Health and Fitness tips to get ready for the Wedding
Everyone wants to look their best on their wedding day. You will have these wedding pictures hanging the walls of your home and the homes of your parents and in-laws for all of the foreseeable future. You will forever be memorialized the way you look on this one day. It's too easy to stress out over your body. But here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Plan ahead. If you plan on losing weight, do it months before your wedding. There is nothing worse than realizing the day before that your wedding dress isn't going to fit. Make sure you have time to make the proper alterations.
2. Focus on the face. Wedding dresses these days are incredibly flattering. Most of what people will focus on will be from the shoulders up. Make sure you are using the right face wash, exfoliates; face lotion, etc. for your skin type, and the right shampoo, conditioner, and product on your hair. Also do trial runs with several make-up options and hairstyles beforehand.
3. Healthy is sexy. Do not get caught up in numbers and sizes. You will look your best if you are happy in your own skin. Nothing is less attractive in a bride than looking sallow, starved, and surely miserable. Especially in the days leading up to your wedding, make sure to eat right, get enough sleep, and do some light workouts to keep your body feeling fresh and to keep the wedding planning stress at bay.
4. Keep it simple. If your wedding day prep also includes looking your best for your wedding night or beach honeymoon, remember that some things can be much more attractive than others. Instead of bulking up, focus on toning your muscles. Instead of trying to become a smaller size, focus on becoming more flexible. Instead of building up your strength, focus on building up your endurance.
On your wedding day, looking your best is important, but it is more important to feel your best. If you can keep yourself happy and healthy for the big day, it will mean more to you in the long run.
