1- Start With Smart Skin Care

Skincare is everything.  Cleanse, moisturize, and treat your skin every single day — no matter how busy your routine becomes in the last few weeks before the big day. If you want to get microdermabrasion or a chemical peel, try to schedule it at least 4 weeks in advance.

2- Prep And Finish Your Makeup

High humidity and warm weather will sometimes cause your makeup to melt right off your skin. After you’ve taken care of your daily skincare  routine, you should use a makeup primer to prep your skin and finish your makeup with a setting spray to keep the makeup from running.

3- Keep The Makeup Glamorous Yet Simple

There are really no rules about how your makeup is supposed to look, but it is generally a smart choice to keep your makeup look glamorous and simple. Instead of pairing smoky eyes with bright red lips, why not choose one and play down the rest? Most beach weddings are a little more casual, so it’s a great idea to keep in mind that less is more.

4- When It Comes To Hairstyles, Think Beach-y Waves

There is nothing more romantic (or more appropriate) for a beach weddings than long and loose waves.  Start the look with fresh clean hair, then take a curling iron and  create loose spirals. Finish off the look with a little bit of hair spray. From there you can pin them up into a loose chignon or updo or you can leave your hair down and pin a tropical flower to your hair.

1- Keep The Hair Relaxed.

Unless you’re getting married in the Buckingham Palace, there is no need to come up with an elaborate updo for your big day.  Instead, take a cue from your everyday look! Do you have long curly locks? Keep the curls frizz free with a anti-frizz serum and style your hair into a loose chignon.  If your hair is short and sleek, gently tease your hair at the crown for a little volume, and then use a light hairspray to hold your hair in place. Add a pretty barrette on the side to give the look something special. Consult your hairstylist for more ideas.

2- Hire A Makeup Artist For Your Big Day

Don’t worry about your makeup; hire a professional makeup artist to do your wedding day makeup. Make sure you meet up with the makeup artist at least a month in advance, and ask if they can show you samples of their work. Even better, ask a recently-married friend is she used a professional makeup artist and if so, would she recommend the makeup artist to a friend?

3- Keep Your Nails Polished

Forget bright colors, keep your nails simple yet elegant. Get your nails done at a professional nail salon at least a few days before your wedding. Think simple nail colors or a classic French manicure. You’ll want something that looks timeless and elegant, not trendy and dated.

If you are bothered by uneven skin tone, then starting a few months before your wedding have a light chemical peel or microdermabrasion done on your face. These are superficial treatments that can do your skin a world of good! Taut facial skin can be lessened and any fine lines will be diminished. This will make your skin look smoother, more even, and softer. If you will be wearing a low cut dress, then you might want to include your chest, back and neck in the treatments as well. Most spas offer these treatments.

Approximately one to two weeks before your wedding day schedule a relaxing facial treatment. Have your face steamed, exfoliated and then treat yourself to a facial mask that is both hydrating and firming. You deserve to nourish your skin, and this is an excellent way to do it.

Plan your makeup look well in advance. If you are planning to do your makeup yourself, then experiment with various types of eye shadows, foundations and lipsticks as early as one to two months beforehand. This will give you time to find the look that pleases you the most. Ask your girlfriends for their opinions and advice. Do as many practice run-throughs as you need to. You want to feel comfortable with the look you have chosen. If you decide to go to a cosmetician or makeup artist, it never hurts to go for some rehearsal makeup sessions so you can settle on the right look before the wedding day arrives.

Prepare a wedding day 911 skincare and beauty kit for yourself that includes eye gel for eye puffiness, eye drops, lip plumper, acne gel, tissues, and loose translucent face powder. Never forget that your inner beauty will show on your face. Let it radiate from you!

Six Months Ahead
If  you want to lose a little weight before the big day, now is the time to start. Check with your main physician before starting any plan, so she can assist and monitor your progress.  You  can cut back on red meat, dairy, and sugar products, but make sure you replace them with healthier options like vegetables, fruits, seafood, and whole grains. Up your intake of pure water as you cut back on sugary beverages and alcohol. It would be wise to start an exercise ritual at this time.

Four to Five Months Ahead
Start looking in bridal magazines for hair ideas and makeup ideas. If you’re going to be doing your own hair and makeup on the big day, now would be the best time to practice. Stop by a cosmetics store or counter and pick up a few new items to try. If you’re going to a professional for your big day look, schedule an appointment now. Don’t forget to meet with several makeup artists and hairstylists before actually scheduling an appointment.

Two to Three Months Ahead
If you haven’t scheduled your appointment yet, then do it now. Go ahead and start getting a few facials and spa treatments now to relax. If you have major skin problems such as acne or eczema, schedule an appointment with your dermatologist for a solution.

Six Weeks to 1 Month Ahead
Several weeks before the big day, call and make sure your beauty appointments are still scheduled for that day. Schedule a spa day one or two days before your wedding to get a facial, manicure, and pedicure. And on the actual day? Smile and have a good time!
