Makeup And Hair: Getting The Wedding Look You Want
On your wedding day not only do you want the perfect dress, but you also want the perfect face. You want your makeup and hair to be flawless. Besides the dress, the first thing everyone is going to look at when they see you is your face. And, not only that, but you are also taking a lot of pictures and you want to photograph well. So, how do you get the perfect makeup and hair for your big day?
Makeup. Every bride is different when it comes to wedding makeup. Some people prefer to do their own makeup. Others prefer to hire a professional. If you decide to do your own, make sure you invest in makeup that lasts long and photographs well. And, if you go with a professional, make sure you like their style. Ask to see samples of their work and even for a test run.
Hair. First you have to decide how you want your hair to look on your wedding day. A lot of this might have to do with whether or not you are wearing a veil or tiara. Then, you can try doing it yourself or hire someone. If you hire someone, make sure you like their portfolio. And, ask them for a test run too.
How To Pick That Perfect Gown
In Sophie Kinsella’s popular novel, “Shopaholic Ties the Knot”, Becky Bloomwood, the main character embarks on her first wedding dress shopping experience. As she walks into the shop, the saleslady welcomes her and sales that at their shop, “You do not choose your dress.” Her friend Suze interjects and finishes the sentence saying that the dress chooses you. The saleslady gets extremely flustered and says that is not right. Actually, “You meet your dress.”
So, if you are currently shopping for a wedding dress like Becky was, remember that you are looking to “meet your dress” – much like you met your future spouse. And, picking the perfect dress is going to require you to have a list of qualifications that your dress should meet, just like your future husband had to meet a list.
So what should be on this list of qualifications? The essentials of your perfect dress are not always mutually exclusive with your qualifications. However, if you have a list, you will be able to come close to finding a great dress for your perfect day. Keep in mind how much you want to spend. Also, what are you going to wear with the dress? Then, look for a style you like and go from there. Good luck!
