5 Great Tips for Bridal Beauty From Head to Feet

Being a bride is very stressful for most. Everyone is looking at you, and you are suppose to look your best.  You have the maid of honor in one ear, your mother in another, and if your groom-to-be has a say in it…he could be your third eye.  (No, that was not a zit in the middle of your forehead).  All of that ear noise is enough to boggle even the most put together bride.

So, how do you deal with all of the advice, comments, suggestions, well-meaning, useless, trivial words of little or no meaning? Shut your ears, girls.  Listen to your head & your heart….that’s how you got to be here in the first place.

#1 Bridal Beauty Tip- IT IS YOUR DAY!…How do you want to look?  If you want to look like a princess, then let’s do it.  Remember, your mother got married over 20 something years ago, it’s not her day, or your husbands--it’s your day.  Let’s make YOU Shine.  Whether you opt for casual or a formal wedding…you have to look fabulous.

#2 Bridal Beauty Tip- HIRE PROFESSIONALS. I know that your mother was a hairdresser and your 2nd cousin is a makeup artist, and when you look like a throwback to the 60’s..oops, also, remember, this is not the place to save money.  You need to look great girl…for more on this tip, please see the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  P.S.  If you really need to save here, go for a makeup lesson…learn how to use the right tools (makeup & brushes).

#3. Bridal Beauty Tip – START EARLY.  Make a VOW to WOW. Don’t WAIT until 6 weeks before the wedding to think about you.  Just like you reserve the church early, you need to start early with your skin care, your beauty routine including skin care, wellness and fitness….yes, that booty has to look great from the face to the feet.  It’s not just the outside…it’s the inside too…plenty of water…& maybe it’s time to take a yoga class to de-stress.

#4 Bridal Beauty Tip. BEAUTY MEANS FACE to FEET.  Last time I checked you were a whole person, with hands, feet, face,…you know the whole package.  You know so many brides it is just hair & makeup.  Goodness, didn’t you look at your feet, no look at your heels…oh my.  You don’t want to hear, the bride was beautiful, but you should have seen her cracked heels….not good.  Hands, body, feet, face…hair, makeup, skin care… the works girl.   You should also check out some of the new targeted body wraps for those thighs or tummy.  You will look oh so perfect in that dress without having to wear the “ever so tight” body shaper.

#5 Bridal Beauty Tip. PERFECT IS AS PERFECT DOES. It is not a blissful feat to achieve perfection on your wedding day.  Our human nature & every little girl’s dream is to have the perfect wedding, the perfect day, to look perfect and feel even better.  Don’t sweat the small stuff.  Something may go wrong.  In fact, with all of the little details, it’s fairly likely something will go wrong.  Don’t let on.  Don’t blink an eye.  Pretend like you are on the red carpet and wave to the crowd.  Wow you look great!
