How can I debloat my stomach before my wedding?

Start a few days before the wedding, not the morning of it. Drink water steadily through the day, as staying hydrated helps your body let go of excess fluid. Swap salty snacks, ready meals and takeaways for plain home-cooked food with vegetables, lean protein and whole grains. Avoid chewing gum, straws and carbonated drinks, as they make you swallow air. Eat slowly and stop before you feel stuffed.

Gentle movement can help. A short walk after meals or some light yoga can encourage digestion without adding stress. If you usually have caffeine, keep it moderate, as too much can irritate your stomach. On the morning itself, wear comfortable clothes and don't squeeze into anything tight before the ceremony.

If bloating is a regular problem, speak to your GP before making big changes. Never use laxatives or diuretics to drop weight quickly, they are unsafe and can leave you feeling faint. The goal is comfort, not perfection. Your outfit will fit better if you are relaxed and well rested, so prioritise sleep and calm breathing over any quick fix.
