Try using essential oils. Softening scents can help sooth your soul and allow you to relax.

Try lighting a Lavender scented candle for similar benefits. Check out 30 Ways to Use Lavender Essential Oil for more awesome ideas.

Opt to be cell phone free on your big day and designate a bridesmaid to answer any calls or texts that come in. The last thing you need to worry about is Uncle John getting lost.
