Getting Ready - On The Day!

A little bit of planning can make all the difference on the day. Here are some helpful hints that you can discuss with your partner.

Be on time or even a little early for your wedding day hair and make up appointment and have everyone there, ready to start at the appointed time.

Have your hair and make-up finished for when your photographer is due to arrive. Rushing is not a good start to the day and what is compromised is your photos! Be ready early so that your remain calm and happy - soaking up the day. If you are ready early, you have time to share that glass of champagne with the girls.

Make sure you have a strategy on how you'll get into your gown. On the day you'll want to preserve your hair and make-up. You can discuss this with your hairdresser.

For the guys - well that's a little easier. Just make sure you're at the ceremony about 1/2 hour before the start time so you can check everything is how she wants it (what a great start to the marrage!)

If using fresh flowers it is advisable to have them arrive early so that the hairdresser can decorate the hair around them.

Ask your mum or bridesmaid to carry a powder, tissues lipstick, lip brush, comb & small hairspray for touch-ups throughout the day. Check out our Emergency Kit.

Some Make-Up artists recommend that everyone should have a face peel a few day's prior to the wedding, as this removes dead skin cells and help the make up to retain a lovely fresh appearance. This can be done at your own beautician's salon.

Make sure your hands and nails look really lovely as they will be on display throughout the day. If your budget allows, you could have a french polish or permanent french nails.
