As any now-wife can tell you, no matter how sure you are about marrying the love of your life, the walk between the getting-ready room and the aisle feels never-ending. It’s when nerves and excitement are at their greatest, and, until you look into your bride’s awaiting eyes at the altar, your stomach is doing somersaults.
Our suggestion? Tuck a de-stressing scent into your bridal bouquet for an instant air of calm. One deep inhale and you’ll be brought back down and ready to say “I do.” Here are three of our favorites:
MINT
Medicinally used for nausea for century, a few sprigs of fresh mint in your bouquet will help ease the knots in your stomach.
LAVENDER
The heavenly floral evokes a pleasant and calming scent, making it helpful in treating nerves, headaches, anxiety and emotional stress.
CHAMOMILE
There’s a reason why chamomile tea is often prescribed for anxiety relief. The apple-y scent instantly relaxes both the body and the mind and the daisy-like bloom is flirty and fun.
