Proper wedding blues : ( Help!

Ah, I feel for you!

I've just started the planning for my wedding (18 months to go!) and I love it so much I can't imagine what it will be like when I don't have a legitimate reason to spend my evenings and weekends pouring over magazines and websites!

The good thing is you recognise that it's a lull between the wedding and the honeymoon and as you say once Friday night arrived...! You'll be away now as I write this so I hope you are having an amazing time on your honeymoon!

There are loads of articles out there about coping with post wedding blues and they include things like booking a weekend away in a few months, to have something to aim towards and get excited about, so if you start to feel despondent again when you're back, hopefully they will help!

Just had a look at your pics - beautiful! Your dress was gorgeous and what a lovely theme for your day!

Hey, hope you're feeling a bit better now, and had a fabulous honeymoon!!!

You're description is just exactly what I am dreading. For this reason I booked the honeymoon for the Monday after the wedding (saturday) so I won't get a chance to come down, but then I got to thinking, I will now have to make plans to travel the very day after our wedding about 600 or so miles to the airport we fly from, on a Sunday when we live in the back of beyond (the north coast of scotland like literally at the coast with hardly anything running on a sunday!) silly girl, but no my fiance agrees we've done the right thing and we will sort something out. I feel we wont now get to enjoy the day after wtih our families, and by the time we get back off our honeymoon we will be the only ones still excited to talk abotu the wedding, it will be over and done with for most!!!

Tell me it will all be ok!!!!??? LOL

Hello! I would definitely advise to go away as soon after the wedding as you can. I'm sure that's why honeymoons were invented!!

Originally I thought it would be fine going back to work (we had no choice, was because of my husband's job) but it really broke the momentum and we never really got it back!

Plus we weren't able to do a proper honeymoon cos we had our 2 year old in tow so went to Normandy and didn't see much sunshine. So I'd say save your pennies, fly further afield, go right after the wedding and you'll be happy!!!

Didn't help that 2 days after we got back from honeymoon I had one of my best friend's hen do, then her wedding on Saturday just gone. So it was straight into another wedding and didn't have time to sit and chat with the girlies about MINE! I sound like Bridezilla don't I, but it was such a special and wonderful day I just wanted to hold onto it forever : )

Best of luck. The main thing is your big day and that will be FANTASTIC!!!!! : )

P.s. By the way I don't think you need to go the next day or anything, just don't end up being sat back in work 4 days after the wedding like I was!

Aww thanks chic, I'm sure mine will all be fine then, Turkey 2 days after the wedding, but I am so sorry it didn't go as well as you'd hoped. It wasn't ideal that your friend got married so soon after you but it couldn't be helped and its understandable that you feel that way!

Beautiful feel better now?just forget it,have a great honeymoon..

I got married Saturday 20th August and we dont go on our honemoon to Mexico until Thursday 1st September (which i am looking forward to). I have felt so down since the wedding like ive lost something precious to me its almost like grief and i just cant shake it off. I find that when im with my husband i feel better but when he is at work (like he is now) i feel down. My friend is about to start planning her wedding and i dont feel ready to talk about it with her and join in but i need to be there for her as she was for me, she was my chief bridesmaid and i will be her maid of honour so will be very much a part of it. The only way i can describe it is that its like ive lot a child and she is talking about the child she is having! Im worried i sound like a selfish spoilt cow but im not and dont mean to but i cant help my feelings, im hoping and praying that our honeymoon will help me but worried when i get back i will feel the same as i do now. Advice to anyone getting married......book it for a couple of days (at the most) after your wedding so ur still on the high from your wedding when u go away and u dont have time to feel down.

Let your wedding day be something to look forward to but steer clear of a fixated countdown. Instead, practise being in the present and get the most out of all that is happening around you so when your day comes.My suggestion is it's all yours,just enjoy it.

Think Im starting to suffer from these myself! I loved my day, my dress etc and its really sad that its all over.

Im for a wedding next week & know Im going to find it strange & I'll be comparing everything (as Im sure she was at mine!)!

I just had the perfect day (for me) and cant imagine having 'THE' feeling again.

Need a wkend away booked me thinks.....

I am so sorry to hear that.

Good luck to you.

By the way, your wedding pics so lovely.

It sound so comfortable ,,hehe ,,it is a best song for me ....

I was browsing around on this subject and I bumped into your post. Don’t worry too much about it happens quite a bit to my newlyweds! After to do lists ridded with meetings and shopping, ceremony, party, and (sometimes exhausting) travels people are simply tired and need some rest. It’s a good idea to plan a post-wedding break & relax time just to get into the best form to start a new life.

Wedding Dress Found the dress. Only problem is it is a sample dress that is a size 10. I am a size 12-14. Should I get the dress and then get it altered or just skip it all together? What about www.eastbridal.com?
