Health & Beauty

Feel good, look good

The way you look on your wedding day will reflect how you feel on the inside. Eating healthily and drinking lots of water for a few months before the day will give you a healthy glow that beauty treatments just cannot accomplish.

If you don't want to apply your make-up yourself, it is a good idea to book a make-up professional. They have the experience and knowledge of what looks good for weddings. Dewy skin, flushed cheeks and a natural look are what you want to go for. Overdoing the make up could make it look as if you have gone "over the top", but for most women wearing no make up may make them look washed out in the photographs.

Your hair should be simple and elegant; it should also be a style that you can feel relaxed in all day. Book your hair stylist a few months before. You don't want to ring up to book and find they don't have an appointment. Take along some pictures of the style you are looking for and discuss your hair accessories, such as a tiara and veil, so that they can work around these.

Why not book yourself into a spa the day before the wedding? There can be a great deal of pressure before the big event and if you can get the chief bridesmaid, your mother and the groom's mother to come along as well, it will give you some time for bonding. Other treatments you could consider are; eyelash dyes, eyebrow shaping, facial, pedicures, manicures, massage and fake tanning.
