Look fabulous on your wedding day
Follow the Confetti East guide to looking stunning on your big day...
Exercise regularly
Get yourself into a set routine, whether it is yoga, walking or going to the gym. Joining a class or working with a gym instructor will help you keep motivated and structured.
Sleep early
A regular sleep pattern is important to looking great – it is one of the secrets of top models. Lack of sleep will leave dark circles under your eyes and make your face puffy.
Diet sense
Don’t try any drastic diets as this could wreak havoc on your skin. Eat sensibly with a lot more of salads, fruits and nuts, while cutting down on fats and carbohydrates. It will help you to look glowing on your day without starving yourself. Losing weight shouldn’t mean looking pale and weak.
Avoid late night snacks & dinners
Heavy food eaten late in the evening leads to a sluggish digestive system, which means feeling bloated. You need to leave a gap of a minimum of 4 hours from your evening meal to the time you go to sleep.
No cigarettes, alcohol or stimulants
No matter how tempting it is to reach for a stimulant when wedding planning gets stressful, you need to remind yourself that you want to look your best, and resist it.
Positive thinking
Your state of mind reflects on your face and your health. Feeling good on the inside is an essential step to looking great on the outside.
Drink water
Water helps to hydrate your skin and also wash away a build up of toxins in the body. It is a habit that can be cultivated. Replace sugary fizzy drinks, alcohol, tea and coffee with nature’s best drink – water.
Detox
Processed foods, ready meals and fast foods will need to be replaced with fresh meals cooked on the day. Make it a pleasurable experience by planning in advance. Eat lots of fresh fruits and yoghurts, home-made smoothies and fresh juices. Green tea (without milk or sugar) is great for removing free radicals from the body.
