Wedding Day Makeup What You Should Know

Makeup is probably the most important wedding day accessory. Done correctly it will compliment your features and allow them to be more prominent in your photos and film.  However, when choosing your makeup artist make sure that they get who you are and can highlight your features and have you looking like yourself instead of applying layers of cakey makeup so that in the end you don’t really recognize yourself. 

If makeup is not your thing and you do not wear it daily let them know.  Clear communication is the key. If you think you want smokey eyes then try it prior to your wedding day.  With the clock ticking the last thing you will want to do is wash your face and start over.

On your wedding day have your photographer present when you are having your makeup applied.  Through his digital lens you will be able to see yourself instantly and know if your makeup has been blended well.  Remember, high resolution cameras are going to pick up and highlight every imperfection-

When you do your trial run prior to your wedding day bring a picture of your dress, bouquet and hair accessories.

Unless your makeup artist is your best friend or an invited guest purchase the lipstick you decide to use on your wedding day.  You will need it throughout the day for touch ups.

Make up is here to enhance your beauty not hide it. It is your wedding be comfortable with how you look so you can relax and enjoy your special day.

5 Tips to Avoid Wedding Day Disaster

With the proper pre-planning you should be able to avoid some wedding day disasters that could easily turn your perfect wedding and you into an emotional mess.

1. A good time line will help keep your guests present, excited and engaged in your big day.

2. An accurate, alphabetical, list of attendees with their seat assignment will help to avoid major chaos when one of your guests shows up to your reception with an uninvited partner.

3. Finalize with all your vendors the week before your wedding.  Make sure to touch base via phone, at least once during this time. Do not assume that because you sent an email they received it. If you do decide to do your confirmations by email ask for a confirmation receipt from each vendor.  Make doubly certain that each of your vendors has the right date, event start time and location.

4. If you have a complicated bustle on your Wedding dress designate a reliable person to be responsible for bustling your dress after your service.  Prior to the wedding day have that person practice doing this a few times so you know how much time you need to get it done. 

5. You must walk in the shoes that you plan to wear at your ceremony and reception prior to the big day.  You want to ensure that the soles are really scuffed - flower petals and carpets can become a sliding pond for new shoes.

Here is an extra one for good luck- In the Jewish faith traditionally the groom breaks a glass wrapped in a napkin to symbolize the destruction of the Temple.  Make sure to use a light bulb and not a real wine glass, because with an actual wine glass you run the risk of the glass puncturing through his shoe ending up embedded in his foot. OUCH!
