So today I am not going to harp on about the stresses involved in wedding planning, the lists that need to be made or the things that need to be remembered.. It’s your wedding, you want to create your dream\u00a0day. All the hard work will be worth it!<\/p>\n

In saying that, you as the bride should take a moment, or an few hours…every now and again to relax. Take a break from that wedding planning and leave the diary at home! Whether your ideal of chilling out is spending time on your own or hitting your favorite spot for a cocktail with your girl friends the choice is yours. You are the bride after all!<\/p>\n

Here are my Top 10 Ways For The Bride to Relax!<\/p>\n

10. Have a Bath<\/strong><\/p>\n

Light those candles, lock the door and enjoy some relaxing time to yourself. Don’t forget the bubble bath!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

9. Go For a Walk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes it is the simplest things that make all the difference, so get on your runners and take to the path.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

8. Hit the Dancefloor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why wait until your hen party? Gather together your bridesmaids and enjoy a night out on the town.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

7. Go for a Picnic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get your hands on a wicker basket and choose a scenic spot for a picnic. This is a perfect opportunity to spend some time with the kiddies in your life. If you dare…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

6. Read a Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Whether you are an a frequent reader or not grab a book or magazine and put your feet up. And no, the bridal magazines do not count…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a05. Take Up a Class<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may not think you have time, but all you need is an hour a week. Take up a fun dance class. Zumba is a personal favourite of mine!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4. Watch a Movie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get into your sweats, get cosy on the couch and watch a movie. There are some great wedding movies<\/a> you can choose from, ‘Bridesmaids’ is a must see!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3. Get a Facial<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sneak off to the beauty salon when no one is looking and treat yourself to a little pampering. You have to prepare your wedding day skin<\/a> right?!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2. Go For Dinner With Your Groom<\/strong><\/p>\n

What could be a better way to relax than enjoying a delicious meal with the person you love. There is one rule, no wedding related talk…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1. Bake a Cake<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gather your ingredients and get baking! Whether you are an avid baker or not so experienced the smell of your treats alone will put a smile on your face. Just remember to share!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
