I would recommend cutting down on salt and carbonated drinks too. I would also recommend lying on your back with your legs resting up the wall for at least 20 minutes every day. Ideally your body and legs should form a 90 degree angle, but just go for the angle which is comfortable for you. You can do this lying on the bed, if this is more comfortable. It encourages the fluid to move from your legs.
I would agree with dec about body brushing every morning towards the heart. Do this before your morning shower, and then massage in body lotion after your shower, again working towards the heart.
Just a thought about the dress, can you have a look at the seams, is there anyway the dress could be let out a little? I have a really good dry cleaners locally who do all sorts of repairs on the premises. They have a changing room and you just try your clothes and they advise you. As you have a week to go, if the dress could be let out an inch or so, it could really make a difference to how you feel. (Please don't be offended by this suggestion, I am just trying to put all options to you).
Regarding your feet, try not to sit too long at the reception, but walk around. Can you do some ankle rotations under the table to encourage your circulation? The Body Shop and Clarins make little cooling foot and leg sprays which help to cool and freshen. Most venues are air conditioned these days, so you may find that your feet stay cooler anyway.
Have a great day, Take care Foxie x.
