What to Avoid the Week of Your Wedding

❌What to Avoid The Week of your Wedding❌

You’re excited that your wedding week is finally here! This makes so many brides jump in and try a new facial or waxing studio, but I would highly recommend against this. The best rule of thumb is to avoid anything new the weeks leading up to your wedding. Here are some things I suggest avoiding the week of your wedding:

It’s not the time to try a new skincare routine or facial. If you are someone that routinely gets facials then feel free to keep up your facials, but don’t try anything you haven’t done before. Facials can cause your skin to purge, especially if you don’t have them often, this can leave you with unwanted breakouts for your wedding. I tell all my brides to start a great skincare and facial routine a year out from the wedding. This lets your skin acclimate to the products, and you know what works and what doesn’t.

If you’re getting your brows waxed, be sure to go to someone you trust and have been to before. Every wax studio uses different kinds of wax, this can lead ti breakouts, lifted skin or even burns. Stay with your trusted wax studio, and I suggest getting waxed 7-10 days before your wedding.

Discontinue use of retinols at least 10 days before you’re big day! You don’t want your skin peeling off. Even if you’re someone that has been using retinols for years, your skin can still go through shed periods. When your skin is shedding and peeling this makes it very difficult for your makeup artist to do their job, I see this issue so many times. It’s best to put the retinol away about 2 weeks prior to the wedding.

Avoid trying out a spray tan the week of the wedding. Spray tans are my favorite way to get that immediate glow, but trying one for the first time the week of your wedding is never a good idea. I suggest to my brides to schedule a trial at least a month before the big day. This way you can test out the color and see what day you like it the best. Schedule your tan with a certified and licensed professional that knows how to custom blend the perfect color for your skin tone.

Avoid a new hair color or cut the weeks leading up to your wedding. You may not be happy with the new style and you’re not going to have time to grow it out or fix it. Stick with what you normally would do at the salon, it’s not the time to try anything new.

Everyone gets excited the week of their wedding, but keep your beauty routine simple and as aligned with what you would normally do, and you won’t have to deal with the wedding day breakouts.

What Services Every Bride Needs for Their Wedding

👰🏻‍♀️BRIDES-TO-BE👰🏻‍♀️

Most brides come to me looking for advice on what services to get and when. Although it can vary from bride to bride, here’s what I recommend for most:

✔️ Lash Serum: start using about 4 months before your big day. This gives the serum time to work and your lashes to grow. If you want to try lash extensions be sure to try them out about 2 months before your wedding.

✔️Abrasive Skin Treatments: think of lasers and intensive peels. I think it’s best to start doing this anywhere from a year to 6 months out from your wedding date. This allows you to take care of any textural or complexion concerns you have. It gives your skin time to heal after procedures and decide if you need multiple treatments.

✔️Regular Facials: I believe this is something everyone should do every 4-6 weeks to maintain skin health. If you’re just starting to get facials for your wedding begin at least 6-12 months out, so you can start to see real results and let your skin acclimate to a new skincare routine.

✔️Beauty Touch Up Kit: this is a small kit of must haves for your wedding day. Start putting it together about a month before your nuptials. Things I recommend packing: a lipstick or gloss, blotting papers, q tips, Kleenex, concealer, bobby-pins, powder, and hairspray.

✔️Hair Removal: schedule about 4-7 days before your wedding. This will ensure you don’t have any redness or breakouts on the big day. If you’ve never waxed before, don’t try it the week of your wedding, schedule that months in advance to try out.

✔️Nails & Pedi: best to schedule 3-5 days before your wedding date.

✔️Spray Tan: this beauty treatment should be done after all other maintenance. It’s typically best to schedule this 2-3 days before your wedding. It takes a day to set before rinsing off. I also always suggest scheduling a trial run at least a month ahead of your wedding. This will ensure you get the perfect color on the perfect day.

Tips fora Great Makeup Appointment

Tips for a great makeup appointment!

Some glam day tips to make your makeup appointment go smooth.

Arrive with a clean, makeup free face. This makes the process go by seamlessly and fast, no one wants to take off your leftover mascara from the night before.
Makeup artist love an inspiration photo to work from. This helps them see what style you’re going for and gives them a jump off point. They can suggest some changes they may think are best for your features. It also helps with the confusion of asking for a “natural” look, everyone’s idea of natural is completely different.
Your opinion matters! Yes we want to make you happy, so if you’re not vibing with something your artist is doing, let them know. Makeup is a collaboration, we would much rather know if you don’t like something, then have you secretly hate it. We want to make you happy!
Avoid sunscreen and heavy creams the morning of your appointment. You can put on skincare when you wake up, but be sure it’s something that soaks into the skin and doesn’t sit on top of it.

How to Prep Your Bridesmaids for Your Wedding Day

✨Getting glammed with your besties on your wedding day is almost as fun as the actual wedding!

Here’s some tips to make everything go seamless for your big day:

Arrive on time. Staying on schedule will set the tone for the entire day. Hair and makeup have a set amount of time for each girl, and if someone is late it can throw off the timing completely.

Show up with clean, fresh skin, sans spf. Also for my hair girls, have clean, dry hair for styling!

Have some glam ideas ready to go. Having a general idea of what you want can help us guide you to your perfect glam. Photos are helpful as a guide to start from, but remember they’re often filtered and edited.

Chat with your bridesmaids about who will be going first. Don’t worry girls, we will touch you up at the end. But also maintain flexibility throughout the day, a strict schedule never works, some people will take shorter or longer times.

We love sharing your wedding day excitement and look forward to the 2023 season!

Tag all your bridesmaids below! 💕
