Six months to look great!
PRINT |  EMAIL
If you want to have great hair, lips and eyes, you have to start some six months before.
We like to think anything goes on your wedding day – that you can choose a wedding style as natural or outrageous as you are. That said, here are a few guidelines we've come to believe in:

  • Go for a complete, co-ordinated wedding look – your hair, dress and make-up should all complement each other.

  • Don't change your look radically for your wedding day.

  • Have a hair and make-up rehearsal.

    Most of the styles featured in the Bride24 Beauty gallery can be done at home – but, if you have the budget, a professional hairstylist and make-up artist (see the Health & Beauty Services Directory) will take the guesswork, and the stress, out of getting your wedding look perfect. To really shine on the day, start your beauty routine well in advance.

    6 months before

  • Try out a new haircut, or new colour. Get these touched up two weeks before the wedding.
  • Start a good cleansing routine for your skin.

    4 months before

  • Find hair and make-up artists you like and book them for your wedding. Do a trial run a month beforehand.
  • Try out self-tanners, at home or at a salon, keeping the lines of your dress in mind. Also, test how colourfast the tan is.

    2 months before

  • Have your teeth cleaned, and cut down on things like coffee and cigarettes (for a sparkling white smile).
  • Try out a facial or cleansing mask, and check how your skin reacts.We advise that you have a final facial not less than a week before the big day... so your skin will have time to recover.
