Tips for your Wedding Day

1. Start Early:

   • Begin your day with ample time I always say whatever time you plan on starting your wedding day back it up by an hour or two. We often fall into routines, but on your wedding day, you're stepping outside your usual patterns. This is a day filled with high stress and heightened emotions, where things can become quite chaotic. You will be thankful for the extra time.

2. Eat and Hydrate:

   • Have a nutritious breakfast and stay hydrated throughout the day. Assign someone to ensure you have snacks and water nearby.

3. Stay Organized:

   • Keep all important documents (contracts, vendor contacts, marriage license) in one place. Designate someone to hold onto these documents.

4. Communicate Clearly:

   • Ensure everyone knows their roles and responsibilities. Establish a point person for coordinating logistics and addressing any issues that may arise.

5. Enjoy Special Moments:

   • Take moments to pause and savor the day with your partner, family, and friends. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so embrace every moment! Planning extra time in your schedule will free you up for special moments.

6. Delegate the Clean-Up:

   • Arrange for someone to oversee the clean-up and return of rentals after the reception. This allows you to leave the venue worry-free.

Wedding Makeup Don’ts

1. Don’t Try Anything New:

• Avoid experimenting with new skincare products or makeup formulas close to your wedding day. Stick to what you know works well with your skin to prevent any allergic reactions or breakouts.

2. Don’t Overdo Trends:

• While it's tempting to follow current makeup trends, remember that timeless elegance often outshines trendy looks. Opt for a classic, sophisticated makeup style that will stand the test of time.

3. Don’t Rush the Makeup Application:

• Allow enough time for your makeup: So many brides want to wait until the last minute to do their makeup. Plan to have your makeup application finished hours before you walk down the aisle. A professional makeup artist uses long lasting makeup and will use a sealer to prolong the makeup to last all day and night. This is a high emotion and high stress day. Adding extra time in your “get ready time” schedule really helps reduce stress and makes things run smoothly.

4. Don’t forget your Neck:

• Ensure your makeup seamlessly blends into your neck area to avoid a noticeable line of demarcation in photographs. This creates a cohesive and polished look.

5. Don’t forget about the Sun and Tan Lines:

• We recommend staying out of the sun for a couple weeks before your wedding. You don’t want to be be burnt and red or further along on a sunburn and be peeling on your big day. If you are in the sun in the months leading up to your wedding be thinking of tan lines. What are you wearing and will those lines be covered by your dress?
