Getting ready for your wedding can feel never-ending. Hair, nails, spray tan, facials, pedicures, and more! It can feel like there are so many things you need to do.
First– let's make something clear. You don’t NEED to do anything! And anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong. If you don’t like spray tans, don't get a spray tan! If you don’t like facials, then girl, you don’t need a facial! Do what makes you feel beautiful. It’s YOUR wedding.
Now that that’s out of the way, let's get into our list of rules for getting ready for your wedding!
DO’s
Have a hair and makeup trial
Hair and makeup artists know what they’re doing, but make sure you know what you want! Having a trial ensures you’re getting exactly what you want for your look. Something you thought you would really like could turn out completely different than you thought. Having a trial helps avoid this!
Test out your spray tan a few times to find the right color for you
Ask your hairstylist if you should wash your hair the night before or the morning of, or if it matters for them!
Ask your makeup artist if you should come bare-faced or do your regular skincare.
Eat breakfast
No if’s, and’s, or but’s. Eat. Something.
Stay hydrated
Dehydration will be a party pooper. So drink your water! All day!
DON’T’s
Wear a bra or socks, or anything that will leave indents
These will leave lines on your skin from the tightness of the straps. Sure, they’ll go away eventually, but you don’t want them in your getting-ready photos either!
Try new skincare products
Stick to what your skin is used to. You don’t want to be broken out in hives the morning of your wedding!
Finally, don’t feel like you have to do anything you don't want to do. As we’ve already said, it’s your day. Do what makes you feel most beautiful!
Congratulations! You’re going to look fabulous.
