come from within. Really. If you’re happy and in control of your wedding plans, you will shine on your wedding day. If you’re exhausted, you will look exhausted. Now is the time to take extra caring of yourself—we know how crazy that sounds—you already have a full schedule. Time to set up a list of priorities to stay sane and beautiful. No one wants to break out in hives or have a pimple blooming on the week of the wedding. Again, focus on you. Here are some quick tips: Substitute soft drinks and caffeinated drinks with more water Eat less sweet foods (unless it’s from natural foods like grapes, honeydew melon, apples and oranges). Don’t forget the green stuff—plenty of it makes you feel energetic. Make special considerations for your personal needs. If you are prone to acne, then use a special antibacterial agent—but don’t try it the first time on the week of your wedding, because you never know how your body will react. Give yourself a month or two to see the results.
Your wedding day will involve much
kissing, especially with your new spouse, but also with family and
friends. Make sure your lips are kept moist during the week of your
wedding with lip balms or other preferred moisturizers. Don’t try to get that great suntan on the week of your wedding. You don’t want to end up looking like a lobster or with your sunburn peeling off. Don’t lose or gain too much weight that your wedding gown will look too loose or too tight. Don’t drink too much alcohol the night of the rehearsal dinner (if the wedding is the next day). Don’t try a new incredible makeup a few days before your wedding (you might have an allergic reaction). Don’t skimp on sleep the night before your big day. Don’t “worry” too much – that’s just wasted energy – you will need energy for the big day. Go for a massage one week before the wedding. Take a 30 minute walk every day or stretch for relaxation. You can spend ten minutes each day in total silence while at the beach, park or in your room alone.
