Everyone has their own way to find peace within and around themselves. All the wedding preparations and high levels of anticipation can give you goosebumps and increase your stress levels. Before or after the pre-wedding rituals or in between them, take some time to free your mind of everything else.

Take a warm water bath or sit in your favourite spot of the house alone for a few minutes. As you are on the way to the parlour listen to some soothing music or meditate. Well, to each his own! But take out that one hour out of those hectic 24 hours, just to relax!
