It is a given that you want to look your best on your wedding day, but there are additional steps to ensure flawless wedding photos. Make sure your face and nails are photo-friendly and pamper your body. Here are 4 ways to look flawless for your wedding photos.
Pay Attention to Detail
Wedding portraits capture all of your facial details, so you want to make those details look their best. Get a face wax several days before the wedding so that your skin is not irritated on wedding day. Your face will be smoother for makeup and dark hairs won’t show through in photos. Use a lighted magnifying mirror to check that each blemish is covered fully. Don’t forget the importance of a bright smile, teeth whitening can really make the difference to help your smile shine in photos.
Get A Professional Manicure
Your guests won’t pay attention to your nails, but wedding band photos are popular and they will highlight your nails. Get a professional manicure the day before the wedding. A classic French manicure coordinates well with a white wedding dress. Consider accenting your ring finger with a special nail design. Have a friend double check for imperfections before you leave the manicurist.
Have an Easy Wedding Eve
The day before the wedding is a time to relax and pamper. Don’t do anything that will leave your eyes bloodshot and puffy. If you consume any alcohol, match each drink with a glass of water. Don’t try to lose an extra few pounds as you will probably feel tired on you’re wedding day. A full eight hours of sleep will keep you from looking sleepy in the photos but don´t take a sleeping pill because you will feel groggy in the morning.
Eat a Balanced Diet
Eat a well balanced diet leading up to the wedding. You will feel light and energetic on your wedding day. Eat lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy snacks. Stay hydrated throughout the day. Water cleans out the toxins in your body, hydrates your skin, and regulates digestion. Eat light meals the day before and the day of your wedding. Avoid foods that cause gas and bloating. Even one large meal can cause your dress to fit poorly.
Much of how you look on your wedding day is based on how you feel. Eat well and have a full night of sleep. Pay attention to the details of your face and your nails so that you will look your best in the wedding photos. The more prepared you are for the photo shoot, the more confident you will feel and that will show in the end result! Most of all, focus on your new spouse on the day—that will keep you happy and smiling, and your love for them will surely be reflected in those all important images.
