So bookmark this page to help you tackle your fears and ensure you have nothing but a happy wedding day through the bride dressup and makeup to the nuptial ceremony! It is a special day and you deserve nothing but the best, so we hope these tips help you managing everything before the big day for the big day...

1. The bridal outfit to jewellery

Between setting the date and booking your makeup artist comes the base of bride dressup and makeup; choosing your bridal outfit and the perfect jewellery to make it all work for your features and figure. Always pick an outfit which caters to not only your style, comfort level but also the season and timing of the wedding. These crucial aspects all can totally change your outfit. For a winter wedding, you can choose something luxurious like velvet and dark brooding colours while in the summer and spring you can choose a more subtle and pastel palate but then again these colours also depend on your venue.

So to strike off the biggest question, of what you are going to wear...start going for exhibitions and try out different boutiques and designers till you find the design you have fallen in love with! But start this tedious process soon after the date is set because every other element in your bridal getup depends upon the outfit. The next element, jewellery can be ticked off the list based on the theme of your outfit, traditional, modern and even the gold vs platinum debate before the bride dressup and makeup.

2. Stick to a skincare regime

If you are one of the lucky few who has her skincare regime down to the T covering all the boxes of Cleanse, tone & moisturise then stick to it and if you are still experimenting and don't know what suits you. We advise you to meet a dermatologist and find suitable products which you should stick to and avoid experimenting with products to avoid any reactions before the grand bride dressup and makeup. To indulge and pamper your skin, you can always enrol for bridal sessions at salons for treatments and massages which will do good to your skin before your bride dressup and make up. Always get a consulting session before you get any session. You can also get special bridal packages, be sure to check out Lakme salon price list for some added information.

3.  Get your dream team!

Now comes the most crucial aspect of the bride dressup and makeup: Choosing the perfect team of makeup, mehndi and hair artist. The two main keys are research and trials. In this digital era, all the information you need is available on the internet from their portfolio to charges and even reviews from other brides. So once you've set aside a few artists, get in touch with them on the basis of whether they are available on your date, if they have a hairstylist in their team and the other main questions.

Based on that we always suggest getting a trial done where the MUA might even give you suggestions for lenses or even hair colour to accentuate your bridal look. These trials are also the perfect time to bond with the team to make sure you are comfortable around them and ensure that your last few hours as a single lady during your bride dressup and makeup will be nothing less than fun!

4. Be prepared

The last and probably most overlooked point is preparing for the small things. Before the big day itself to avoid any undue stress, we suggest you pack a small bag to carry at the location you are set to get ready. While the MUA artist preps your face and works her magic you will probably wear just your blouse, so keep a change of comfortable pants or even PJs to be comfortable as the whole bride dressup and makeup takes a minimum of 2 hours. Keep other articles like pins, hair clips, fresh flowers handy just in case of emergencies. Check with the hotel to provide a room with a large mirror and always check the lighting beforehand and ask your MUA if additional lighting will be required.

Once you have ticked the boxes on all these points, relax and sit back you are all ready for your bride dressup and makeup. As stressful as you think these last few hours are before your nuptials, they need not be so! So ditch the last-minute jitters and embrace your last single hours with happiness and fun after you set everything in order for your bride dressup and makeup.
