Every bride needs her stash - of good things to look forward to, scary things to be cautious about and every well-wisher giving her bridal and marriage tips. But the funny bit is, all advice is personal, especially when it comes from close friends and loved ones - laced with their experiences and while it's useful, it isn't objective. So we decided to give brides a small and tiny but fun list of books you need to get your bridal game face on. Not just your usual bridal advice but even stuff that can help navigate newly-wed waters. Take it from us, these three useful books rate higher than anything else we have ever seen on the internet.
For The Modern Woman In You: The Modern Bride Survival Guide
The Modern Bride Survival Guide is known to be one of the most useful, most instructive books ever. It was written by Antonia van der Meer, the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine Modern Brides. From planning the wedding of your dreams to surviving the day and after - this one is good fun. Though it's built on the idea of American brides, it's interesting to know that planning is after all - planning and it requires meticulous detailing and oodles of inspiration. This one is mostly for the crazy bride who makes to-do lists - so you have budgeting sheets, d-day countdown planner, checklists and more.
Buy it: If you want a blue-print of how weddings should be done within a budget. And if you like to-do lists and actionable ideas.
For The Bridal Body: The Bridal Diet: Get Fit Not Fat This Festive Season
You know Indian weddings - too much to eat, too much pressure at the same time. If you're one of those girls whose folks ply you with food and crib how much weight you put on? Yes, this book is for you. If you're in a hurry, even better! If you are looking to shed the kilos fast, then gym time and crash diets can be harmful. Nishi Grover's Bridal Diet book simplifies your life and makes sure you get healthy and fit but without starving or depression. Delhi's top dietician and bestselling author of Lose a Kilo a Week outlines a diet programme aimed at brides-to-be so that the days leading up to their wedding can be stress-free. And even if you aren’t getting hitched, you can still use this book to get in shape and get fit - bridesmaids????
Buy it: If you want an exclusive diet plan, workouts, recipes, strategies to avoid temptation, motivators and easy ideas to lose weight.
For The Bride's Soul: Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married
In America, divorce rates hang at 50%. Not in India though, but we are pretty close too. So that's why a good book that talks about the importance of marriage and living with a partner can be a refreshing change and in fact, good for the bride's soul. Best-selling author Gary Chapman, after counselling more than 40 couples actually realised that it's lack of preparation that got them down not their differences per say. So he went about and wrote a fun but insightful book called Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married that really makes this journey called marriage fun if handled well. Plus, would you look at the reviews this one had?
