Beat Your Post-Wedding Blues

Have some R&R

Jetting off to your dream destination the day after your wedding sounds amazing. However, a much more practical plan is to schedule your departure for a couple of days later – giving you the chance to rest and relax. After many months of planning and focussing energy into one day, giving yourself a few days of downtime will allow you to rest and take in all of those wonderful wedding day memories. It is also becoming quite common for couples to delay their honeymoon for a few months. Opting for a ‘minimoon’ but planning a bigger honeymoon later down the line could be appealing to some. Enjoy a short hotel break to catch your breath after the wedding, but give yourselves something else to look forward to – almost like an extension of your wedding celebration. Organising your honeymoon post-wedding day even allows you to re-channel your planning skills from the wedding to the honeymoon.

Share your real wedding story

You probably read a load of real wedding stories when you were planning your own big day, so why not share your own? You will probably be asked to complete a questionnaire and speak to your wedding photographer in regards to images, but you never know how many future brides your own real wedding story will help and inspire. Contact your wedding venue to find out how you can feature as a real wedding story.

Plan ahead

All of a sudden, the one special day you have been anticipating for so long is over, and you feel that you no longer have anything to look forward to. This feeling can of course be avoided, by planning holidays or events after your wedding. Do you have a big family birthday approaching or perhaps you’ve always dreamed of going on a travel adventure? Now is the time to start planning.

Move house

For some couples, the next step following the wedding day can often be moving into a new home. If the two of you are not currently living in your dream house, then looking to move post wedding can become a new (and huge) project for you both. As this is often a lengthy and time-consuming process, it can become a good distraction and a new goal to focus on. If you plan to have children in the future, consider this when looking for a house. You may not want to find yourselves moving to something bigger 2 years down the line. A home to do-up or renovate could be an exciting focus for both of you.

Family planning

You may have discussed starting a family in the past and there’s not better time, once you are married, to kick-start those plans. Some couples find it easier than others to start a family, but whatever your decision, take your time and don’t stress.

Don’t forget that your wedding day isn’t the end, it’s actually just the beginning of the rest of your lives together. Remember that marriage isn’t about anything but the life the two of you will build together and the love you share for each other.
