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.
Magazine Photographs
When selecting your favorite hairstyling photographs from magazines consider why you like the photograph. Too often brides bring in the most beautiful photographs not realizing what it took to produce that image. Be realistic. Just because a hairstyle looks great on your favorite celebrity, doesn't mean it is the best choice for you. Most people do not realize what goes into most fashion magazine and editorial photo shoots. Most likely there was a team of at least 5 people, including the makeup artist, hairstylist, prop person, fashions stylist, manicurist, and assistants behind the scenes, not to mention the amount of retouching that was done in post production! That being said - please consider magazine photos as a guide and inspiration while keeping your options flexible. You will be much happier in the end, I promise!
