- Don't drink wine or eat dark-colored foods like berries.Unless you want to capture a stained smile in your wedding photos, you should avoid foods that can tint your pearly whites. To get them extra pearly, invest in a professional teeth-whitening service. On a strict budget? Crest Whitestrips work magic!
- Don't get your first-ever bikini wax just before your wedding.If you plan to wax your bikini line, begin the process at least three months beforehand or face the consequences. Waxing that area becomes less painful each time, and you'll avoid major pain, swelling, and irritation on your wedding night.
- Don't change your birth control, skin-care program, washing detergent, etc., less than six weeks before the wedding.You cant afford any new rashes,these might have done well on a friend or relative but remember you are unique. Basically what we are saying is you don't want to introduce new products because you don't know how your skin will react.
- Don't get a facial, get your brows waxed, or cut or color your hair two days or less before your wedding.Get these services done a week or so beforehand,then you have plenty of time to remedy any ‘oopsie-daisies' that may happen!
- Don't ingest excess sodium the week before the wedding.That means no salty foods, sauces, dressings, or salty deli meats. Instead, choose low- or no-sodium everything starting at least seven days before the wedding. Sodium holds 50 times its weight in water, so you can shed two to five pounds the week before the wedding just by doing this.
- Don't flat-iron your hair before a trial or on your big day.If you're aiming for soft, romantic curls on your wedding day, you need to have fresh hair.That means if you flat-iron your hair the night before, make sure to wash it out!
- Don't sit around in your bra the morning of your wedding; this is the best way to avoid those unsightly pink indents on your back and shoulders (especially if you're wearing a strapless dress!). And if you're wearing your hair up but don't wear your hair up often? "My suggestion is to take a panadol with your breakfast to eliminate the possibility of an updo headache.
- Don't skimp on water!Double up on your water intake for at least one month prior to the wedding to keep your skin clear and glowing. You should also limit the toasting during you kitchen party or send~off,try to switch back and forth between alcohol and a glass of water.
- Don't forget your beauty emergency kit.Trust us when we say this will be a lifesaver. Include blotting papers, gum or mints, a razor, deodorant, Band-Aids, a small packs of tissue, nail polish remover, clear nail polish, a nail clipper, makeup remover wipes, tampons/menstrual pads, and anything else you think you might need.Be prepared for what can go wrong so it doesn't ruin your day.
- Don't cry off all your beautiful makeup!Tears will happen, so it's important to know how to weep correctly. Hold a tissue in each hand. Then press the tissues in the tear duct and let the tears run into the tissue and keep changing the tissue,this keeps you from rubbing your face and eyes and ruining your beautiful face.
