Wedding Day Tips

• Great skin is achieved through daily use of a good skin care program.
  Apply a moisturizer and exfoliate twice weekly. Try St. Eves Apricot
  Scrub from London Drugs. Be sure to drink plenty of water to hydrate.

• One of the first steps in creating beautiful eyes is brow shaping. Try tweezing or threading at least 1 week prior.

• You may not wear much makeup daily. For your wedding photos, consider wearing more than usual. During a consultation, try a bit of drama through false lashes, shimmer, & eye liner liner.

• Consider carrying a small purse for lipstick or a gloss, powder for touch-ups, mints, tissue, extra hair pins and travel size wipes for any stains.

• Experiment with lip colors well before the big day. Consider the feel, taste and how it may transfer. Lip stains will stay in place for hours.

• I encourage all brides to have a practice run with photos - ask a friend to take digital images of you. After viewing the results, you will be able to determine your best side, expressions and poses. I guarantee you will feel more comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day!

• Feel confident with your choices. Don't be swayed by comments from well wishers who feel compelled to offer negative remarks.

• Encourage Mom's and attendants to have a professional makeup application and hairstyling. You have invested time and effort to ensure this day as well as your photos will be perfect.

• How do you choose a makeup artist and hairstylist? Look for  years of experience, a well stocked makeup and hair kit as well as a portfolio. A professional makeup artist will know how to enhance your best features, prevent shine, apply long wearing products to ensure you look fabulous for hours, and possess the ability to make you look your ultimate best. This is a great investment in fabulous wedding photos.

• What is the definition of a mature bride? Someone over 35, 45, 55? If you are a bride planning your wedding, and fall into this category, check out my on-line story on Favor Ideas.

• Attendants need to know that this day is of the utmost importance to the bride, be it her sister, or dear friend. If the bride requests that you wear a dress that is not your favorite color, or apply some makeup, be thoughtful, kind, and understanding - say yes, with a smile. Upsetting your friend or sister will not be worth it!

• If you are a Bride planning your wedding, delegate some of the work. Try not to go to the church or hall at 5 am the day of your nuptials! Think of hiring a wedding planner On your big day you want to be fresh and well rested - not exhausted from decorating!
