It is easy to understand why all brides want to look their absolute best on their wedding day, and so they will go all out to ensure that when they visit a bridal store, the wedding dress they choose and all that goes with it, such as their shoes, accessories and personalised pyjamas, are perfect.
As well as what she wears, it is also a bride’s dearest wish that her personal beauty comes to the fore on her wedding day and specifically her skin, hair, eyes and even her teeth given that on her wedding day she is guaranteed to smile on hundreds of occasions. What will make all of that more possible is if she is healthy in mind and body.
Thankfully, there are several steps a bride can take to ensure that they are in optimal health on their wedding day and that anyone who sees her is bowled over by her beauty. Read on, and you will discover what those steps are, and when they should be taken.
Wedding Day Minus 12 months
Time to start thinking and feeling healthy, even if you know you have some work to do. Our first piece of advice is to focus on your mental health first, and your physical health will be a lot easier to manage. That means doing all you can to avoid getting too stressed at this point, as you still have a full 12 months to get to where you wish to be.
Start by getting into some healthy habits such as weekly yoga sessions, learning how to meditate daily, and also assessing your diet to see where you could make some improvements towards healthier eating.
Wedding Day Minus 6 Months
It is at this point where your focus should be on your skin, and the reason for that is many skin treatments can take several months to have their optimal effect. You may opt to visit a dermatologist or skin specialist for them to assess your skin so that they might establish an appropriate skincare plan for you. Possible treatments include monthly facials, as well as following your personal daily skin care routine using hyaluronic acid and vitamins.
At 6 months you also want to start your journey towards perfectly healthy hair for your wedding day by arranging for monthly hair treatments. You should also start gathering ideas for how you wish your hair to look on your wedding day.
Wedding Day Minus 3 Months
Now it is time to truly get your diet fully optimised, as well taking steps to detox your body. This means cutting down on alcohol and foods that you know do your figure and weight no good. Great ways to help with this are to start drinking green smoothies, increase your intake of fruit and vegetables, and ensure you stay well-hydrated by drinking lots of water, which has the bonus effect of making you feel less hungry.
For your skin, you may increase the frequency of visits to your skin specialist who may at this stage recommend exfoliant treatment or microdermabrasion in each of the next three months. This is also when you should ensure your dental health is good, and possibly arrange for teeth whitening if you are concerned about your smile. Finally, use these next three months to test and trial how you want your hair and your makeup to be on your wedding day.

First, a precaution. This is not the time to start trying out new skin treatments or make-up you have never used before. The last thing you want is a skin reaction in the days leading up to your wedding day. All you need do is book a final session for facial hydrating.
By now you should also know how your hair is going to be styled, and your teeth should be as white as they have ever been. Finally, make a point of having daily meditation or relaxation sessions to ensure that your mind is as healthy as your body each day including your wedding day.
