Pre-Wedding Healthy Diet Ideas for the Bride to Be

by Naomi Shaw 04 Oct 2021 0 Comments

Your wedding day is approaching, and among the flower orders, seating charts and keeping your normal daily tasks in order, you might feel you don’t have the time to take care of your body. You want to not only make it to your special day, but make it there in top shape! Let’s explore a few pre-wedding healthy diet ideas to ensure you have the energy for a vibrant wedding day, and the pictures to go with it!

Go for a health check

It’s important to start off any health-forward decisions and life changes in an organized and positive way. Getting a check-up is a great way to give yourself a health-baseline as you start your diet off. This will help give you peace of mind about your overall health, give you a chance to run your diet plans past your doctor. Make a note of your vitals like your weight and blood pressure, and compare them the next time you get a check-up to see how far you’ve progressed.

Go for a health check

2. Clearly define your goals

Once you have a handle on your health baseline, it’s time to clearly define your goals. This will help you stay focused on your goals in the long-term. For example, if your goal is weight loss, it will greatly affect the rest of your diet plans. If toning or general well-being is your goal, you may focus more on other elements of your diet.

3. Make a meal plan that suits your lifestyle

Don’t cut out every unhealthy thing you love!  Instead, moderate your meal plan to include more healthy foods, high in nutrients, and a greatly reduced amount of “comfort” foods. Many dieters experience flu-like SIBO symptoms when they start a new diet, as all the toxins in their body die off. Never fear! These symptoms last only a few days, before you’ll rebound stronger than ever!

4. Keep your meals simple

Keep your meal plan simple by specifically planning out all your meals for weeks in advance. This makes it easier to shop and stay stocked up on healthy foods before your wedding. This is a stressful time for most brides, but meal planning can take the pressure off, to decide what healthy foods you will be eating before the wedding.

5. Avoid processed food

Processed foods are not only unhealthy, they tend to cause bloating that could complicate things like dress fittings. It’s a busy time, but eliminating processed foods is as easy as substituting veggies or hummus for your normal snack foods. Or invest a little bit more in organic meats and veggies, often found at local farmers markets, to ensure you get the freshest foods, with the least amount of supply chain, refrigeration, freezing or chemicals.

6. A full colorful plate of nutrition

An easy way to quickly size up the nutrition of your chosen meal is to look for bright colors. A rainbow of colourful food means more vitamins and less preservatives. Consider cutting down on meat in the weeks leading up to your wedding, and substitute beans, greens, fruits and veggies for each meal for extra energy and increased weight loss.

7. Drink lots of water

Being dehydrated means more than a nagging headache. The more dehydrated you get, the less energy you will have, and the more aches and pains will increase. Drinking half your body weight (ounces) in water every day will help you lose weight, feel energetic and will keep your skin glowing and vibrant for the big day.

Take time to disconnect

8. Enough rest

Your wedding won’t happen without you, so take some time, and get some rest before your wedding! Your diet should be doing its job at this point, and now you take over to give yourself enough time to rejuvenate. Eating the right combination of healthy foods in this period will help you rest peacefully, while your body heals and fortifies itself.

9. Take time to disconnect

Just as your body needs a chance to relax, so does your mind. Make sure to schedule time to focus on things outside your wedding plans, to ensure normal tasks don’t pile up, waiting to hit you after the wedding. Can’t get away? Try investing in a pair of wireless earbuds, to easily and imperceptibly cut down on ambient noise in your environment, and help you relax to your favourite podcast or playlist.

Your wedding day has the potential to be both the most stressful and most wonderful day of your life. It’s critical that you care for your body and health before a wedding, in just the way you watch out for your partner, family and friends. Implement this healthy diet today, for a more energetic and fulfilling wedding day!

Terms & Conditions

Our general return policy applies to all eligible products except certain dresses listed below. You may return product(s) within 7 days for either a store credit or you may make an exchange. We do not issue refunds. A store credit will be issued minus a 15% restocking fee will be applied to all returns/exchanges. We do not profit from this restocking fee since our suppliers charge us this fee. An RMA must be submitted for approval in order to return an item. Shipping fees, if any, which were applied at purchase are not refunded. Once the item is received, an email will be sent to you with a store credit code that does not expire or an exchange will be processed.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO RETURN AN ITEM?

We offer a 7-day return window for most purchases (exclusions listed below).

The return window begins when your package is marked "Delivered" by the tracking system. From that time, you have 7 days (including weekends and holidays) to make a return/exchange request. You will be unable to submit a return/exchange request after that 7-day period.

ABOUT RE:DO RETURNS

  • Customers now have the option to pay $1.98 at the time of purchase to later qualify for free returns on that order.
  • Didn’t add and checkout with Re:Do? You will still return like normal and purchase a label through them with discounted shipping rates saving you time and money!

WHAT ITEMS ARE EXCLUDED FROM RETURNS AND EXCHANGES?

The following items are not eligible for a return or exchange:

  • Clearance items (will be clearly marked "Clearance" or have the price that does not end in $xx.99 or $xx.98)
  • Wedding gowns
  • Quinceanera dresses
  • Cinderella Divine Black Label
  • Tiaras
  • Designer dresses by Andrea & Leo Couture and DeKlaire Bridal

ARE THERE ANY FEES FOR RETURNING AN ELIGIBLE ITEM?

The following fees are as follows:

  • If shipping was complimentary at checkout, original freight/handling cost will be deducted.
  • Customer is responsible for shipping costs on return/exchanged items if RE:DO was not added to your order at checkout.
  • A 15% restocking fee for all returns will be accessed.
  • Packages that are denied and "returned to sender" or refused will be subject to a 50% restocking fee.
  • Please note that any amount paid for shipping is non-refundable.

WHAT IF I WANT TO MAKE AN EXCHANGE?

If you would like to make an exchange for a different size or dress, simply submit an RMA by clicking here . Once approved, you will receive an email with instructions. The exchange process can take 7-12 days. Once the item has been received and approved, you will receive an email with a code that you can use to apply on our website to make an exchange. You will go through the checkout process online.

If time is of the essence, place a new order for the item you need, then contact us by email informing us of this decision. If for some reason the item that you ordered is not available, it will not constitute a refund. In such a case, a store credit will be issued once the original dress has been returned.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RETURNED ITEMS?

  • Returns are carefully inspected; all original tags must be in place and the product must not show any signs of wear or damage.
  • Items found with snags, worn, washed, altered, ripped, stained, grease marks, pet hair, pen marks, perfume, deodorant stains, smoke odor and/or missing tags will be returned immediately at the customer's expense.
