How to Prep for
Your Big Day

Set yourself up for a smooth, stress-free wedding morning with these simple Dos & Don’ts.

DO

Steam all dresses the day before — Avoid last-minute wrinkles or potential water spots.

Gather flat lay items in one place — Keep shoes, jewelry, perfume, invites, and any heirlooms in a box or tray for your photographer to access easily.

Blow-dry your hair on cool the night before — This helps reduce frizz and ensures a better styling result.

Start skincare early — Begin a series of hydrafacials and dermaplaning about 6 months prior to achieve smooth, glowing skin.

Have a fun playlist ready for you and your bridal party — Set the tone with music that keeps the energy light, positive, and celebratory while you’re getting ready!

Shape brows 3–5 days before — Wax or thread with your trusted brow artist to avoid irritation or surprises.

If tanning, opt for an airbrush tan — No need to tan your face, especially if you’re doing skincare and makeup.

Eat and hydrate — Choose light, easy-to-eat options like:

Fresh fruit

Pancakes or waffles

Bite-size charcuterie

Popcorn or chips

Pay all invoices the night before — This allows your day to begin stress-free and focused.

Pick inspiration photos featuring similar features to you — Skin tone, eye shape, and hair texture help us better match your vision.

DON’T

Try new skincare within 2 weeks of the wedding — No last-minute facials or unfamiliar products.

Get hair/makeup done then steam dresses — The steam and heat can ruin finished looks.

Shower the morning of — Water or steam can affect how your skin and hair hold product. (Shower the night before!)

Wait until the last minute to write your vows — Set aside intentional, quiet time before your wedding day.

Eat messy, greasy, or hard-to-handle food — Avoid big sandwiches or anything oily that could mess up your lipstick or outfit.
