Every woman wants to be, look and feel beautiful. This desire is magnified for brides-to-be. A bride wants to walk around confidently in her wedding gown and know that she is the most beautiful woman on this planet. She also wants her most beautiful appearance to be filmed and captured by the wedding videography and wedding photography which will form forever lasting memories. If you think you do not have what it takes, think again – you can be a radiant bride. All you have to do is plan a little bit ahead with these five easy-to-follow steps:
If you have a year before the wedding day
- Shed off insecurities
Get on the dreaded scale and evaluate your weight, your targeted weight and do not hesitate to seek a professional’s advice on the matter. You have a good year ahead which means anything is possible – you can get into a fitness plan, a diet plan whether you want to lose some extra weight, tone your body or get rid of that tummy. The earlier you begin, the less efforts you have to do.
- Stick to a beauty routine
Develop a routine that takes care of your beauty overall – eat healthy, keep fit and maintain it.
- Nourish your skin
Cleanse, tone and moisturise. In addition to this, incorporate extra things such as chemical peels or facials or eye treatments. Exfoliate regularly and nourish your skin with oils and milk baths. What you eat also affects your skin, so indulge in an omega-3 rich diet, hydrate and do not expose yourself too much to the sun or harsh temperatures.
- Cultivate good habits
Be disciplined in keeping to your beauty regimen, balanced diet and fitness plan. The rest will be smooth sailing as you go into the year.
- Dance with life
Embrace your engagement period, enjoy the good moments spent with your fiancé and your loved ones before you step into married life.
If you have 6 months before the wedding day
- Shed off insecurities
Assess your weight and take control of the situation. Do not hesitate to seek the advice of a nutritionist or personal trainer if need be.
- Stick to a beauty routine
Develop a beauty routine that covers your skin, your hair, your body and your nails. Visit your beautician on a monthly basis and go for sessions of laser hair removal or in-depth, rejuvenating facials or body scrubs.
- Nourish your skin
Hydrate and eat a balanced diet with food items such as avocado, Brazil nuts, omega-3 rich foods that will give your skin a healthy glow. Find products that work for any skin problem you might have and stick to the tone-cleanse-moisturise regime daily.
- Cultivate good habits
Stay disciplined, it might look like there is time until your wedding day however you do want to fit in your dress. Trim your hair regularly, care for yourself whether it is in exercise, nutrition and banishing stress.
- Dance with life
No matter how overwhelmed you might get closer to the wedding, remember that this is a joyful celebration. Take time to breathe, take time to enjoy your life the way it is right now as it will soon change in an exciting way.
If you have less than 6 months before the wedding day
- Shed off insecurities
Try not to take a crash diet as these usually have bad impact on your health and weight. Rather go running or join an aerobics class to lose extra weight. If you want to tone your body, hire a personal trainer. You might also want to try visiting your spa to see what they can offer in terms of slimming treatments.
- Stick to a beauty routine
More than ever, do not skip caring for your body, face, skin and health. Maintain an easy-to-follow routine.
- Nourish your skin
Include food items that are good for your skin, hydrate regularly and get salt scrubs a few weeks before the wedding to get a beautiful, natural glow.
- Cultivate good habits
Seeing that you have little time, you need to maintain good discipline in your wellbeing and beauty care.
- Dance with life
Take time to take a step back. Take time to breathe. Take time ‘off’ with your partner to keep enjoying the things you used to do before you started getting involved with wedding preparations.
