1. Makeup is so important! Properly applied light to medium coverage tends to look better in photos. Less is more. You want your face to show, not the makeup. Eyelash extensions are fab!
2. Consider wearing your hair down. Up-do's are great, but wearing your hair down is a softer, more romantic look. Up-do's are a more dramatic, elegant look. Think about what frames your face best.
3. Don't bother to tan. Or if you must, tan very little. Natural complexions photograph better. Tans tend to make your face look dark, which probably isn't your usual look. Models don't tan for two reasons-- your face looks better with natural pigment and tanning ages your skin. Also, you often end up with tan lines from the swimsuit or sunglasses or both. And if your dress is strapless and/or backless, swimsuit lines aren't flattering.
4. Don't forget about your eyebrows! Very important for close-ups! Go have your eyebrows waxed or threaded 10 to 14 days prior to the wedding. Good to do a trial run 2 months prior to the wedding, to test out your salon or spa. And don't forget the groom-- their eyebrows need love too!
5. If you and/or the groom wear glasses, consider getting anti-reflective lenses. Natural light and a camera's flash can cause glare on regular glasses. A wedding is fast paced, and the photographer can't avoid glare in every shot. Plus, on the formals, poses and angles will be limited if glare is an issue. Another benefit of anti-reflective lenses is that you have better vision, especially for night driving.
6. Photographs of your hands and rings is a wedding tradition. Brides usually get a manicure and pedicure. Good idea for the groom to have a manicure and pedicure too. Shots of the bride and groom barefoot are so romantic, but only with pretty feet!
