BE POSITIVE

It's very easy to get stressed and fall into a funk while planning what is supposed to be the happiest day at your life. The journey matters just as much as the outcome. So don't let the pressure of prepping tor your wedding drag you into negative territory. Be mindful of what's happening around you and always try to remain positive in all your interactions with your partner, family and wedding vendors.

Unexpected problems are bound to crop up, so having an open mind and being able to accept issues beyond your control can help to ensure things will work out in the end and you'll both have a happy experience.

GET FIT. HEALTHY & TONED

Every bride wants to look her best for the wedding Unfortunately, some have the misguided option looking good mead: losing as much weight as possible. l have met brides-to-be embarking on crash diets just so that they could ï¬t into a gown that was two size- smaller than their usual size.

The reality of losing a lot of weight is that your skin loses its lustre and elasticity and you may not be physically strong enough to face the gruelling activities of your big day. It's more important to be ï¬t and healthy ,than skinny and tired-looking.
