How to cure the post wedding blues 

You spend months, sometimes years, planning your wedding. From finding the dress and choosing your dream venue, to tasting cakes and curating the perfect playlist, every detail is filled with anticipation. 

Then, in a blink, the big day arrives, unfolds in the most beautiful blur, and it's over, leaving some newly married couples feeling a bit of post-wedding depression. And after so much build up and excitement, it's natural to feel sad once the celebrations come to and end. But this isn't the end of your love story; it's just the beginning of a new chapter as newlyweds. And there are ways to gently shift your focus and keep the joy of your wedding alive in everyday life. 

Here's a few thoughtful ways to ease the transition, and one truly meaningful way to reconnect with the magic of your day.

How to keep the magic alive post wedding 

1. Reconnect with you 

Wedding planning can take over and that's not a bad thing! It's exciting, creative, and filled with love. But when it's over, it's important to return to the things that bring you joy outside of planning spreadsheets and Pinterest boards. Maybe it's weekend walks, art classes, morning coffee dates with friends, or even just having your evenings back to binge watch your favourite series with your new husband, wife or partner.

2. Celebrate small, new milestones 

Your wedding was just the first of many milestones in your life together. Planning something new, however small, can lift your spirits and give you something to look forward to. This could be a weekend getaway, redecorating a room in your home, starting a new hobby together, or even creating a shared bucket list of adventures you want to go on to help combat the post-wedding blues. 

Life after the wedding doesn't have to feel like a comedown, it can be the beginning of a whole new wave of excitement and connection. 

3. Write it all down

In the rush of your wedding day, it's easy for moments to blur together. One of the most powerful ways to preserve how it all felt is to write it down. Spend an evening reflecting on your favourite parts of the day, the look in your partner's eyes during the vows, the way your grandma beamed on the dance floor, the quiet moment you shared before stepping into reception. 

You could write a letter to your future self, start a journal about married life, or create a scrapbook with little keepsakes from the day. These small actions help you process the emotions of such a huge life event, and make the memories feel even more vivid. 

4. Relive the day through print 

There's something so powerful about seeing your wedding photos for the first time, but don't let those beautiful images stay hidden in a gallery link or lost in your phone's camera roll. Your wedding deserves more than a passing scroll. 

A handcrafted Luxe Album isn't just a photo book, it's a way to relive the joy of getting married. It's a timeless keepsake, a piece of your love story you can hold in your hands, share with loved ones, and pass down for generations. It allows you to relive every emotion, every laugh, and every quiet glance that made your day so special. 

The process of designing your wedding album can be an emotional and meaningful experience in itself. You'll choose the images that matter most, the ones that make you smile, laugh, cry and piece them together to tell the story of your day. 

Every page brings the moments back to life in a way that digital never quite can. And when the blues creep in, your album is there waiting, a reminder that the magic wasn't just one day. It's still unfolding, in a thousand little ways. 

One beautiful chapter ends. A new one begins. 

Feeling a little lost after the wedding is perfectly normal. It just means your day was everything you dreamed it would be. But your love story doesn't end when the last dance fades. It continues in morning cups of coffee, in shared glances, and in the memories you choose to honour and preserve.
