As a bride, the period leading up to your wedding can be one of the most stressful (yet exciting) parts of your life. It can seem like there are a million different things to think about and plan for, but you have to remember that your health and wellness are just as important. That’s why self-care is essential for brides who are suffering from stress and anxiety. In this post, we’ve come up with some things that you can do to transform your bathroom into an at-home spa. We suggests you add something that is relaxing, such as water or plants, taking your self-care to the next level. 

We’ve also included spa day printable that you can complete alone for some me-time, or as fun activities for your bridal party!

Light Candles

No spa is complete without candles. Your bathroom isn’t either. The right scent can make a difference in your relaxation and overall mood. For a relaxing smell that isn’t overpowering, consider placing lavender candles around your bathroom. Use as many as you’d like, but make sure that you aren’t overloading your senses.

We’ve included four punny labels in a printable that you can print out and put on your candles, reminding yourself and any visitors to have a laugh and take the edge off. [Printable]

Install a Glass Shower

A glass shower does a number of things for your bathroom. Firstly, it can make your shower and bathroom look more modern and fancy. It’s a simple upgrade if you’re looking to update the look of your bathroom.

Second, a glass shower will help open up your bathroom. This will make the space appear larger and less constrained.

Hang Bathroom Wall Art

Just like any other room, no bathroom is complete without art on the walls. You’ll find that your bathroom has a much more personal, inviting feeling with your hand-picked art adorning the walls. 

Remember to pick the right art for the mood you’re trying to create in your bathroom. Avoid anything that may be too distracting or doesn’t mesh with the other aspects of your bathroom. You want something that is relaxing, such as water or plants.

To help with this selection process, here are some spa wall art printable that you can frame and place around your bathroom. With calming quotes, they’ll remind you to take deep breaths and focus on your wellbeing. [Printable]

Make Yourself a Facemask

Face masks are an essential part of any spa day. Just because you’re not going out to the spa doesn’t mean you can’t make yourself a high-quality face mask. With an endless amount of potential masks and ingredients, you’ll never run out of ways to improve your skin and your mood.

To give you some ideas to start with, we’ve included a face mask printable that has four different face mask recipes on it. Each has a different purpose, such as exfoliating, brightening, moisturizing, and pore unclogging.

Don’t let the amount of stress you feel as a bride overwhelm you, and don’t let it stop you from giving yourself the attention and care that you deserve.

You want to be as prepared for your wedding as possible, and that means caring for your mental health as well. With these tips, you can create a relaxing space to retreat to whenever you need a moment of zen.
