When you decide on the event date it's important to also make an appointment with a dermatologist. Having well textured radiant skin is more than an amazingly airbrushed glow. It comes from healthy skin. Healthy skin also comes from good hydration and vitamins from fruits and vegetables. It takes a team of professionals working with you, the bride, to ensure this is a positive healthy and nice experience planning and preparing for your wedding. Consider the wedding preparations as two separate categories; the first is details for the specific event that day the second is preparations specifically for you the bride. Weddings can be stressful. To feel your best please consider working with a mental health professional, dermatologist, nutritionist, massage therapist, an esthetician, and of course your Belle Of The Ball styling team. Please trust me on this, the mental health professional and nutritionist will help you to feel your best on the inside. The dermatologist and esthetician will get your skin texture at its best plus a massage once a month and you will look and feel like an enchanted beauty. I know this sounds like a lot, at minimum it would be best to make an appointment six months out for a facial and once a month leading up to the big day.
​
One year out: make appointments with your team of professionals.
Six months out: Start monthly facials and massages. Try out the person who will be shaping your eyebrows (microblading, waxing, threading). Find a body scrub you like and use it on a weekly basis as well as a morning and evening face wash and lotion routine that works for you and your skin. Please feel free to call/video chat with me anytime to put together a plan for your skin if you would like a little input. Also, get yourself a large water bottle and make daily hydration goals.
Four months out: All the above. Make and have an appointment with whomever is coloring/cutting your hair, styling your nails, shaping your eyebrows and try everything out. Make sure this is the color you want to see in photos multiple years later. Looking for recommendations on specialists, please just ask, I have been in this industry for over 20 years and have worked with some of the best in the industry.
Two months out: All of the above. Continue with your monthly and weekly body and skin routines. Check in with us, your hair and makeup styling team to create you and your groups style vision board.
Wedding Month, Congratulations! Get yourself a massage, facial, mani/pedi, eyebrow shaping four weeks out. One week prier have your hair colored and cut. Three days prier have your eyebrows shaped (if wax or threading). Two days prier have your spray tan (if you are having one done), manicure and pedicure.
You will be the most beautiful bride and we look foward to working with you on such a big life event, congratulations.
