Answers to Brides common Questions…
Is it common to remove the veil after the ceremony? I think I want to keep it on for the reception.
Don’t rush to remove your veil. A veil is that one element that transforms you from a woman in a white dress into a Bride. There is no written rule that the veil has to come off, in fact most Brides prefer the photographs of them wearing the veil when choosing pictures for print.
Is it true I dont wash my hair before the wedding?
Dirty hair is the secret to a long-wearing updo. This gives hair some grip so your style will stay in place all night!
I had my makeup done before but it seemes like a lot of makeup, I dont wear alot of makeup on a day to day basis.
Do a trial run for your Makeup, even if you don’t hire a pro. Makeup for flash photography is different than daily makeup application. It may look too dark at first glance, but after wearing it for a while, and having a friend take some photos with a flash you can see how your best features stand out in a photograph.
I cant decide if I want my hair to be in an elaborate Updo, or more natural.
Don’t stray too far from the real you. Experiment with different hairstyles, but then choose the one you are most comfortable with, the one that is most you. You don’t want to look back at photos of your special day and wonder “who is that?”
What about touching up my lip color after the Ceremony, before pictures with me and my husband or after eating?
Make sure your touch-up kit has all the right colors. I like for my Brides to bring their favorite Lip Liner and Color. You don’t want to realize later on during your wedding that you don’t have the right color for touch ups.
I have never had my eyebrows waxed, do you suggest this before my wedding?
Get your brows groomed by a professional. It makes such a difference in photos to have perfect brows!
