Top Tips for Dealing With Wedding Jitters

Your wedding is a magical day which will stay with you forever. However, it’s unquestionable that with a tag like that, there’s also going to be an element of pressure you need to manage. 84% of brides report feeling some sort of stress about their big day. And while a lot of this comes hand-in-hand with planning a large event, it’s unquestionable that standing in front of anyone as the “star of the show” is going to get the nerves jangling.

In this short guide, we’ll look at a handful of techniques you can employ to reduce the jitters ahead of your wedding. From the right prep for your body, to making sure you have all your ducks in a row, here are three important steps to reduce any pre-wedding nerves.

1. Take care of your mind, body, and soul

A healthy physical lifestyle can have a big impact on your mental wellbeing. A study from the University of Cambridge showed that even something as simple as getting between seven to nine hours sleep a night can improve your mood and reduce the chances of depression. Prioritise resting in the lead-up to the big day, as well as eating well and taking the time you need to unwind and relax.

2. Try to frame everything as positively as possible

Having anxiety over a wedding is natural. But worrying about everything going perfectly to plan isn’t realistic. Instead, try to think about everything that’s concerning you and frame in it a positive light. Here are some examples:

You’re worried people won’t have a fun time – They’re there for you, not themselves. They’ll be happy if you’re happy.
You’re worried about the weather – The weather is uncontrollable. What’s more, your wedding won’t be the first or last to take place in wet or windy conditions. Your venue most likely has a contingency plan.
You’re worried about things going to plan – It’s very, very rare for everything to run perfectly smoothly on a wedding day. As long as you have a rough plan in place, the chances of important mishaps are greatly reduced.

Take everything that’s bothering you and try to reposition it in your brain as a positive rather than something to be concerned about.

3. Schedule your big day well in advance

While it might be something which you need to think about well beforehand, having a clear timeline of what the build-up to your wedding should look like will alleviate a lot of nerves. If it’s too late to break it down by month, think about what the week-to-week (or even day-to-day) might look like right before the event. Having this laid out in writing will ease a lot of tension.

Your big day is for you. So enjoy it. Keep these tips in mind in the build-up to the wedding in order to reduce nerves and actually enjoy yourself.
