Wedding season can be an exciting time of year. It’s a time when we take a break from our everyday working lives and devote time to our family and loved ones. It’s an excuse to get dressed up, go somewhere new and enjoy the celebrations. Despite this, it can also be a stressful and expensive time of year.

As the invitations pile up on your doormat, the stresses of getting ready for all those weddings may pile up in your mind. To help take away some of this, Jasmine Silk has put together some simple tips and advice on how to get ready for wedding season, so that you can relax and enjoy it.

Wedding Attire

If you have multiple weddings to attend this summer, you will need to make sure your wardrobe is prepared. Have you got enough wedding-worthy attire to get you through?

If not, learn when the sales are on and stock up on dresses, suits, ties or whatever you may need. If you’re on a budget, try sprucing up old wedding outfits with new accessories such as a new hat or a new clutch. That way you can save money on new outfits, while also looking chic at every event. Just make sure you respect the wishes of the bride and groom if they ask for certain attire – and don’t wear white unless you’re asked to.

Organise Your Gifting

Another important aspect of wedding season is the gifts you have to give to all those happy couples. While buying gifts for your friends and family can be enjoyable, when you have multiple people to buy for, you want to be organised as early as possible.

If there is a registry, get in as early as you can before all the best gifts have been taken. If the happy couple has simply asked for donations, that’s an easy job. But, if you want to gift something out of the ordinary, and there is no wedding registry, silk may be your answer. It is an elegant and luxurious gift that will keep on giving. It has a range of natural benefits, making it a great gift for the right couple. Whether it’s silk bedding sheets, or his and hers silk pyjamas, why not take a look at what we have to offer on our website for inspiration?

Plan Accommodation Early

Most of the time, a wedding will involve a bit of travel. This can be a plus because if you plan your travelling around the weddings you’re attending, it’s a great reason to visit new places and spend some time away. But, whether you have one big wedding to attend or a handful, planning where you are going to stay early will give you peace of mind.

Planning early will not only help put you at ease, but it might also help you to save money. Try to stay with a friend who lives locally if you can. Not only with this save you hotel bills, but it’s also a great way to spend time with people you know and love. If the wedding venue has rooms, booking early is essential to secure a room, so that you don’t end up panic-searching for somewhere close by to stay and hoping it is convenient enough to get to and from.

Pamper Your Skin and Hair

When the big day comes around, you want to be looking and feeling your best. You can prepare yourself for this in advance by taking care of your skin and hair. Follow a skin routine on a morning and on a night time, and figure out what works for you.

If you have sensitive skin, or you’re looking to try something new, sleeping on a silk pillowcase throughout wedding season will do wonders for your skin and hair. It has moisturising properties which are gentle on your skin, helping you to wake up with a radiant glow. They can also help reduce frizz and breakages so that you wake with silky smooth hair.

Look After Your Wellbeing

In amongst the planning and organising, it will help you to look after your own wellbeing and set aside some time to take care of yourself. If you’re feeling good, you can be a better guest at all those weddings, and you’ll find them so much more enjoyable.

Looking after yourself may be as simple as making sure you get enough sleep, eating a little better, or incorporating more exercise into your routine. Whatever you can manage, every little bit helps.

Enjoy!

If you do tend to get stressed during wedding season, try to let go of those feelings and simply enjoy the time with your friends and family. If you organise all the little details in advance, it gives you the room to sit back and take it all in.
