Today, we have an article on pre-wedding self-care. It’s all about looking your best for the big day!
Establishing a solid routine in order to take care of your well-being is always important, but it is especially crucial as your wedding approaches. An effective self-care routine will ensure that you’re happy, healthy, and confident on your big day. Wedding planning can take up a lot of your time but you need to make sure that you’re taking time for yourself as well. Here are some steps for you to consider adding to your current self-care routine to improve your well-being prior to your wedding.
1.Check in with yourself regularly
We often find ourselves stuck on autopilot while taking care of our work and responsibilities that we forget to take time to check in with ourselves to see how we’re feeling. Allow yourself to reflect on your thoughts and feelings at the end of each day. This will allow you to discover which activities you feel good about and what you can improve to better fit your lifestyle. If there’s a task you’ve been completely that is consistently bringing down your mood, see if it’s possible to cut this task out or to have someone else assist you.
Consider keeping a journal to log these thoughts in. This way, you can look back on your thoughts later and celebrate the journey you’ve taken towards taking better care of yourself. If you using a journal isn’t your thing, just do some quiet, thoughtful thinking each night. Think about the activities you’ve been participating in to practice self-care and consider if they’re a good fit for you. This will also give you better insight on what self-care tasks are necessary for you to begin so you can work on incorporating them into your routine.
2.Get your nails done
What better way is there to show off your new wedding band than with a great manicure? Don’t forget to get a manicure a day or two before the big day to show it off in the best way. This would be the perfect time to splurge on acrylics or a gel mani to make sure that there’s no chipping or imperfections when your wedding band is first placed on your finger. Try out the nail salon once or twice before getting your nails done for your wedding to make sure that you’re confident in the work they do.
This tip isn’t just for the bride either! With all the close-up photographs taken of your wedding bands, it’s a good idea for the groom to care for his hands as well. Head over to a recommended nail salon and get a basic manicure to clean up your cuticles and soften your hands.
3. Add some steps to your morning routine
Getting ready in the morning is a major way that we take care of our bodies. Many of us typically do so by brushing our teeth, splashing some water in our faces, and brewing up some coffee. Since you already have some time set aside for yourself each morning, why not add in a couple steps that will make a visible difference to your body and wellness in the future?
These steps don’t have to be things that take a lot of time and cause you to have to wake up earlier. They can be small steps, such as taking an extra vitamin to improve your hair health or using an SPF to protect your skin from the sun. Quick activities such as these aren’t difficult or time-consuming and will pay off in the long run if you continue them regularly.
4. Be consistent with your workout routine
Many of us desire to improve our figures before our weddings so we can look amazing in our tuxedo or dress. Create a workout routine that you enjoy and that works with your schedule, then stick to it. The routine doesn’t have to mean going to the gym every day or hiring a personal trainer. If it works better for your lifestyle, focus on finding easy methods to get more movement in your day such as taking quick walks or climbing the stairs instead of using elevators.
Not only will you look amazing on your big day, but you’ll feel amazing as well. Exercise can improve your mood, stress levels, sleep, and more. There are so many reasons why you should make sure you’re moving, so get yourself into a consistent routine before your wedding.
5. Set personal goals
A great way to practice self-care is to build up your confidence. Confidence is a feeling that every person should have on the day of their wedding, so find ways to build yours up for your big day. One method to improve your confidence is to set personal goals for yourself. Setting and accomplishing your goals allows you to see value in what you do.
In order to set up your goals, consider what you’d like to achieve and by when you’d like it done by. Be sure to write your goals down and track your progress so you can hold yourself accountable. You can choose goals that are both related and unrelated to your wedding. Either way, seeing yourself carry out the tasks you set for yourself will give you a great sense of accomplishment and will further develop your self-esteem.
6. Express gratitude
A wedding is a huge moment in your life, so don’t forget to show your gratitude for everything that’s happening. Although wedding planning is tricky, don’t forget to be grateful for your opportunity to have this wonderful day surrounded by people you love. As you go through the wedding planning process, be sure to acknowledge the people and opportunities that you’re grateful for along the way.
Keeping a journal is a bit of a theme within these tips, but tracking what you’re grateful for in one is also a wonderful way to utilize a journal. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and to take everything happening for granted. Expressing gratitude will help you stay in a positive mindset and has benefits similar to those of tracking your achievements. Start taking notice of the wonderful things occurring around you and recognize how special they are.
7. Have a spa day
This tip is likely to be one of the most popular. Having a spa day the week before your wedding is an excellent way to care for your body and mind. Spa treatments are soothing, relaxing, and perfect for helping you glow on your wedding. A facial, massage, or a haircut will have you looking and feeling your best.
If a day at the spa isn’t in your budget, don’t count out doing some DIY spa treatments in the comfort of your own home! Spa treatments don’t have to be expensive! Make some face masks and exfoliating scrubs, invite some friends over, and turn on soothing music to create a fun, relaxing day. You likely have tons of useful ingredients already on hand.
Making time to practice self-care before your wedding is not something you’ll regret. It’s important to remember that this time is for you to focus on you and your partner. Self-care will provide you with many benefits during this time of your life. In what ways do you plan to take care of your well-being before your wedding?
