What to do After the “I DO”!

At a recent Wedding Connection meeting, the topic of brides experiencing “post wedding depression” was discussed. The Wedding Connection members are a great group of wedding professionals and they shared a few suggestions on what brides (and grooms) can do to overcome the feelings of “no more wedding planning” and “what do I do now” that the wedding party is over.

 

From MJ Studios:

We suggest that newlyweds take time to scrapbook their wedding photos. The newlywedds could also decorate their home with wedding portraits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Megasound:

Couples could schedule time together to write their “thank you” notes. It would be a wonderful opportunity to share highlights from the wedding day and make the note writing go quicker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the Wedding Place:

Brides have the opportunity to take their bridal gown in for preservation. This gives brides a chance to share their thoughts about their wedding and keep their gown in good condition.
