Save this to your wedding tip folder, or send this to a bride that needs to hear this!!!
1. PLEASE!! For all that is good in this world DO NOT get a facial or try any new skin care products 1 week before your wedding day…you never know if something crazy will happen and you could get some kind of reaction to anything!! Even self tanner!!
2. watch your salt intake, and drink lots of water!! The more hydrated you are the better. Your make up will apply better and your complexion will look so much better! The less alcohol you drink the night before the better as well!!
3. Do not steam your dress last minute!! Let your bridesmaids do their bridesmaids duties!!! Make sure your dress is steamed or one of your bridesmaids maybe even two has been assigned the job of steaming all of the dresses the night before or morning of!! That needs to be one of the LAST things you need to worry about on wedding day!! Please don’t be afraid to ask for help from them!!!
4. Do not stress over the little things. Please just try to prioritize sleep for the entire week!
5. It is not your job to make coffee runs, and order breakfast the morning of!! Make sure someone is taking care of all of that for you the week before!! Fruit, eggs, small finger foods through out the morning while you are getting ready! Assign this job to another brides maid that may not be steaming dresses!!
