A wedding is a momentous occasion in any person’s life and the build-up to the big day can be filled with excitement and nervous anticipation. A fun way to prepare for your wedding day is to spend some time beforehand preparing and pampering yourself. Here are a few ideas to inspire you that hopefully won’t break the bank.
Pre-Wedding Party
A pre-wedding party could take a variety of forms. Some people like to invite their closest friends and family members to a night out or a special dinner to celebrate the upcoming wedding. These kinds of parties tend to be divided between the two partners so they can let loose separately before coming together afterwards.
Wedding Outfits
Although you will most likely have already chosen what you want to wear on the big day itself, it can be fun to think about what you might wear on your honeymoon or at the afterparty. Some people like to change outfits after the ceremony so they can move more freely and dance. This is by no means an essential or expected part of a wedding, but it is an option that some people appreciate. Taking your friends to choose wedding outfits can be a fun activity before the wedding.
Skin
Since most people hope to have many photographs taken on their wedding day so they can remember the special moments for years to come, it’s no wonder that skin care is an important part of the preparation process. When you get the perfect wedding day skin you can feel confident in the knowledge that you look your best in all your photographs.
Nails
Having clean and neat nails on your wedding day can make a surprisingly big difference. Not only can ragged or bitten nails look unappealing with your otherwise impressive get-up, but feeling self-conscious about them might distract you from enjoying the more important parts of the day. Getting a manicure and pedicure is an enjoyable indulgence that allows you to take a break from the stress of planning a wedding.
Hair
On the day of your wedding, you probably already have plans for your hair. Perhaps you have hired a professional hairdresser to come and style you on the day of the wedding or maybe you intend to do it yourself. However, it can be a good idea to prepare your hair for the main event by going to a salon and having a trim or a refresh. This could be by touching up your roots if you regularly dye your hair, or by indulging in nourishing hair treatment to give your locks shine and volume.
Massage
As mentioned already, planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful and you deserve the chance to take your foot off the pedal occasionally. A great way to make time for yourself in the lead-up to your wedding is to arrange a couples’ massage session at a spa. It’s important to spend time together as a couple without the pressure of booking venues and editing guest lists.
