Hi all,

Welcome to my blog. Here are some tips that I have come across over the last few months. I hope you can use them and they help you enjoy your day that little bit more.

• Always get your feet measured before buying your wedding shoes. Your feet have changed since the age of 6!
• Always buy new shoes in the afternoon or early evening when your feet are at their largest. Feet swell during the day.
• Cover new shoes with cut off tights, wear them everyday for 15/30 mins to break them in at least a month before the wedding.
• Before the photo shake out your hands, gently place them on your hip or bouquet so that they look beautiful, not like a claw!
• In photos, stand at an angle with one foot slightly in front of the other. If feet are together you will look flat and wide.
• Perfection doesn’t exist so stop striving for the perfect wedding. Celebrate, have fun, eat, laugh and enjoy the ride!.
• Wearing a veil makes you feel different and requires a bit of practice. So put one on and practice now. It will pay off!
• Clean, shaped eyebrows open the eyes and create a wider eye they look better in the photos and you look rested and relaxed.
• Choose a creamy white dress so that it doesn’t create glare when photographed and it’s kinder to the skin tone.
• Don’t follow make up trends for your bridal make up. Stick to a classic look and your photos will be timeless.
• In photos don’t keep both arms entirely straight, bend one or both to create space between the arm and body.
• In photos rest most of your weight on one foot or the other. This looks less posey and gives a slight slimming effect.
• Focus on what you want to happen on your wedding day, not what you don’t want to happen. You get what you wish for.
• When walking up the aisle please, please, please look up at your guests and your fiancé. Smile and they will smile back at you.

Warmest regards,
