Beauty Tips

The Perfect Dress
Never buy your dress a size smaller. Brides usually try to lose weight but most do not. We want you comfortable and beautiful for this wonderful occasion, not feeling stuffed into your dress as the feeling slowly fades from your arms.

If you are wearing open-toed shoes under your dress, get yourself a pedicure! Not only are they very relaxing, but your toes will look so pretty. Try to match your nail color or use a pale pink shade.

Have your dress dry-cleaned at least a week before the wedding. Then hang it where it will not be crushed and do not touch it again until your wedding day. This prevents accidental smudges and last-minute hysteric dashes to the cleaners.

Use a respectable dry cleaner for your dress. If you do not know a shop that specializes in wedding dresses, call the bridal boutique where you purchased your dress or ask a bridal consultant.

Whatever you wear under your wedding dress, make sure it is comfortable. You may be wearing it for a few hours.

Stop fiddling with your dress, jewelry, gloves, hair, anything! You are as perfect as an angel and constantly playing will not make you any more beautiful.
