Wedding Breeze

There is an epidemic that is sweeping the country and plaguing recently betrothed women. It is infinitely nasty.  Symptoms include bouts of selfishness, controlling behaviour, mood swings and compulsive meticulousness. Its effect can last from a few short days to many months. 

Only recently has this bridal disease been officially recognised and named it is Bridezilla Syndrome BS.  The best way of avoiding becoming a Bridezilla is preparation.  Check and double check your lists.

Evading Bridzilla Syndrome will also help preserve your judgment and wisdom and allow you to enjoy your special day.

The following stress management should help you escape the dreaded Bridezilla Syndrome.

1. Treat yourself and loved ones
Take time out from the planning to relieve the wedding pressure. Treat yourself to a massage or arrange to meet friends for a coffee. Take your mum to the exhibition that she’s wanted to visit for months. Don’t forget to spend quality time with your fiancé.

2. Maintain a sense of humour
As soon as you announce your engagement, you will receive unsolicited advice from everyone you know. Leading up to and on your wedding day, things can and often do, go awry just go with it.

3. Talk to your groom about his involvement
Some grooms like to be involved in the decision making processes that surround a wedding. Some just want to turn up on the day. This enables you both to know where you are in terms of the planning process from the onset.

4. Accept you can not control everything

Get a wedding planner to help with the fine detail in planning your french wedding. Wedding planners do the job for a living and will ease your worries without taking over. 

5. Keep everything in  perspective
It’s all too easy to get bogged down with the hundreds of details surrounding a wedding stress and panic take over. While there is no doubt that your wedding day is an incredibly important day in your life, it is just one day.

6. Dont sweat the small stuff too much

A year down the line, details like the colour of the tasssels on the order of service and the colour of the aisle runner really won’t matter and will have been forgotten. Focus on the excitement and wonderful memories that you are creating and try not to sweat the small stuff!

7. A daily ‘wedding talk’ ban may save your sanity
Set yourself a time, say immediately after dinner after which there is to be no more wedding talk. This should happen on a daily basis! Not only will this allow you to free your mind of wedding stress, you’ll be able to discuss the other things that are happening in the lives of your friends and family.

Do not turn into a Bridezilla at your wedding in France.  It spoils your french wedding photography.
