10 Mistakes to Avoid One Week Before Your Wedding
A week before the wedding is not the time to experiment, especially not with anything that can impact your look for the big day. Read on and take note - you don't want to make any of these mistakes.
If you’re a week away from your wedding, that means the time for experimentation has ended long ago. You still might get new ideas and advice but one week before the D-day is not the time you should be indulging in those. Here, we have prepared a list of most common mistakes that you should refrain from committing.
1. Let’s try a new beauty product!
No! Don’t try a new makeup or beauty product just a week before your wedding. You never know what reactions it might cause on your skin. Stick to the products you’ve tried and tested and trust. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

2. Let’s stress over the workload!
Don’t keep thinking about the workload all the time! If you’re a working woman, you must’ve already taken the pre-wedding week off. The workload will cause you more pre-wedding stress than you already have. And we all know how fast those odious dark circles and stress lines appear. Don’t let your professional life ruin the most precious day of your personal life.

3. Let’s cut down on the sleep cycle!
Don’t let your anticipation for the wedding mess with your sleep cycle. We understand you’re all excited, but talking or texting on the phone all night long during the pre-wedding week is a crime. Your hair, skin, and body need to get their beauty sleep in order to look and be flawless on the big day. Make sure you take ample rest during your pre-wedding week.

4. Let’s go for wedding shopping!
Don’t even think about it! Going for wedding dress shopping equal to hours and hours of walking around. Don’t let your skin get sunburnt just the week before your wedding. These things are ought to be finalised a month or two ago, and not right before getting married.

5. Let’s get a new hairstyle and hair colour!
Don’t commit such a mistake right before your wedding. Don’t ruin your big day by cutting and colouring your hair a week before. What if the hair stylist gets it wrong? What if your hair or scalp reacts to the chemicals? What if the look doesn’t suit your bridal look? This doesn’t mean that you can’t get your hair styled for your wedding day. Of course, you can but get it done 3-4 weeks in advance so that your hair and you yourself get used to it!

6. Let’s have a last-minute outdoor pre-wedding photo shoot!
Don't have a pre-wedding shoot one week before your wedding! Just as the wedding shopping requires hours under the sun, so will your outdoor shoots. Don't be cruel to your hair and skin and get the pre-wedding shoot done a month or two before the wedding. After all, you’ve invested time in your skincare regime, don’t ruin it by spending hours in the sun.

7. Let’s have junk food!
Don’t give in to temptations. Yes, we all love junk food. But in order to fit into your wedding dress and look stunning in your everlasting photographs, you need to eat clean and exercise. Leave the junk food for the honeymoon. For now, concentrate on maintaining a healthy diet and drinking a good amount of water. You’ll thank us for this tip!

8. Let’s save the heels for the big day!
Don’t keep your heels packed for the big day. Try them on for at least a month so that they grow comfortable. You’ll also realise if they are the right fit and whether you can depend on them for the D-day or not. By this week you are supposed to walk in them like a pro.

9. Let’s have the 'me time' all the time!
Don’t keep busy all the time. Spend some quality time with your family and close ones rehearsing the dance numbers, eating, laughing and going through the bridal jewellery and wedding trousseau. It’s the last week of you being single; the next time you meet with your family, you’re going to be a married woman. Enjoy this precious time in the company of your loved ones.

10. Let’s book the vendors now!
Don’t take such risks for booking your vendors just a week before your marriage. Banquet halls, florists, makeup artists, etc. must be booked over a month ago. You can find all the expert vendors at WeddingWire.in and get help from the chat support on the website itself. All you should be doing right now is confirming that everything is ready.
