How to be the best version of yourself for your wedding day

Clare Louise

Every bride looks forward to their wedding day – many with panic that there is so much to do, organize and prepare. This is both for the actual wedding and for their own personal and physical journey. 

However, to lessen the stress that is put on yourself, you should start to look at some areas as early as possible, so you will then be able to turn your attention to organizing the big day with the love of your life.

#1 Hand and nail treatments

Having your hands and nails looking great is a must, but you must remember that your nails do not necessarily have to be long to look good – if you like short nails, go with that! Getting your hands and nails in tip-top condition is something that should not be overlooked. Be sure to have regular bookings with your nail specialist. Hands do a lot of work, and this can show in the appearance of your skin, both palms and the back of your hands. Where possible book yourself in for hand massages and masks to improve circulation and smooth, as well as rehydrate your skin. This is wonderful for destressing too. 

#2 Hair and beauty regimes

This is also true of your hair and face. Getting your hair in the best condition it can be, takes time and if you are wanting to grow it for lovely long locks on your wedding day there are plenty of different businesses offering growing serums that can help, but as ever all these things take time. Speaking to a qualified hairdresser could put your mind at ease as well as provide you with valuable insight into which products work and which ones don’t – along with which hair masks to apply at home to get your hair healthy.

Undoubtedly, booking yourself in for facials with a quailed beautician is a good idea if you can afford it, but if you cannot, then facial skin products are abundant on the market that if added to your daily or weekly beauty routine could help your skin tone and appearance. Just remember to avoid starting a new product within a month of your wedding – you don’t want a bad reaction. 

#3 Diet and exercise

Many brides put themselves on harsh diets to lose weight before their wedding, choosing smaller sizes of dresses for their goal. This can just add to the stress that they feel about the coming day. Starting to eat a healthy diet while taking exercise should be something that is started as soon as possible. 

In fact, eating a healthy diet will not only make you feel great, but it will also show in the quality and appearance of your skin, hair, and nails. While taking exercise can help with confidence, and moods while deflating stress levels, as well as the all-important toning and weight loss that comes with it. However, the dress is supposed to work for you, and you should look at designer wedding dresses for the one that makes you look stunning. 

A final thought

While all of this preparation goes on, it is important to realize that it is your day, and you need to feel comfortable in your surroundings as well as with yourself. The only person that you need to impress is your life partner and if you are standing at the altar with them, then the chances are you have already succeeded in that.
