You’ve been planning your big day for months, you’ve organised the catering, the drinks, the wedding lanterns, the music not to mention co ordinated the entire bridal party. But now the big day has come and gone and with the excitement of your wedding day now behind you, there may be a slight feeling of loss, loneliness or even depression. This is a fairly common feeling to have after your wedding, so don’t feel like you’re alone.

According to an article on post wedding depression, “Post wedding blues, also known as bridal depression or post wedding depression, is common among women who may commonly romanticise the institution of marriage.   In post wedding depression, following the wedding day, many brides fall into a deep depression when faced with the reality that ”the” day has come and gone and now settling into married life, as the role of a wife, is a lifelong committement.”

If you think you may be suffering from post wedding depression, be sure to speak to a professional about your feelings. It’s best to try not speak to your bridesmaids or mother about it, even though they were supportive through the wedding planning process as they will probably be sharing some of the same feelings as you about the situation and therefore will not be able to offer the most objective, helpful advice.
