The Day Before Your Wedding

The Night Before

• Hair: Wash it and dry it completely. Skip conditioner and hold off on hair products for now. If your hair feels very dry, you can work a treatment into the ends; just be sure to rinse it out well.
• Skincare: After washing your face, use a hydrating sheet mask you already know suits you, and put on lip balm before bed.
• Sleep: Sleep is the best skincare! However busy you are, try to be in bed by around midnight.
• Body: Brides, make sure your underarm hair is completely removed.
• Where we'll get ready: Just check there are two chairs and a power outlet.

For the Groom

• Haircut: Get it cut 1–2 weeks before the wedding.
• The night before: Trim your nails and nose hair, add a face mask if you like, then get an early night.
• The morning of: Give yourself a clean shave.

Don't Leave These Until the Day Before

Done the day before, these can leave you red or irritated, or leave no time to fix anything, so it's best to get them done early.

When you book, let them know it's for your wedding.

• Hair colour and cut: 1–2 weeks before the wedding
• Nails: 3–7 days before the wedding
• Facial: 2 weeks before the wedding
• Laser, injectables and other aesthetic treatments: 1–3 months before the wedding

Have These Ready the Night Before

Before bed, double-check you have everything:

• A button-up shirt or zip-up top to wear in the morning
• Your wedding gown and other dresses
• Heels
• NuBra (stick-on bra)
• Wedding rings
• Your own jewellery
• Your usual lipstick

No jewellery of your own? No problem, I'll style you with pieces I bring (your veil is usually arranged by your bridal shop, so I don't provide one).

The Morning of Your Wedding

• What to wear: A button-up shirt or zip-up top, so changing into your gown won't disturb your hair and makeup. Skip underwired bras, which can leave marks.
• Skincare: Come bare-faced! After washing your face, apply toner and a thin layer of lotion. No sunscreen, no makeup.
• Contact lenses: Put them in before we start your makeup; your usual pair is fine. If your eyes get dry easily, please bring eye drops.
• Breakfast and water: Be sure to eat breakfast so you have the energy for the day. Once your makeup is on, drink through a straw so nothing drips onto your dress.

One Last Thing

Rest well the day before and keep your spirits high. See you on your wedding day!
