This is your day so you want to look your best! Following is a guide to help you keep you on track and looking your best while still planning your wedding, tips for the night before, and the day of!
1 Week or more ahead!
- Waxing/Threading/Plucking: Make sure you do this two days in advance to allow any redness or swelling to go away. If you have never waxed before, try it out a month or so in advance to ensure that you don't break out from waxing.
- Facials: If you get a facial or peel or any other tipe of skin treatment, give yourself at LEAST two weeks before your wedding. Often after a facial, our skin gets worse before it gets better. Give your skin time to heal!
- Hair color: Do any color at least a week in advance so that your new style has time to settle and any stains on your skin have time to fade away.
- Hair cuts: Now is not the time to try out that crazy new do you've been looking at in a magazine! Don't risk ending up with a style that you hate. If you do plan on getting a cut, make sure you do it before you schedule your hair trial. What works with your long, single length hair might not look the same when you add a bunch of layers!
- Henna/Mendhi: The color of your henna takes time to develop. Don't schedule your mehndi the morning of your big day! Glitter mendhi is applied over your mehndi that you have had done already and is applied day of. These are two separate things!
- Delegate: Your bridal party is here to help you out. Put them in charge of things and let everyone know what they need to handle day of the wedding. You shouldn't have to worry about anything on your wedding day, let your friends and family make sure all the details are being handled!
The Day Before
- Drink plenty of water and don't forget to eat! You want to be hydrated so that you feel good and your skin can glow!
- Confirm that you have your outfits, shoes, veil, and all jewelry together in a place where you AND someone else can get to it easily.
- Have someone confirm with all your vendors one last time.
- Try and relax. Today is a great day to schedule a massage for yourself to go along with your manicure and pedicure.
- Unless your hair is very oily, wash it tonight instead of in the morning.
- Go to sleep early! Have a cup of tea to help you relax at the end of the day and get your rest!
Day of
- Wear something comfortable. Your shirt should be a button up or have a wide neck so that your hair stays perfect when you put your dress on.
- Wash your face and moisturize as normal. If you wear contacts, put them on before I arrive to do your makeup and if you wash your hair, make sure it to dry it!
- Eat something! Today is not a day to skip breakfast. A nice light breakfast will keep you going through the day and will help keep your stomach settled if you get nervous! You also don't want an empty stomach if there are mimosa's in the morning or before a champagne toast later!
- Breathe. Today will go wonderfully and you will look amazing!
