In the hustle and bustle of planning a wedding, brides are often pulled in one hundred directions — fittings, vendors, family functions to attend, and work on top of it all. While this is an incredibly happy and exciting time, it can also lead to fatigue, sleeplessness, and stress if you let self-care take a backseat. Getting married isn't just about beautiful decorations or perfect outfits; it is about how the bride feels on her special day. Confidence, calmness, and inner glow cannot be borrowed; they must be cultivated in the days and weeks leading up to the big day.
Don't jam your planner too tight. Allowing some time in between appointments or vendor meetings allows for flexibility and alleviates stress if delays occur.
Amid all the partying, it's easy to skip a meal or overindulge. Bring a water bottle with you. Snack on fruit, nuts and light meals, and keep the desire for caffeine or fried foods to a minimum to stabilise energy level throughout the day.
Whether it is a 20-minute walk, a gentle yoga class or some guided meditation, engaging in gentle activity will hopefully release some tension and even improve circulation. Keeping your mood receptors balanced is important for your well-being.
You will want to book any skincare/body treatment appointments weeks in advance - or else you may be scrambling. Booking well in advance will also guarantee your best time options.

Anjali Tolani shared, “Give smaller details to friends, family, or even a wedding planner, and have trust. You may want to oversee your reign, but don't forget to enjoy the wedding for yourself! Getting away from micromanaging opens up space for yourself to simply be and enjoy the process at every step.”
Beauty sleep is real. Sleeping for 7-8 hours regularly can stave off dark circles, fatigue and irritability. You might want to try winding down early with some light music or herbal tea.
Arriving before the big day provides time to check on your last-minute preparations, time for your body to adjust, and avoids rushing from the airport to your mehendi appointment.
"An important aspect of a wedding is the celebration, but the most important one is how the bride feels on the inside. When she is calm, centred, and rested, her genuine glow radiates brighter than her makeup will ever do," says Ms. Anjali Tolani, Vice President of Celebrations, Tamarind Global.
