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

You know that old saying “new year, new me”? Well, ahead of the fast approaching 2025, we’ve decided to switch some things up around here and add a dash more sparkle into Bouquet and Bells.
This shoot was inspired wholly by the vastness and beauty of the venue as well as the unitarians inspiring ethos: Ullet Road Unitarian Church. We chose a beautiful day for the shoot, meaning the light flooding into the building and outside of the building was beautiful. We had a selection of dresses to change into for different parts of the church, and we utilised the late in different rooms and at different windows, as well as the doors for the iconic confetti shots.
