The last week before the wedding is almost here and time goes by so quick that my big day is already round the corner. All the brides know that getting things organized in this short period can be very stressful and irksome. There are aĀ few things you should be aware before you plunge yourself into work. Even if youĀ have booked your make-up and if you know how your hair is going to look like, there are still some beauty things and rulesĀ you should keep in mind. Doās and Donāts, things you shouldnāt try the last week before your wedding- Let’s check the list!
1.Ā The Color Thing

Donāt: Even if you got your perfect hairstylist and you know his professional skills at itās best, avoid things like drastic changes to your hair. That would be everything from extreme colors to bleached hair. Donāt try new haircolors that you never tried before the last week before your wedding. It takes some time to get used to it and believe me- one weekās too short for that!
Do: You can go for soft hues like the hair-color you already have or you go for things like a refreshing color that highlights your own hairs.
The day before my wedding Iām not going to use any specific styling products, because itās easier for the hairstylist to get your hair done the next day.
2. Drastic Haircuts
Donāt:Ā One of the big things toĀ avoid-chopping your hair too much. This means changing your hairstyle from long to short like a bob. You have chosen your dress and accessories and the haircut should correspond to your bridal look.
Do: Go for a quick trim- get your hair-ends cut and get your bangs trimmed. Everything that is needed to pimp your hairstyle is allowed as long as itās not a huge change. Last but not least: Be sure to fix your appointment a few weeks before youāre wedding if you donāt want to be stressed out.
3. Alcohol
This is a huge topic for people who decided to get in shape for the bridal dress and depends on what you decided. We are told that Alcohol has a lot of calories and that you could eat much more instead of a cosmopolitan. There are different views about alcohol but thereās one thing you should be aware.
Donāt: Avoid Alcohol the day before your big day. Your face might look swollen and dark circles will appear stronger. Of course there are differences and everyoneās reacting different to it, but because of my experience as make-up artist I can recommend to stay on the safe side. Your big day is only one night away so keep up and drinks will await you ;)
4. A New Workout
In my last posts I brought up the topic sports and some of the workouts that Iām still doing. Sports means a lot to me and became a big thing since I started to workout more intense for the wedding. I stick to it for 10 weeks and didnāt change anything in my workout routine. I know it can be really hard when youāre motivated on getting in shape for your beautiful dress but keep calm and concentrate on the little things. Decide on schedule what workout you are going to plan for the next months (yes month because workouts in a few days arenāt that much effective) and stick to it. If you donāt want to spend to much money on diets and workouts grab your girls and go for a run- Chattingās allowed as long as youāre able to speak while running :P
5. Spray Tan Booths
Spray tanning is something I donāt know much about and that I tried myself two month ago. Iāve always been the girl who went tanning to a studio but since I decided for the healthy lifestyle I didnāt want to risk to much and tried spray tanning. The tan didnāt stay long (on my skin for 8 days) but it was flawless and evenly because I got it done by a professional.
Donāt: Avoid self experiments so close to your wedding. If youāve never tried before donāt buy selftanning products and get it done by a professional. The will match the color perfectly to your skin and you wonāt risk to get a different tan.
6. Peelings & Beautician
Beauticians are great if you need a reset button for your skin and if youāre looking for a cleansing from ground up. From time to time I make an appointment with my beautician but this time they couldnāt offer me free oneās. I decided to do my face cleansing routine on my own, cause it was to close to my big day.
Donāt: Avoid beauticians one week before your wedding. Even if you would like to remove blackheads your face will become swollen for sure and it will look irritated. A peel or microdermabrasion session promises silky-smooth skin in the future, but it’s a total no-go the week before you wedding. Be sure to make an appointment as soon as possible.
7. All-Night Upā¦

Finally the beauty things aren’t the only one’s you should avoid. If you have been up all night the last days before youāre wedding you should definitely go to bed and get some sleep! Itās not just about getting enough sleep itās also very important for receiving a great skin base on the day after. Sleep deprivation can also affect your immune system- No Bride wants to have a cold on her wedding day.
7 Things…
If you follow these steps or avoid some of them, you will calm down and get more relaxed before your wedding. Weddings are stressful, but when youāre bodyās screaming for help you should follow. Try to relax and to enjoy your big day- I know itās easy to say, but Iām a bride too ;)
