Things to Do During Your Wedding Week –The Beauty Prep Edition
Your dream day is almost here, and now it’s time to focus on you. From glowing skin to polished hair, the key to effortless bridal beauty is thoughtful timing. We’ve mapped out the ultimate beauty prep guide to help you feel confident, radiant, and fully ready for your walk down the aisle.
1. Refresh Your Hair Color & Extensions (2 Weeks Before)
Book your final hair color appointment around 10–14 days before your wedding. Whether you're enhancing your blonde, glossing your brunette, or adding soft dimension, this gives your color time to settle and look its best.
Wearing extensions? Be sure to schedule a move-up or reinstallation during this same window. You want everything secure and seamless for styling—and for your photos.
2. Book a Dermaplane Facial for That Bridal Glow
A favorite among brides (and makeup artists), dermaplaning gently removes peach fuzz and dull skin to reveal a smooth, radiant canvas. It’s the secret to that “lit-from-within” glow and helps your makeup apply like silk.
We recommend scheduling this treatment 4–5 days before the wedding to allow your skin to calm and shine naturally—without risk of irritation.
3. Shape Your Brows to Frame Your Face
Well-groomed brows make all the difference in how your eyes and face are framed. Whether you prefer waxing, threading, or tweezing, aim to shape your brows 5–7 days before your big day. This allows any redness to fade while keeping your shape looking fresh.
If you're planning on tinting or laminating, this is also the perfect time to enhance your brows for a soft, defined finish.
4. Glow Up with a Spray Tan (1–2 Days Before)
A professional spray tan can give your skin that radiant, sun-kissed finish—perfect for photos and the honeymoon ahead. Schedule your appointment 1–2 days before the wedding and make sure to:
- Exfoliate 24 hours prior
- Avoid lotion, deodorant, or perfume the day of
- Choose a trusted artist experienced in bridal tanning for a natural, even application
The goal: a soft glow, not a dramatic change.
5. Final Beauty Details: Lashes, Nails & Lips
The little details pull everything together. Here's what to schedule and when:
- Lashes: For lifts or extensions, book 3–5 days prior so they’re full, soft, and settled.
- Nails: A manicure and pedicure 1–2 days before will ensure polish is fresh and photo-ready.
- Lips: Use a hydrating balm or lip mask daily leading up to your wedding. Smooth, moisturized lips make all the difference in both comfort and kissability.
6. Hydrate, Rest, and Let It All Sink In
Beauty prep isn’t just about treatments and timelines—it’s about how you feel. Drink lots of water, get consistent sleep, and take a few deep breaths along the way. You've done the planning, your team is in place, and now it's your time to enjoy.
We’ll see you on wedding day—glowing from the inside out.
