Yoga Bride: Getting in Shape for your Wedding

Yoga Bride: Getting in Shape for your Wedding
Guest Post by: Heather Heininger an Indianapolis Bride

You roll out your mat and sit down, crossing your legs. Class is beginning. You close your eyes and try to relax, shutting out the world around you, as the instructor informs you to only think, “I am breathing in. I am breathing out.” Sounds strange, doesn’t it? That’s exactly what I thought until I began to soothe out my struggles: stress from wedding planning and weight gain. My muscles were tense, my heart pounding, and my blood pressure rising. Not to mention a temper that was growing shorter with each passing frustration. I had to do something. I looked into the avenues of working out at a gym, but always felt belittled by those completely toned women running effortlessly on the treadmills for what seemed to be hours. What was I going to do? I needed to put the stress and frustrations of the wedding and my weight gain in check. I needed something. I found Yoga.

Through my internet searches, I stumbled across a small Yoga boutique on the South side of Indianapolis. I called the instructor with questions to learn more about Yoga and its multitude of assets to the mind and body. Most of us have heard of it, but do we all really understand it? I, for one, did not. I had only viewed it as strange contortions of the body that hurt to even think about. However, I finally worked up the nerve to show up for a beginner’s Hatha class and an hour later I was back to being my happy-go-lucky self. I was at ease and was able to let the stress of wedding planning brush past me.

Now, weeks later, I have noticed not only a change in my mental attitude toward life and wedding planning, but also a physical difference. Pounds are dropping off making that dream dress even more of a realistic achievement. I feel more refreshed in the morning and ready to jump head-first into the wedding planning again.

Yoga is more than just a stress reliever or weight loss program. It’s something to focus on that won’t hurt me if I practice properly. This workout of contortions can only help and strengthen me, clear my mind, and allow me to calm down instead of whipping up into a fury. It has allowed me to make it thus far in my wedding planning without a hitch.

Interested in starting Yoga before your big day?

Creating a Wedding Website for your Destination Wedding

March 1, 2009

Create a Window to Your Destination Wedding

With destination weddings on the rise, it is becoming more and more important for couples to have a means for informing their guests of their upcoming wedding plans as well as provide recommendations for out-of-town guests.

Wedding websites allow your guests one-stop shopping when it comes time for them to arrange their travel plans as well as other details. You can be as specific as you wish and link your website directly to the hotel reservation pages that you would like to recommend to your guests.

You will find that having a website is not only a time-saver but a budget-saver as well. The multiple mailings that can sometimes become necessary to communicate with your guests can easily eat up a good portion of any wedding budget. Allowing your guests to RSVP online will also cut down on your wedding expenses. No need for RSVP cards! However, you can always order just enough for those guests who may not be web savvy.

Destination weddings have definitely become a way for couples to express their style in a less traditional way. If you choose to have your wedding in a destination location, try to make it a fun experience for you and your fiancé as well as for your guests.

Destination Wedding Tips
1. Location, Location, Location. When selecting a location, choose one that appeals to your tastes and wedding style. Keep in mind, however, that because it won’t be as easy as going down the street to the local church to attend your wedding, you’ll have to assume that your guest list may be smaller. You’ll need to get a good sense about the number of attendees you wish to have before selecting your event facility so you can be confident that it will be appropriate for the crowd.

2. Less is More. Destination weddings can be expensive not only for those getting married, but also for those attending. Try to be mindful of that when selecting your wedding site so those who are closest to you can afford to attend. Consider having your wedding during the off-season so costs will be lower. Traditionally, accommodation expenses are covered for the bridesmaids by the bride’s family and for the groomsmen by the groom’s family. All other guests should be responsible for their own expenses. Most hotels will work with you to offer group discounts.

3. Assist your Guests. You may know the location that you will be flying off to for your dream wedding like the back of your hand, but most of your guests will not. Your wedding website can be a tool to help you educate your guests about the area, local attractions, accommodation ideas, the weather and directions. Making their job easier will only amount in a larger turnout at your wedding. Use your website to remind them of the things they may not consider such as a passport if required for your chosen location.
