| Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime event, so the last thing you want on your wedding day is for something to go wrong! But with the right planning and preparations, your wedding day should run smoothly and without any major tragedies. Whether you choose to hire a makeup and hair stylist for your day or decide to do it on your own, you should plan on a wedding day test run for your hair, makeup, and nails. Follow some smart tips and advice to help your wedding day run smoother.
It’s not a good idea to get a haircut or dramatically change your hair before your wedding. If you want a new look, you should plan to experiment months before your wedding day. |
Schedule a test run a few weeks before the wedding day for hair, makeup and nails. This will ensure your stylist knows what you want, and you will know exactly how you will look. Bring your tiara, headpiece, or veil with you to the test run, so you will see how your hair looks with all the accessories.
Wear makeup that is classic and timeless. If you’re having an evening wedding, you may want to focus on and bring out one particular feature such as your eyes or lips, but not both. Years after your wedding you will want to look at your pictures and say how beautiful you looked, not how awful the trend was for overdone makeup.
Your nails should also be traditional and classical; go with subtle pinks, ivory, or peach. A French manicure is also a good idea. But if you are having a color themed wedding and you really want that color to match your nails, then go for it - but realize they may stand out from your gown. If you are planning a specific color for nails, get them done before a wedding dress fitting, so you will be able to see how your nails will look next to your dress. Remember, it’s your day to be a princess so make sure you look like one too!
