Looking for a Good Water-Proof Wedding Mascara?

BIONIC MASCARA
Smashbox Bionic Mascara is fabulous! Plus its water-proof so it won't smear with those wedding day tears!

Hello Girls!

I would like to introduce myself to all of you future wives. I have been a manager in the beauty industry for a fantastic 5 years. After spending my weekends working with more bridal parties than I can count and loving every minute I have become a salon and spa wedding and special events coordinator. I would like to start by showing all of you brides to be how to set yourself up to look your best on your special day!


6 Months- Wanting to make a big hair change? Start growing out or making that drastic color change now! This way you will have time to adjust and perfect before your big day.


4 Months- Time to start working on that skin! In order to create a perfect make up palette you need to start a series of facials. This will also help you to get familiar with an esthetician to start going over make up looks to match the theme of your wedding.


3 Months- Choose a salon and get your trial hair and make up and day of appointments booked. Talented salons book up quickly! This will be enough in advance to get your ideal appointment time with a great stylist. Its best to book your trial 1 month before your wedding day so that you still have time to change if needed and the look is fresh in your head. Make sure your day of appointments give you time to change into your dress get pictures and relax before you walk down the aisle.


1 Month- Take time for yourself and book a massage. This helps to take away any existing wedding planning stress. If your schedule is packed come in a little early on the day of your trial hair and make up. This way you will avoid an extra trip. 


1 week- Planning on any waxing? Now is the time. Brow shaping (the mini face lift) is a great choice to give a little boost to your already gorgeous look.


1 Day- Get your nails done. Whether your wedding is themed more for a stand out color or an elegant french tip this will create you finished look.


Day of- Come in, sit down, look great! Let your technicians do the work with that fancy hairstyle and make up. Since you already had a trial you can relax knowing there won't be any surprises.


Time to say I DO :)
