Wedding Day Tips!

April 13, 2010

Everyone wants tips for their wedding day, don’t they?  Quite often I have brides who ask me questions on wedding day beauty!  So, I thought I would share a few quick tips here!

1.   Pamper yourself with professional hair and makeup!  One thing that ALL brides love is to be beautiful on their wedding day.  No matter how low-maintenance you may be, you should consider hiring professional hair and makeup artists to help you look your best on the big day.  Experienced hair and makeup people know just how to emphasize your very best features so your ready for your close up picture time.

2.  Don’t do any extra tanning.  Not only is it bad for you, but getting too dark of a tan  can look unnatural in your wedding portraits.  Spray tans and self tanning lotion can also go horribly wrong!  Nothing is worse than those orange streaks for your perfect day!

3.  Don’t get your hair cut or colored, get a facial, or eyebrow wax less than 2 days before the wedding.  Make sure you get them done at least one to two weeks before the wedding, so that if there are any “oopsies” you have time to get them fixed!

4.  Make sure you are getting plenty to eat and drink the week of your wedding.  Don’t try to starve yourself to loose those few extra pounds.  Make sure you drink plenty of water, so you don’t get dehydrated!  It will help your skin look beautiful, and keep you from passing out on your wedding day!

5.  Make an emergency kit for the wedding day.  Items to include: make up, scissors, a laundry pen, deodorant, Band-Aids, tissues, nail clippers and file, sanitary supplies, sewing kit, tooth brush and tooth paste, wipes, bobby pins, hair spray, extra stockings, straws (for drinking without messing up lipstick) safety pins and anything else you can think of!
