Are you already tired of all the wedding planning? It happens. Planning a wedding is stressful and it can wear you down both mentally and physically. But you can’t give in to the tiredness because after all your the bride and you need to be at your best. Now don’t worry about that, we are here to help you with a few essential tips that’ll keep you energized on your wedding day.
1. Have a heavy breakfast
While some rituals in Indian weddings demand you to fast, we suggest you don’t! Health comes first and you need to intake sufficient amount of carbs and proteins to keep you going just like any other day. A combination of whole wheat toast, fresh fruit and Greek yoghurt makes for a filling start to the day.
2. Hydrate
Drink a whole lot of water to avoid any sort of dehydration, or else you will end up with a headache and feeling sluggish. You definitely don’t want that headache to kill all the excitement. Avoid sodas and sugary drinks as much as possible, as they will leave you tired and bloated. Be sure to consume 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day.
3. Breathe right!

The right way of breathing can soothe your nerves and calm your body of all those jitters. Inhale for 1 second, hold for 4 seconds, and exhale for 2 seconds. This technique will help you feel energized. Trust us, try it!
4. Cardio helps

Like any other day, you should be able to manage at least 45 minutes from your schedule on your wedding day too. Cardio exercise helps your body with its oxygen intake and makes you feel energized and fresh. It will keep your energy level up, keep you alert and get your muscles moving.
5. Avoid too much of caffeine intake
Yes! Caffeine is often considered as the best energy booster, but we strongly suggest not to overdo it because after the effects of the caffeine wear off, you could find yourself more tired than before.
6. Don’t skip your dinner
Right after the wedding rituals are over, the photographers will ask you to pose and pose and pose again. Amidst all that you would end up skipping your dinner. DON’T! You have another set of rituals the following day, and you need the right amount of food to keep the energy flowing. Have dinner first and ask your photographer to wait!
7. Keep moving or take short strolls
While most of you prefer sitting in the same place until you need to head to the mandap, but trust us it will make you feel more suffocated, tired and cranky. Instead, take a walk outside your room or out in the air, it will make you feel fresh and relaxed.
