NEW HAIR COLOUR :
Even if your colorist is the absolute best, avoid making changes to your hair within a week of your wedding. You never know how the colour could oxidize or how it will look with your skin tone. If you want to refresh your hue without endangering your look, ask your colorist to put a clear gloss on your strands. This will add a lot of shine and sheen. But if you do get mixed up with some bad colour before the big day, you won’t do too much damage to your hair by getting it re-coloured right away—as long as there weren't high levels of bleach involved in the process.
DRASTIC HAIRCUTS :
Wedding trials and consultations start about three months prior to the actual day, and you should keep the same hairstyle throughout the process. Not only will the texture and style of your hair change if you get it chopped, but keep in mind something drastic may not look right with your dress's neckline, veil, or wedding day jewelry. I suggest only going in for a quarter-inch "micro trim" a month before your big day to snip off any fried ends. But other than that, steer clear of the shears! "No matter how well you plan ahead there seems to always be something left to the last minute—hair should not be one of them. The closer you get to the big day, the more stressed and emotional you'll be. You want to make all of these preparations and decisions while you're still clear headed.
For something you sip, alcohol carries a ton of extra calories, so you may want to cut back even earlier than the week before your wedding. As for immediate effects, alcohol can make you look and feel puffy due its sulfur-bearing gases and other qualities that weaken your digestive system. (And who wants to say "I do" feeling like a marshmallow? I thought not.) What's more, alcohol dilates your blood vessels, which can lead to wedding picture-compromising redness
Stick to the routine you've been doing," , "Now is not the time for new moves". Pulled muscles can take weeks to heal and you definitely don't want to be too sore to get down on the dance floor. If your goal is to lose weight, make sure to start a new fitness program well before your dress fittings. And if you're just looking for an amazing way to relieve pre-wedding stress grab a friend for a quick walk or run in the park. "There is something about being outside with a friend that is so helpful,"
"Sometimes brides panic at the last minute that they've got too much or too little makeup on, “That’s why during the trial—when they're in a much more rational state of mind— brides have a chance to try out different looks." At the end of the day, trust in your makeup artist, who takes your skin type, age, hairstyle, wedding color palette, and the time, location, and style of your day into consideration when designing your look. "Modern bridal makeup is a little like red carpet makeup," "It needs to look good on HD video cameras, professional cameras, personal camera phones, in bright light.
PEELS OR MICRODERMABRASION :
A peel or microdermabrasion session promises silky-smooth skin in the future, but it's a total no-go the week before you wedding. After receiving a chemical peel or microdermabrasion some people see their skin peel off repeatedly, which leaves dead skin on the surface that can ball up under makeup, Others see their skin get extremely red and irritated. And wearing makeup, which is the reason you went in for a skin smoothing and cleansing treatment in the first place, can only exasperate that irritation. Schedule any appointments for a peel, microdermabrasion etc, at least 3 weeks before your wedding in case there is any redness or bruising.
JUICE CLEANSERS :
I like to think of food as fuel. "You need calories to keep you alert and help you get through your crazy, busy weekend. It's not the time to stop nourishing yourself." Juice cleanses are very low in calories, sapping your energy and making you irritable. And cleanses that include mostly fruit juices are high in sugar. "The week before you should be eating well-balanced meals with a focus on fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water—and don't skip any meals!"
NEW -TO -YOU SKINCARE PRODUCTS :
Don't change your skincare regimen if you have fewer than two weeks to go before your wedding. You should change it months in advance." Swapping in a new product could lead to allergic reaction, dryness, oiliness, or a bevy of other side effects that take time to correct. Be sure to see your dermatologist a few months ahead of time. Your doctor can give you a personalized pre-wedding skin care routine, which will address your specific concerns to make sure your skin is radiant for the big day. Your dermatologist should be up there on your to-do list with the dress fittings and flowers.
Up all night hand-embossing your ceremony programs? Find a dutiful friend to fill in and get some sleep! When we're sleep-deprived our bodies produce more "ghrelin", the hormone that tells us when to eat and less leptin, the hormone that tells us when to put down the fork. It's a diet-destroying combo, especially if you're reaching for junk food. Salty snacks make you bloat, not to mention the fact that eating foods with no nutritional value can leave you feeling sluggish.
Sleep deprivation also affects your immune system. You're more likely to get a viral infection if you haven't been getting enough sleep. Logging enough shut-eye also improves your complexion, rids your eyes of dark circles, and—let's face it—makes you a happier, calmer bride. (Your bridal party will thank you).
EXCESS CAFEINE :
Relying on caffeinated beverages to get you through those long nights (as well as the long, last minute detail-filled days) just adds fuel to the bad-for-you fire. "Caffeine is a stimulant and an irritant, especially to the nervous system," You're going to have a lot of anxiety and nerves to begin with. You don't need to add to your stress. And caffeine may even wreak havoc on your bridal beauty. Caffeine is very dehydrating and can contribute to dark circles under your eyes,What's more, caffeinated beverages—whether they're energy drinks or cups of coffee—pack a ton of extra sugar. Experts agree you're OK to stick with your normal caffeine consumption, but don't overdo it!
