Stress Less
December 20th, 2007 @ 11:26 am by Mrs. Onion
Stressing less is something every bride wishes she could do. Well, I got a great gift at my shower called “arOmaremedy,” which I blogged about right before the wedding.
I actually kept it in my purse for the few weeks leading to my wedding and brought it with me to Burlington. I decided to take a deep breath the morning of the wedding as I was getting my hair done and my photographer got such a kick out of it that she had to get a picture of it! It is actually very calming.
What ways do you ease your nerves when tensions are high planning your wedding or even on your big day? I know Miss Magnolia was considering running a 5K race the morning of her wedding and wondered if she was crazy. Any other ideas, small or large?

Miss Peacock - we actually used organic lavender on the ends of the pews for our wedding. Such a lovely smell (and it looked quite pretty), and I got to breathe it in as I walked up the aisle! Nice.
We also had a small, relaxed breakfast in my parents’ hotel room with just my immediate family. A very laid-back start to a big, full day.
Working out is a huge stress reliever for me. Nothing gets my mind off my troubles and makes me feel as great as going to the gym.
My stress-reliever was free: daydreaming about soon marrying my sweetheart! Oh, and checking out http://www.cuteoverload.com. 
I do few minutes yoga before I go to bed. It helps me relax. I planned to do just that the night before the wedding and when I wake up, followed by a glass of wine:-)
Bach Remedies - Rescue formula is what helped me!
Yoga is definitely a relaxer - we’re planning to do yoga at sunrise on the beach the morning of our wedding.
i’ll probably schedule in a nap somewhere during the day like mrs. ant. there’s nothing more relaxing for me than a nap.

About Me: I didn't think I'd be "that girl," but I am having so much fun planning our wedding (mostly by myself). I'm a PR and Marketing Director for a major jazz festival and camp by day, and by night, a romantic jazz singer and bride-to-be! I hope all my research can help other brides in their planning.
I have a small bag of lavender that I love to smell when I am feeling stressed. Lavender anything relaxes me- bubble bath, hand lotions, candles. I think I will need to have some on me! I think a long walk might be a good move, too.
