Looking great on your wedding day includes being radiant, relaxed, and ready to start a new existence with the person you’ve chosen to spend your life with. Your hair, nails, makeup, dress (and how you look in that dress) are all part of becoming the bride you want to be on your special day. Since pictures and videos from that day will be part of your life forever, it’s very important to look and feel your best!
Your dress is one of the most important items in your wedding, so make sure you take enough time to choose one that suits you. For the day of your wedding, you’ll want a dress that you can stand in, walk and dance in, and not worry about any wardrobe malfunctions.
Keep it simple and classic, and remember to practice the look you want at home or with your stylist before the wedding day. Have your nails professionally manicured the day before the wedding. This is one thing you don’t want to do too early in advance. You should attempt to reduce the chances of a broken nail, chipped polish, or even an applied nail coming off. So get your manicure as late as possible. If you are not inclined toward colored polishes or long fingernails, make sure they are neatly trimmed, filed, polished, and buffed. Your hands will be a focus of attention when showing off that new wedding ring.
Makeup is the last thing you should worry about. Don’t try to transform yourself into a different person with dramatic eye makeup or gaudy lipstick. But do use a slightly heavier hand than with your usual daytime makeup so your photos won’t show you appearing washed out.
The night before your wedding is not the time for partying so get enough hours of restful sleep. If you’re having a rehearsal dinner, or a bachelorette bash, make sure that it ends early. Drink moderately or, better yet, not at all. Bloodshot eyes and a hangover will not make for a fun wedding. With these tips, you’re sure to have the perfect wedding day. Just don’t oversleep and miss it!
