 Beauty Tips
This is one of the most important days of your life. You will want to look and feel your best.
 
Hairstyles
If you decide to change your hairstyle before your wedding, do it about six months before. This will allow you time to grow it out or straighten it out before the big day.

After you choose the style you want, go to your stylist and try it out at least two months ahead of time. If you are happy with the way the stylist did your hair, set up an appointment on your wedding day. Make sure you leave yourself enough time to get your hair washed, set and styled. Leave yourself plenty of time to relax!
 
Makeup
You may decide to do your own make-up on your wedding day or have a professional do it. If you decide to do it on your own, do not experiment on your wedding day. A few weeks before, go to the cosmetic counter at the department store for a free make-up session. Purchase the colors that look best on you and try them at home. Your make-up should be a little heavier than usual for the photographs.
 
If you go to a professional cosmetologist, make sure you have a session ahead of time. Be sure to feel comfortable with how you look after the make-up is applied during the trial run because this is how you'll look on your wedding day. You don't want to have any last minute changes the day of your wedding. You want to still look like yourself!

Nails
Pamper yourself and get a manicure! This can be relaxing. You want your nails to look their best (especially for those close-up photographs!). Consider a pedicure, its a nice way to sit back and relax before the festivities begin.
 
Getting in Shape
The thought of squeezing into a pair of spandex shorts is enough to drive anyone's motivation down! However, you have to remember that this your big day. So, girls, it's time to get motivated!

 Wedding Cakes
If a parent gets remarried after a divorce or the death of their spouse and they have children, they may decide to have a Family Medallion Ceremony. After the couple exchanges wedding rings, their children join them at the altar. The bride and groom then place a medal around the neck of each child and pledge their love to the children. This allows the children to feel special and part of the new family.
 
The Family Medallion symbol includes three equally merged circles: two circles represent the marriage union; the third symbolizes the importance of children within the family.

 Frequently Asked Question
Q: I'm trying to plan my menu for my reception, the problem I'm having is that I have several guests who are very picky eaters, a vegetarian and another guest who has food allergies. It's frustrating because I can't please everyone. What should I do?
A: When it comes to planning your menu, you're right, you can't please everyone. Your best bet is to choose one basic meat entr� and perhaps one plate without meat. Then let your guests choose which dish he/she would prefer between the two. Another option would be to have a buffet. Your guests will be able to select from a variety of foods. Whatever you choose to do, don't worry, your guests will understand that you can't please everyone when it comes to dinner.
