There are lots of exciting and relaxing things to prepare in the lead-up to your wedding day. Feeling beautiful when you’re making your way down the aisle is a big part of the experience, so here are some tips to get you going and glowing!
Whether you’re wearing a sparkly tiara, rocking your natural style or sporting a sophisticated updo, your hair will be a big part of your bridal look. So, get those luscious locks ready for what’s coming by chatting with your hairstylist in good time before your special day. Helping you prepare and recommending products, they'll defo teach you some tricks to make sure you have the best hair day! Top tip: When planning your ‘do, don’t make any drastic changes, like an extreme cut or colour, unless you’re 100% sure it’ll be the right look for exchanging those vows! Blushing bride or smokey-eyed goddess? The choice is yours when it comes to your makeup. A good rule of thumb, though, is to try out the potential look beforehand so you know what you like and don’t like.
Booking one of the amazing local MUAs or going to be your own artist? Either way, explore some ideas online and use the current bridal makeup trends for some inspiration. This season, softly-defined eyes paired with a bold lip are on every bride’s wishlist and we can guess why – mask requirements have made rocking a daring lipstick pretty impossible! So, take advantage of the fact that vibrant styles are back with a bang. That said, it’s not for everyone and if you want a more natural look while still feeling glam, go for the classic nude lip. Just add a glowy base and sparkly eyes for a truly stunning look! Nailing that bridal vibe (no pun intended, honest!) usually involves a manicure, perfect for those closeup shots of the rings! Head to your appointment armed with some ideas (hello, Pinterest board!) and it’ll be easy for your nail-tech to give you the best mani for your dreamy day! FYI, current bridal nail trends include pops of metallics on a nude or white base, and darker polishes in purple and navy – could your talons be your something blue? If you’re not trendled and after something more subtle and timeless, a French manicure is always good. How about funking it up with ombré detailing? You’re never fully dressed without a smile, so perhaps now is the time to perfect it? Having your pearly whites bleached or straightened is a breeze with one of the many experienced dental clinics in the northeast – just make sure to get this organised wellahead of the big day. This is also a prime time to get your nutrition right and release some endorphins. Not only will exercise and healthy eating keep you fit, it’ll also help combat the pre-wedding stress! Now that’s a win-win! ♥
