Starting six months prior to your
wedding day, have a facial once a month
to ensure a radiant complexion..
2
Adopt a healthy eating and regular
exercise regime. Also, remember to drink
lots of water and herbal teas.
3
If you are spray tanning for your
wedding, trial the product or
professional service first to be certain
you are going to like the end result. A
bad spray tan can look tragic, whereas a
good one looks fabulous.
4
Do not neglect your hands and feet.
Frequent manicures and pedicures are a
must. Clean your engagement ring and any
other jewellery you will be wearing.
5
Check your wedding gown fits perfectly
prior to it leaving the store. Ensure
all beading is sewn on securely, zips
work and, if needs be, somewhere for you
to hang your train so you are free to
dance the night away. Another pearl of
wisdom is to also try on your gown with
the undergarments you intend to wear on
your wedding day to ensure they fit
perfectly under your dress.
6
If you are wearing a strapless gown,
take your bra off at least three hours
before the photographer’s arrival on
your wedding day. Bra strap marks stay
embedded in the skin for a long time and
look unsightly in photographs.
7
Delegate a trouble-shooter with good
people and organisational skills to
oversee and deal with any unexpected
hitches on the day (touch wood). You do
not need the added stress.
8
Confirm flowers, hair and make-up
artists at least a month before your big
day.
9
While getting ready do not forget to
eat. Pack straws and organise bite-size
portions of food to be available so
eating and drinking will not spoil your
make-up.
10
The beauty preparations before the
wedding ceremony and celebrations are a
very important part of your day. Enjoy
all the pampering and attention. Have
some Rescue Remedy (available from all
good health food shops) on hand in case
you need to calm nervous butterflies.
Make sure you have a compact and
lipstick for touch-ups.
