Bride-to-Be? Here’s What You Should Start Doing Right Now

So, you said yes! Congrats, bride-to-be! Let it sink in and start preparing for your big day ASAP. Now is the time to bring your dream Pinterest boards to life, babe. Get your girlies and get on with it.

Start Hitting the Gym NOW!

Now that the date is set and the wedding is around the corner, it’s about time you lock in. It’s time to burn those calories before you regret it later. For most girls, it’s a dream to fit into their designer dresses, but what a bummer if one can’t.

Make yourself a workout routine, either through an online workout app or a gym trainer and follow it consistently. Remember that on the day of your wedding, when you look at your physique in your dream dress, it will all become worth it.

Start Your Skin Care

Glow-ups don’t happen overnight, so get on your skincare game.

Start a simple routine with a cleanser, moisturiser and SPF. Go easy on the ten-step K-beauty hauls. Instead, start with the basics: Drink water like it’s your side hustle and please, PLEASE don’t fall for crash diets. Your skin needs to be healthy inside and out, and not starved.

If you really want to feel your best, maybe swap that daily cola for coconut water. Flawless bridal makeup starts with flawless skin.

Go Visit a Dermatologist for Pre-Wedding Treatments

I have seen a lot of people underestimate this step. People often go to parlours for treatments, but what they don’t understand is that certain pre-wedding treatments should always be handled by a dermatologist. ONLY BY A CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGIST.

If you’ve got acne scars, pigmentation, texture, or even just dullness, please schedule yourself with a good dermatologist. They’ll recommend treatments like hydra facials, chemical peels, micro-needling, micro-dermabrasion, PRP treatments or glow-boosting therapies that actually work.

The earlier you start, the better your skin will be by the time the makeup artists get to work.

Get Laser Done While You are at It

Waxing during wedding week? We don’t know her!

If you’ve been considering laser hair removal, start your session a good 6 months ago. The earlier you start, the smoother and stress-free you’ll be on your big day.

Bonus? You won’t need to worry about those last-minute salon runs during your honeymoon either.

Bookmark Your Vendors Before Everyone Else Does

Makeup artists, photographers, decorators, and henna artists; they book out months in advance. If you’ve been saving possible vendors and decorators on Instagram, DM them now and book them before it becomes a last-minute struggle.

Don’t wait till dates clash or your favourites will be fully booked. You don’t want to settle for second-best when it comes to your once-in-a-lifetime day.

Start Building Your Bridal Trousseau

Your bridal trousseau is more than just clothes. Bulk up on comfy yet stylish outfits for post-wedding dinners, soft loungewear, dupattas, jewellery basics, sandals and even a good steamer.

Don’t blow your budget on a dozen heavy formals you’ll never wear again. Instead, invest in clothes that you wear day-to-day, because you just can’t wear heavy formal clothes all your wedded life.

Start early, stay consistent, and remember: This isn’t about being perfect, it’s about feeling like your best self when all eyes are on you. You’ve got this!
