Bridal Bouquet: Rescue Me


If you’re feeling more Bridezilla than Princess Di these days, never fear: Your homeopathic salvation is a drop away.


If you’re feeling more Bridezilla than Princess Di these days, never fear: Your homeopathic salvation is a drop away. Rescue Remedy, a soothing serum imported from England by Wilmington-based Nelson Bach, combines five plant and flower essences that ease away tension with a few drops under the tongue or in your usual bottle of water. That means that—despite mothers-in-law and whiny flower girls—you’ll feel as though you just left your yoga mat. “Quite a few brides have thanked Rescue Remedy for helping them cope with the build-up and stresses that go into planning a wedding,” says Curt Finckler, senior brand manager.

Or use the essences solo—Bach’s online Remedy Chooser pinpoints which of the 38 essences your body needs most. Overwhelmed? Try Elm. Exhausted? Oak revives your tired spirit. Post-altar, Finckler recommends Walnut for coping with the transition. —Jenna Bergen
