Modern couples are choosing mindful getaways for their pre-wedding events and bachelorette parties. Days involve outdoor activities, like yoga on the beach or forest bathing. Evenings include a farm-to-table dinner with artfully chosen wine pairings.

An integral part of wedding wellness is being kind to yourself and setting intentions that are realistic and attainable. Every day, each tiny victory, you'll see yourself move ahead towards the outcome you desire. Rituals are developed with consistency and increased practice.

Journaling is a solid practice for mindfulness and recording your wedding journey is a great way to begin your journaling ritual that can last a lifetime. Gratitude journals are a wonderful way to keep you positive, remembering all you do have and not dwelling on lacking.

Breathe…prioritizing your mental and emotional health is vital for the true enjoyment of your wedding journey. Four seconds is all it takes to become mindful and aware of where you are. Breathing is an essential human function; it is an art and an intentional practice. Practicing being present and aware of how you feel both physically and emotionally will allow you to make lasting connections of your wedding event that you will always want to remember with joy.
