Health warning, beware all brides! Sightings of 'bridezilla' have been witnessed all over the UK. You heard me correctly, 'bridezilla'! Wedding fever can send all sense of proportionality and rationale out of the window for the most level headed bride. It can happen to any of us, however, last year when I identified the early symptoms, I nipped this in the bud and took immediate action. If you think you are at risk or know someone who is you may want to refer them to our site;

1. Share your worry and concerns

A problem shared is a problem halved. If you are becoming stressed out and are feeling the pressure, you are not alone. Your bridesmaids are there to help you deal with all aspects of your planning and that includes just being there to listen. Don't let things blow out of proportion.

If you are feeling over whelmed delegate the smaller tasks to those you trust. Be clear and explain exactly what you want them to do so you can prioritise the more important goals.

2. Positive Relaxation

Schedule wedding planning tasks around your 'time out'. I know your wedding will seem like the most important issue in your life, and yes, it will take time to arrange but you can only be dynamic and energetic when you have recharged your batterys. 'Time out' need not involve hours of yoga and meditation, it can be a long soak in the bath or a short stroll. The goal is simply to put things in perspective.

3. De stress with a de-tox your diet

When you are on a tight schedule, eating may not be at the forefront of your mind. Plus it ties in neatly with your best endeavors to shed a few pounds before the big day. Big mistake! A size zero 'bridezilla' is not a pretty sight. Bare in mind these facts

Food does not mean fat, if you are adamant that you want to lose weight the combine a healthy nutritous diet with regular exercise.

Here comes the science girls; I am reliably informed that the Vitiman B group helps the central nervous system to run more smoothly and vitimin C can also help you reduce your stress levels.

You are too busy? Start to plan ahead. Try doing one big shop, plan your meals for the week and buy your entire weeks grocerys there and then. This will mean that you avoid the temptations of snack eating junk and save some money.

Try to avoid the chocolate, crisps and coffee. The burst of energy they provide is short lived and the draining negative effects can last far longer.

De stress diets should work around you, and your habits. If you like to snack around the clock that is fine, healthy snacks can help you pack in the vitimins you need to get you through the day.

Over the forth coming months I will add more top tips. If you have any of your own we would love to share these with you.
