With wedding season in full swing, we thought it would be beneficial to discuss a few of the valuable bridal tips that we have come across lately…
Tip 1: If you color you hair, have it touched up a week before the big day. This is when it is in the best condition. It still looks fresh and shiny but it also has a small amount of growth at the roots to add depth.
Tip 2: Do not shampoo your hair the day of your wedding. This tip has been debated back and forth but if you ask, most hair stylist will confirm, your hair is easier to work with and the texture holds better if it has some of your natural oils. To be sure you have the right amount of oil without that “greasy” look going on, shampoo the night before your wedding.
Tip 3: Prep your skin a few days before by doing a clean detox. Also remember to hydrate yourself by drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily. The detox will remove any puffiness and proper hydration will add a healthy glow to your skin.
Tip 4: Make sure your makeup will last by adding primer. An oil free primer will hold makeup longer keeping both your foundation and eye shadow in place. A touch up might be needed for pictures but it should last throughout the reception and into the night.
Tip 5: Be sure you are comfortable in your dress and shoes. Your wedding day is meant for you to shine and if you are self conscience or uncomfortable in what you are wearing, it will show on your face. Try a variety of dress styles to figure out what fit and what material you feel best in. If you plan on wearing high heeled shoes, try going with a platform for added comfort. It creates less of a slope in your foot stance so that the pressure is spread out more evenly. Also, have a pair of cute flats to change into once you hit the dance floor.
Tip 6: Be Yourself! Avoid succumbing to the typical image of a bride in her white puffy dress with a white pearled necklace, hair tied up in a bun or French twist. Don’t be afraid to add your own unique style to what you wear. If you are the rocker type, accent with some edgy, bold jewelry or sexy platform shoes in a bright color or pattern. If you are the earthy, free spirit type, wear a simple dress and maybe put a flower or two in your wavy hair.
