Hairstyle and beauty tips for your wedding day

It goes without saying that every bride wants to look beautiful on her wedding day, but sometimes this is not as easy as it sounds. Preparing for a wedding can make it difficult for a bride to look her best, because stress, poor diet and even the weather can all take their toll. Fortunately, there are ways you can take the uncertainty out of looking good for your big day.

Planning      

The key, as with most things, is to plan carefully. The first step is deciding on how you want to look for your wedding. This involves deciding what kind of makeup you want – natural and subtle, or bold and vibrant – and your hairstyle – up or down? The former will usually depend on your skin tone and hair color, while the latter often depends on the style of wedding dress you have chosen and whether you intend to wear a veil. It may also depend on your hair. For example, if it is naturally frizzy, then it may be best to wear it up. It is important to keep your hair in good condition in the months before the wedding. This means having regular trims and using hair treatments, especially if you have colored hair.

If you wear glasses, you may also want to consider alternative visual aids that will enhance your appearance. While glasses are okay for everyday wear, they can have a negative impact when you are in your wedding dress. Opt for contact lenses for your wedding day, but get used to wearing them prior to the wedding, otherwise you may find them uncomfortable. Of course, if you have trouble wearing contact lenses or simply want to seek a long-term solution for your impaired eyesight, then you could consider laser eye surgery, which is performed at specialist clinics such as that found at LASIK Baltimore, MD. It would be best to have this surgery at least a month before your wedding, not because you need a lengthy recovery time, far from it, but because you may want to make changes to your look.

But it is your skin that really enhances your beauty, so you must pay it due care and attention. Get in the habit of having a daily skincare regime for at least a few months before your wedding day. Some skin experts say you should have it in place a whole year before. The first step is to ensure you have a good diet and drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin. If water becomes a bit boring, then you can always snack on watermelon and top up your water levels in this way, as well as getting vitamins A, B6 and C. If you can afford it, you would benefit from monthly facials at a salon. Regular facial and scalp massages will also improve your circulation and give your skin a really healthy glow. And remember to use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type daily.

Being prepared is the best way to ensure you look your best on your wedding day, and you do this by eating a balanced diet, keeping hydrated, and choosing your look in plenty of time.
