Many brides have never worn any make up except perhaps lipstick in their normal everyday life. So when you contemplate the kind of make up for your wedding, don't just have a make up expert come the day of your wedding and put it on you. Have a discussion with your fiancé about how much makeup for your wedding he would like to see you wear. Otherwise he may come walking down the aisle and not even recognize you. If you could get your makeup expert to have your makeup done in advance the way you want to look on your wedding day and have your friends, mother and fiancé voice their opinions about it, you will be much happier with the make up for your wedding.

Next to the wedding gown your wedding hairstyle is the most important thing. Depending on the type of wedding you will have will determine what the wedding hairstyle should look like. If you are having an at home wedding then probably a more casual look would be appropriate. If you are having a church wedding it would depend on the number of people and how formal this event will be. Your wedding hairstyle could be just down with your everyday style or you could have a very elaborate wedding hairstyle. If you are young you also might want to have your hair up in the front and down in the back. Whatever you choose as your wedding hairstyle, don't fix it for the first time the day of the wedding. Practice it and if you are having a professional do it have her or him do it several times before the big day.
