5 Tips for Feeling Beautiful on Your Big Day

Your wedding day is going to be one of the most special moments of your life – so any extra effort made to feel beautiful is only going to be a bonus compared to the amazing feeling you will have publicly declaring your love and becoming a committed, married couple. That doesn’t mean that a little extra effort will hurt, though, so here are 5 great tips for feeling your best on your big day.

1.   Treat Yourself to a Little Pampering

Although a good skin and beauty routine may already be a part of your everyday lifestyle, you may want something extra-special to make you feel truly looked after for your wedding day. You could have a more expensive and tailored facial, skin peel or all-body treatment to have your skin glowing and cared for in time for your big day.

2.   Consider Intimate Photography Packages

There’s a lot that your official wedding photography will capture, and guarantee amazing mementos of your big day. However, why not take that a step further and also have a personalized bridal photoshoot taken as a chance for more romantic, intimate shots just for you and your partner? These bridal boudoir photoshoots can really serve to have you feeling more empowered, sexy and confident as a bride – and as a person.

3.   Think Practically About Your Hair

Certain looks may make you feel gorgeous in rehearsal but think ahead to how you will feel having a certain hairstyle or wearing a certain headpiece all day long. Your wedding day is going to be a very long day. Therefore, in order to look and feel your best, you need to go for comfort. If you’ve always thought you would like a down-do for your special day but you have long hair which you find always annoys you, you may feel more confident with an up-do which will keep your hair out of your face all day long.

The same goes for headpieces – a sparkling tiara may look beautiful when you try in advance, but is it going to irritate you as the day wears on? Make sure that you are comfortable with everything you choose.

4.   Try Your Chosen Makeup Out with Your Dress

You would usually have a makeup trial and a dress shopping trip separately. If you tried your chosen dress on with a face full of makeup which is entirely different to how you plan your makeup to be, it’s a good idea to try them both together to ensure that the look works well and that you feel comfortable.

You may have loved a bold lip during your makeup trial, but find that it actually draws attention from your wedding dress when you try it on again. Or maybe a neutral makeup look actually doesn’t suit a plainer dress and needs something more to make it pop.

5.   Eat Light

You don’t want to feel bloated or sluggish on the morning of your big day, so avoid any unhealthy foods or junk food the night before your wedding, and aim for a light breakfast. This will have you feeling more comfortable, and you can better save your appetite for the delicious wedding meal you have planned.
