Weddings are often painted in shades of champagne, blush, and gold but behind the dreamy Pinterest boards and couture fittings lies a not-so-glamorous truth: bridal burnout. The days leading up to the wedding can become an emotional marathon of guest lists, outfit changes, endless errands, and beauty prep. So, how do you keep your calm and glow intact when the stress starts to show up on your skin, hair, and spirit? We rounded up some of the best experts, products, and rituals to help brides reclaim their peace (and radiance) in the most indulgent ways possible.

Glow From Within With IV Drips – Dr. Prachi B. Bodkhe, Envi Aesthetics
“Wedding prep can be overwhelming and your skin deserves the same attention as your outfits,” shares Dr. Prachi B. Bodkhe, Dermatologist at Envi Aesthetics. Her go-to recommendation? IV glow drips. These beauty elixirs are packed with hydration boosters, micronutrients, and de-stressing agents that work from the inside out—making them ideal for post-spinster party recovery or skin-deep nourishment during hectic weeks. But don’t leave this for the last minute—“Begin at least 3 months prior,” she advises, “to truly transform your skin and energy levels.”
Zen & Skin with Dr. Madhurya Gogineni, Zennara Clinics
Medi-facials are an excellent way to get your skin ready before the big day. There are different types of treatments such as Hydrafacial, Fire and ice facial, Zein Obagi (ZO) facial, pumpkin facial. These are customized, medical-grade facials designed to address specific skin concerns using advanced techniques and professional-grade products. All of these treatments typically include steps like cleansing, exfoliation, and deep hydration with serum mask applications over the skin.
These facials can be started two to three months prior to the wedding and continued up until one week before the event. It’s important not to try anything new too close to the wedding to avoid any potential reactions. Proper skincare is essential to maintain the glow from the facials. Lastly, using SPF and the right skin products recommended by your dermatologist are crucial steps to follow.

Dr Ria Talwar, Counselling Psychologist and Eating Disorder Specialist at Samarpan Health, says
For months, your brain has been fuelled by adrenaline and dopamine- from the stress, the excitement, and the thrill of the countdown. So when the wedding ends, it’s entirely normal for that emotional high to dip into a strange sense of emptiness. Embrace the pause. A quiet morning- just the two of you- can be the perfect way to anchor into the reality of your new life together.
Pickleball Therapy at Squat Up
Yes, you read that right. Sometimes, the best stress relief doesn’t come in a serum—it comes on the court.

Expert Tips by Dr. Falguni Shah, Dermatologist & Founder, Radiance Skin Clinic
Unlike brides, grooms often start their skincare journey much closer to the big day, so efficiency is key. The most common concerns? Dullness, tanning, and tired-looking skin. Start by incorporating sunscreen daily and taking oral glutathione (600 mg twice daily) with vitamin C (1000 mg once daily) at least a month before the wedding to improve skin tone and radiance. For quick yet effective skin revival, Carbon peeling is photofacial (two sessions, two weeks apart) to help de-tan and rejuvenate. Daily hydration is a must, drink plenty of water and avoid excess alcohol, which can dehydrate the skin. Topical care matters too: use a vitamin C serum in the morning and a brightening night serum with azelaic acid, arbutin, or hyaluronic acid. For moisture without the grease, opt for a light gel-based moisturizer, perfect for men who dislike sticky creams. With just a few smart steps, grooms can look refreshed, radiant, and wedding-day ready.
The Bridal Burnout Toolkit
So here’s your cheat sheet to fighting bridal burnout:
- Book a deep-tissue massage at Meghavi Wellness Spa.
- Start your IV drip journey three months early with Envi Aesthetics.
- Don’t skimp on skincare rituals or supplements—think AquaGold, oxygen facials, and collagen elixirs.
- Pamper your hands and feet with Ministry of Pedicure’s lush kits.
- Get results-driven medifacials and hair spas.
- Balance it all with joy—on the court, with your girls, or during a quiet self-care Sunday.
Because your wedding glow shouldn’t come at the cost of your mental peace. And when you’re calm, confident, and radiant inside out….that’s the real bridal trend of 2025.
