She runs WeightShed and Highland Boot Camps to give clients an intensive week to re-evaluate where they are in life and where they want to be, then gives them the tools to get there. Eilidh’s work attracts clients from the UK and overseas and we are delighted to have her as a guest blogger. Today she is going to help you to clarify your thoughts when you can feel overwhelmed.

Pink Dress with Blue Spots

You’d be amazed how often brides find it easier to know what they don’t want. For instance they don’t want to be stressed, tired or anxious about their day. Knowing what you don’t want can be useful, it is more productive to spend a little time stating what you want for your wedding in the positive.

For example:

‘I don’t want a pink dress with blue spots’, is less useful than ‘I want special dress that flatters my figure and skin tone’. The listener understands you better and can connect with your ideas and dreams for your day in this way.

The same applies to when you have a member of your wedding party who is causing, perhaps, a little tension. You can easily get caught up in the “don’t want” argument. This usually leads to more frustration.

So here are some tips to know what you want and how to communicate your thoughts and ideas simply. You will be delightfully surprised by how easy it is to get others to listen, understand and accept your decisions about your special day.

Firstly, spend some time day dreaming about your wedding, see it in full Technicolor glory and hear all the fun and excitement in Dolby surround sound. The more you day dream in this way, the clearer you will become about what you want and can then stay true to your dream day.

Accept all opinions as useful, thank the giver for their advice and with a smile, be clear and say you have made your decision and are really happy with it and move the conversation on, or let them know you will think about it. Either way you placing less importance on their ideas and they will get the message.

Shift your focus back to what you want. Do you want to enjoy every moment, feel more in love than ever before, sparkle with happiness – yes, then focus on that and you will feel so amazing on the inside and glowing on the outside.

Have a blissful day.

Honeymoon like an A-list Celebrity!

Check these super-chic celeb getaways for inspiration.....

The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and her actor husband Josh Duhamel tied the knot in Malibu, before cruising around the Maldives. They then stayed at the 5-star One & Only Reethi Rah, where they are said to have enjoyed cooking classes, private yoga, tennis lessons, spa treatments, scuba diving and fishing. The UK TV presenter Holly Willoughby and her husband Dan Baldwin also chose the Maldives for their honeymoon.

The music superstars Beyonce and Jay-Z honeymooned at the super romantic Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa in Arizona a week after their secret ceremony in New York. Their busy schedules meant they could only spend two nights at the boutique retreat, but they are said to have made the most of it by chilling out in the luxurious Sanctuary Spa and swimming in the infinity pool overlooking Paradise Valley.

The Westlife singer Kian Egan married his actress fiancee Jodi Albert in Barbados last year, stayed there to honeymoon. They held their romantic ceremony on Turtle Beach, and then celebrated with family and friends at one of the most famous hotels on the island, Sandy Lane Resort. This luxury golf resort and spa is popular with many an A-lister, with Simon Cowell regularly holidaying there, as well as footballing sensation Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen.

Denise and her musical star husband Lee Mead married and honeymooned at the 5-star Labriz Silhouette Resort in 2009. Apparently the happy couple enjoyed romantic strolls along the beach, and treatments in the uber-luxurious Spa on the Rocks, and chilled out in their presidential villa.They are not the only celebrity couple to honeymoon in the Seychelles, with Liz Hurley and Arun Nayar Fregate Private Island

John and Jackie Kennedy, Julia Roberts and Danny Moder, Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. Wow, what a list! All of the above have honeymooned at the glamourous San Ysidro Ranch, an hour outside of Los Angeles. The 500 acre resort has 41 cottages and suites, all furnished with oriental rugs, original artwork and antiques. Additionally there is 17 miles of beautiful hiking trails, and lush gardens - where Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier exchanged vows.

Unique Weddings in Scotland

We don't necessarily mean crazy or ‘out-there’, but rather having something that is a little different from the norm, or something that is unique to you. Don’t get us wrong, we always look for inspiration that might appeal to another client. Just don’t fall into the trap of having a conveyor belt wedding. You want your guests to know whose wedding they are at through subtle touches of individuality, things that you personally like, not exactly the same as the wedding they were at before, or will be at next month. Don’t chose elements that you think you ‘should’ have, your fairytale is exactly that - yours!

Some food for though....

Have your wedding in: a vineyard, gallery, boat, up a mountain...

Have a best-woman, or bridesman!

Have a themed wedding: colour, character, celebrity, era...

Personalise gifts: give items engraved, such as a photoframe with a favourite picture in it, passport cover, a star named after them....

Why release sky lanterns or butterflies when you can release bio-degradable dove balloons?! www.dovebaloons.co.uk

Design your own dress or suit!

Favours? Sugar almonds are so standard, and ornaments often get left behind-what a waste of money! Why not hire a characturist to draw pictures of your guests to take home with them?

Ask relatives/close friends to write a personal reading - often so much more special.

While you and your new wife/hubby are away getting pics, give the guests a quiz about you both. Winner can be announced during speeches - the answers they have written can be hilarious to share!

Serve your own personalised renamed cocktail at the usual Champagne Reception section.

Ask guests to tell you their favourite songs when they RSVP. This can help ensure everyone is dancing after dinner! However, make sure you and your bride/groom actually like the songs, it is your day after all!
