Offering valuable advice to help brides navigate this special time with confidence and ease, Lottie hopes each will help brides feel prepared for their big day. She says, “I established a morning routine which included taking apple cider vinegar and collagen. I was recommended Kollo by Anel Lamine from Skin by Anel and saw a huge difference. I also started taking probiotics to help cleanse my gut, which also helped my skin and energy levels.” Lottie continues, “I had 100g of protein a day which helped with my energy levels, and also to help build muscle mass alongside pilates. I also followed a goal of completing 10,000 steps a day which I found a really good way to reduce stress as I would use the walk as time for myself to either listen to a podcast, or wedding plan or reply to voice notes from friends.” Hydration is key. Lottie tells us, “I aimed to drink between two to three litres of water a day which helped with my energy levels and skin. Getting between seven and eight hours of sleep a night was key to ensure my body was sufficiently able to rest and recover to ensure best results, both mentally and physically.” From discovering the secrets of inner and outer radiance to cultivating confidence, each week of Bondi Rises’ Wedding Ready Series is designed to enhance brides’ physical strength, mental clarity, and emotional resilience. By finding calmness amidst the excitement of wedding preparations and cementing pilates practice with layers of confidence, Lottie believes that her programme in partnership with Rachel’s recipes, will help women everywhere feel fully prepared to walk down the aisle feeling empowered and ready to embrace the joy of their special day.
