When you’re looking forward to your wedding day, you’re sure to have plenty of things on your mind – from the ceremony itself to the honeymoon.

There’s a good chance that while a big fluffy white dress is the one you’ve been dreaming of, a simple white sheath actually complements your body type better.

Taking a camera with you when you go shopping is a great way to get a realistic idea of how you look in the dress and will provide you with a prompt to remind you what you did and didn’t like about each dress when you’re away from the shops.
Your make up will be another important factor when you’re walking down the aisle and posing for wedding photos, so don’t leave any of it up to chance, If you or a family member are planning to do your make up yourself, buy all of the products you’re going to use well in advance so you can get used to them and have plenty of practise applying them. The last thing you want is to choose an eye shadow that bleeds or lipstick that won’t last until the champagne. Similarly, if you’ve someone coming in to do your make up, make sure you have a t least one practise run before the big day.

What’s more, they don’t take long to add.
