“I remember waking up and lying there. I was really calm and just thinking—this is it, this is the day.”
How should a bride start the morning of her wedding day so that it will become a celebration rather than an intense preparation for the main event?
None of the tasks for the day can be done in advance. Neither the hairstyle nor putting on the wedding dress can be done ahead of the wedding day. Therefore every little inch of the to-do-tasks has to be planned ahead in order to get a good-night’s sleep without worrying if there is something that was missed. It is also very important that the excitement and anticipation doesn’t turn into nervousness and tension!
Usually, the make-up artists and stylists meet with the bride in advance to discuss about the dress the bride will be wearing and whether she likes to have a dramatic look or natural make-up and then a trial is set.
Make-up and photos.
If there’s one lasting reminder of your wedding day, it’s going to be your photographs.
So you want to make sure you look great in them—that last minute blemishes are concealed, that your hairdo lasts and that you’re able to maintain your bridal loveliness throughout a long day or night.
A bride’s hair is her crowning glory and the decision about how to style it also follows closely on the style direction of her wedding dress. We know you have a million of other details on your mind so The Wedding Belle narrowed it down to three:
Classic – the Audrey Hepburn hairstyle that is an inspiration of the timeless look.
Modern – The look that is very organic, free and very personal. A complete work of art where in the style isn’t so perfect, a few bumps show and a few strands went astray. Fresh flowers and darker lip color can add to the modern style.
Romantic – The princess look that is created in a fairytale beauty in fantasy weddings.
It can be inspired by the wedding saying: “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
The wedding-day morning has to become a celebration of beauty for the bride. As she begins her own personal makeover to prepare for her wedding day, the transformation should not just be a wedding preparation – it should also be enjoyable. After all, it is not just about her getting great hair and make-up applications but also a boost for the entire day!
