Hello and salutations, Brides and Grooms!
You've crossed every "t" and dotted every "i." The dress fits like a dream, the flowers are blooming, and the photographer (ahem, that's me!) is ready to capture every magical moment. But amidst the pre-wedding whirlwind, you might forget one crucial detail: what you eat the night before can impact how you feel and look on your big day.
So, let's talk about three foods to politely decline the night before your "I dos":
1. Salty Snacks: We love a good charcuterie board as much as the next person, but hold the cheese (and pretzels, and olives). Salty foods can lead to bloating, making you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable in your wedding attire. Opt for lighter, potassium-rich options like avocado or banana to combat water retention and keep you feeling fresh.
2. Spicy Dishes: While a fiery curry might sound tempting, it's best to save it for another night. Spicy food can trigger heartburn and indigestion, not exactly ideal for a day filled with emotional moments and maybe a few celebratory bubbles. Stick to milder, easily digestible meals to ensure a calm and comfortable wedding day.
3. Heavy Foods: A giant plate of pasta may sound like comfort food heaven, but it can leave you feeling sluggish and bogged down. Opt for a lighter, protein-rich meal like grilled chicken or salmon with roasted vegetables. This will provide sustained energy while keeping you feeling light on your feet as you dance the night away.
Now, let's swap those "no-no's" for some pre-wedding "YUMs":
1. Salmon with Roasted Veggies: This dish is packed with lean protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins, keeping you energized and glowing. Plus, the colorful veggies add a touch of vibrancy to your plate.
2. Lentil Soup: Don't underestimate the power of this humble dish! Lentils are a fantastic source of protein and fiber, keeping you feeling full and satisfied without the heaviness. Plus, it's easily customizable with your favorite spices and vegetables.
3. Chicken and Quinoa Bowl: This protein-packed bowl combines lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats for a balanced and satisfying meal. Top it with your favorite veggies and a light dressing for an explosion of flavor and nutrients.
Remember, food is an experience, and your pre-wedding meal should be one that sets the tone for the day. Choose something light, delicious, and nourishing that makes you feel your absolute best. After all, you deserve to radiate confidence and joy on your wedding day!
