Ways To Be Fully Present On Your Wedding Day
Almost every single newlywed couple we speak with shares the same thing with us: “The day just flies by!”. They’re not wrong. After spending months – or even years – planning the perfect wedding day, it all goes by in a flash. But there is something you can do about it! There are ways you can be fully present on your wedding day. Take a look at our list…
Manifesting The ‘Perfect’ Wedding
Here are the main steps you can follow:
Visualisation: Imagine every detail of your dream wedding, from the venue and decorations to the people you want to be there.
Set Intentions: Write down your intentions for the wedding, focusing on what you want to experience and how you want to feel.
Positive Affirmations: Repeat affirmations daily to reinforce positive beliefs about your wedding and your ability to manifest it.
An example of some wedding affirmations are: “My day is running smoothly and I’m so happy.” – “I’m surrounded by people who love me.” – “This is the start of a beautiful journey.”
Gratitude Practice: Be grateful for what you already have in your relationship and for the things that are yet to come, including your perfect wedding.
Take Action: While manifestation is powerful, taking practical steps is essential. Plan and organise your wedding, making decisions that align with your vision.
Stay Open: Remain open to unexpected opportunities and possibilities that may arise during the planning process.
