Now that you both have moved into your own space, it’s time to clear out the clutter and make way for a brand new season of growth, while keeping the warmth and love alive. Your first home together, whether it be an apartment, condo, or house…should support your marriage energetically.
A Balanced Bedroom for Two…Feng Shui for Love
Lets start with your master bedroom, which is the most important room in the house designed to keep the energies aligned rightfully for your relationship.You do spend every night together in the same bed…so it’s no wonder the bedroom carries the most energy towards your love life.
The bed itself plays an important role…so think of how you want it to look and what you wish for it to portray. First & foremost, invest in new bedding when moving into your first home together with your significant other. This includes a whole new bed, comforter, sheets, pillows, etc. The energies of other people who’ve slept in your old bed still lingers there…can we say “relationship residue”?!? …and from a feng shui point of view, you wouldn’t want any ghosts haunting you both in your sleep, now would you?
The back of the bed should be set up against a solid wall, not a window, to face the door. Circular or oval styled mattresses are best for promoting romantic chi. If you choose not to purchase a mattress with this soft-edged shape, you can do the same for pillow and chairs instead. Stick to color tones of brown, pink, & peach for a touch of softness. For a little extra spice, add some fiery reds into the mix if you wish.
What goes onon top of the bed is privately & intimately your business…but what about under the bed? If you’d like a happier, healthier love life, get down on the floor & take a look underneath. Clearing this space out beneath your bed will be just the ticket you need to maintaining and/or improving romance. Relocate any items you use regularly, then discard or donate the rest. By keeping the space beneath your bed totally clear, you’ll resolve any deceptions, hidden resentments and childhood traumas that have affected your romantic relationships.
Now, what about next to the bed? This is where you will most likely find nightstands and tables with lamps placed on top. If you do have these types of pieces, make sure they are equality placed on both sides of the bed by using the same furniture and decorated accents on its’ surface. Equality equals balance! And the more soft the lighting, the sexier your space will be.
KEEP OUT!
The only photos that should make their appearance into the bedroom are snapshots of you & your spouse, only! Like the “Keep Out” sign swinging on the door-knob, apply the same rule for family/friend photos to “keep out” the negative energy & experiences of others from affecting your relationship and/or marriage. This is about the two of you…and your relationship together…nobody else included. Unwelcomed, uninvited, third-wheel and butt-ing in your relationship business? Keep those energies away, please!

Gown issues: Make sure it comes in on time by not procrastinating in the first place. Your gown should be the first thing handled during your bridal journey. What if it doesn’t fit you? – Make sure your not fluctuating weight by staying on a balanced diet/exercise regimen.
Fires and Flies: Beware of candles…and stay away from those “bar flies” – those intoxicated guests who keep enthusiastically hitting the bar and then making their way over to hug you with their glass in hand- to avoid alcohol spills on your precious gown!
Wah Wah Wahhh…Babies crying: People bringing their children to the ceremony, when you sent out invitations instructing guests’ “NO CHILDREN ALLOWED!!! Can we say…annoying?!? Make sure everybody understands your sincerity with this wish by clearly stating in conversation your “rule” with those you know who have children before the big day arrives.
Extra guests…with no seating. There may be some stragglers and wedding crashers, so make sure there are extra chairs at the venue just incase these unruly scavengers come and crash!
Rainstorm. Of course the weather being bad could be quite devastating, especially if you have an out-door ceremony…but have arrangements made so that the ceremony could easily be brought in-doors. If you have the reception outdoors, just have an area or patio covered by a tent…and hope that everybody could fit into this spot! And if the weather really gets out of hand? Please avoid mud by all costs! (My bridal beg to you!)
Out-of-line Speeches: The maid of honor and best man may just have had a little too much to drink…and now they confidently take the mic., and deliver a very inappropriate…and embarrassing speech. All you can do in this case is make sure they know beforehand that you will not tolerate nothing but a classy and respectful speech, and that they will suffer the consequences if they fail to deliver this promise. Deal? Deal! Make this agreement. And promise one another that they will limit their drinking till after they give their speeches.
Worst Wedding Disaster?…
Being stood up at the alter cannot be argued to being anything else but the worst nightmare imaginable to any bride…and groom! Cold feet, no groom, and a run-a-way bride? Sounds like nothing else can top that!

If the weather is literally raining on your parade!…don’t fret just yet. If you know it’s raining, pull your hair back into a ballerina bun and secure with bobby pins or clips before heading out into the rain. Once you’re inside, shake out your hair and lightly hairspray it. If the clouds just open up and pour on your perfectly blow-dried hair randomly, take a drop of smoothing serum and gently run it over your hair before using a large curling iron to smooth out the kinks. Humidity makes curly go frizzy. To avoid, apply a small drop of shine serum to small hair sections, twist up the locks, then let them drop. Don’t use too much hairspray either, to avoid “helmet head.” If you’re a “hair-spray happy” girl and this does happen to you, use oil-blotting papers to tone down the shine and gently place hair where needed and use a mix of a shine serum with a paste.
Manicure Mishaps
Be sure to have the nail polish on hand that is the same shade of your manicure stored in your beauty bag for the day. Stock a liquid nail adhesive and glue the nail back on (if you have tips). Dot the polish over the nail, let dry, and file the edges smooth. To prevent paint-chipped nails and nail breaking, have your bridal party help you put on jewelry clasps.
Makeup Mess…on your Gown
Blotting & Seltzer!!! First, try blotting, then place napkin on the inside of the dress and a seltzer spilled napkin on the outside, and gently dab out the stain. Treat with a stain-removing pen (like those easy-carrying Tide pens) or try some hot water with plain soap. If you really got yourself into a mess and can’t possibly get the stain out, ask your photographer to photoshop the stains out of your wedding photos.
Stylist Canceled
If you have a freelance artist coming to you, make sure you both have a contract that states… “In case of an emergency, you will be provided with another artist at the same price.” IF you don’t have an agreement like this and you must find your own stylist at the last minute, make sure you have one that you spoke to prior and explained that they will be on-call, if needed. What if you’re look for the day doesn’t resemble your original artist’s work? Avoid this by ensuring beforehand that your original artist has concisely written down everything necessary for achieving your desired look, including color choices and placement. They should always keep information on file at the salon so that if there is a problem, the replacement artist will have solid directions to work with.
