Here are the biggest bridal mistakes that you should avoid to ensure you can look back at your pictures and still love your look! 

Makeup Trial

First off, not doing a makeup trial is a big mistake that is an easy one to avoid. Having a trial before the big day helps you feel confident about the look you’re going to be rocking and helps your makeup artist properly prepare so there are no major surprises on the day of. Schedule a day several weeks in advance with your MUA so you can discuss what you’re trying to achieve.

Hygiene Prep

Brides tend to go all out when it comes to making sure they look flawless as they walk down the aisle. One of the biggest mistakes brides make is not properly preparing their skin prior to the wedding day after getting facials, dermaplaning, etc. Making sure your skin is prepped and is as healthy as can be ensures that flawless look everyone hopes to get after their makeup is on! Another important prep step to consider is whitening your teeth. This can be as easy as following a whitening strip regimen or having your teeth professionally whitened. Whatever method you choose will make the best difference in your confidence and the photos/videos from the wedding.

Trendy Makeup And Hair

It’s easy to want to follow whatever makeup trend is popular at the moment, however choosing a style that is timeless ensures that you’ll love the look for years to come! You also want to stay away from makeup that is very unnatural/heavy looking. The same applies for hair styles as well! No one wants to look back at their wedding photos and wish they had opted for something different.

Alcohol Consumption

One of our biggest tips is to not get carried away drinking too much alcohol the night before the wedding. First off, no one wants to be nursing a hangover the next morning as you’re preparing to walk down the aisle. Secondly, drinking alcohol can cause bloating and make you have a faraway look in photos. We’re not saying don’t drink at all, but stay mindful of how much you’ve had!

Fitness Plan

Feeling your best on the wedding day starts with taking care of yourself! Developing and implementing a fitness plan months before the wedding can help you look and feel confident as you walk down the aisle! It takes effort but it pays off!
