 | Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime occasion, so you certainly don’t want something to go wrong on your wedding day! With the enough thorough planning and preparing, your wedding day should run smoothly and without any major issues. Whether you choose to hire a professional makeup artist and hair stylist or decide to do it on your own, you should plan on doing a test run for your hair, makeup, and nails before the actual wedding day. There are some smart tips and advice you should follow to help your wedding day run smoother. |
It’s not a good idea to get a haircut or to make a dramatic change to your hair before your wedding. If you are adamant on have a new look for your wedding day, you should start experimenting months before. If you’re thinking about getting highlights, your hair colored, or a drastic cut, then get the initial style a few months before and have maintenance done a week or two before your big day.
It’s a smart idea to schedule a test run a few weeks before the wedding day for hair, makeup and nails. This will help your stylist know what you want, and you will know exactly how you will look. Bring to the test run your tiara, headpiece, veil, jewelry and whatever other accessories you plan to wear on your big day. This way you will be able to see how your hair looks with all the accessories.
Put makeup on that is classic and timeless. If you’re having an evening wedding, you may want to 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. 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 with your dress. Remember, it’s your day to be a princess so make sure you look like one too!
