40 Positive Wedding Affirmations For When You Need Inspiration

Everyone knows that wedding planning can be stressful but it’s hard to really comprehend how frustrating, exhausting, and maddening it truly is until you’re in it. When I was planning my wedding, I made it a goal to make wedding planning as stress free as possible with diligent planning, limiting decisions, setting clear boundaries with friends and family, focusing on communication, and sticking to a budget I could afford. Some of those items were easy. I have a background in account and project management for marketing projects so I had a lot of experience creating and executing a project, managing multiple stakeholders, problem solving and sticking to a budget. I also had an excellent support system in our families who were 100% helpful and didn’t add to our stress. Other things were difficult, like fitting flowers and decor into our budget, or finding a venue that fit our vision. But with the right mindset, I was able to prioritize the elements that were important to us (guest experience and fun!) and make easier decisions (I only toured two venues!)

If you’re in need of a little mindset work, try these forty wedding affirmations guaranteed to give you some much needed perspective, inspiration, or support during this joyful, but sometimes taxing, time. Print them out for your mirror. Or share some with a bride-to-be.

How To Use These Bridal Affirmations

An affirmation is a positive statement that you can repeat to yourself throughout your planning journey or at specific trying times to encourage positive thinking, self-empowerment, and to reinforce a desired behavior or dream outcome. Affirmations are used as a tool for personal development and mental wellness in every day life and using them for your wedding is great use case! They help to counteract negative thoughts and beliefs by focusing on positive, affirming messages.

Here are the steps to use your affirmations most effectively.

First, identify your goals or areas for improvement. Maybe your in-laws are really stressing you out with their opinions. Or you feel self-conscious about trying on wedding dresses at a bridal salon.

Second, create positive, present-tense statements to focus on (or choose from the above.)

Third, write them down somewhere you will see them every day. A mirror, vision board, or journal is a great place to start.

Fourth, repeat your chosen affirmations regularly. You can create a routine around saying your affirmations every morning to start your day off right, or right before bed if you find yourself plagued with the dreaded wedding stress dreams. (I used to have a nightmare where I forgot my shoes behind at my house five hours away!) You can also repeat them to yourself in front of a mirror for added impact.

Fifth, visualize your affirmations becoming true. As you repeat your affirmations, try to visualize what it looks and feels like when these statements are true. Visualization helps to embed these positive beliefs in your subconscious mind. As you’re visualizing, feel each positive emotion associated with the statements, such as joy, confidence, or peace.

Sixth, stay patient and keep at it. It takes time for affirmations to create lasting change. Be patient and persistent, even if you don’t see immediate results. Over time, these positive statements can help reshape your thought patterns and behavior around your wedding planning so the big day will be here without all the stress.
