Focus on Your Skin Days Before Your Wedding is what Bridal Hair and Makeup experts recommend!


Your skin is the canvas for your bridal look, so taking care of it in the days leading up to the wedding is essential. A good skincare routine should start at least a week before your Franklin or Nashville Wedding. Hydrate and nourish your skin by:


  • Drinking plenty of water

  • Incorporating a vitamin-rich diet

  • Using a gentle exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin cells


You want your skin to be radiant and fresh. This means avoiding harsh treatments or new products that could cause irritation. The more time you give your skin to adapt to changes, the better! See my fav skincare recommendations here!

Choose a Trusted Expert for Your Bridal Look


Choosing the right beauty artist for your special day can make all the difference in how confident and beautiful you feel. At Pink Mantis Beauty, we understand your vision and specialize in personalizing looks that highlight your best features.


Look for a professional who can:


  • Create a custom look based on your preferences

  • Offer suggestions while respecting your wishes

  • Share their portfolio of previous work


Always verify reviews and testimonials from other brides. This can provide insight into their professionalism, creativity, and ability to deliver stunning results.

Schedule a Trial Run for Peace of Mind


Scheduling a trial run is crucial for making sure your hair and makeup are picture-perfect. It's your chance to collaborate with your makeup artist and hairstylist, trying different styles and colors that reflect your personality. During the trial, don’t hesitate to:


  • Bring reference pictures of looks you love

  • Discuss any concerns or questions about products

  • Try different hairstyles to find what feels best


This allows for adjustments that will enhance your natural beauty. Fabulous results are about understanding your vision and translating it into reality.

Keep Your Beauty Routine Simple


The key to looking stunning without added stress on your wedding day is to keep your beauty routine simple. Avoid testing new products or techniques at the last minute. Instead, focus on what you know works for you. Here are some tips:


  • Stick to your regular skincare and makeup routine

  • Avoid trying new products just days before your wedding

  • Focus on a few standout features rather than overdoing it


The goal is to highlight your natural beauty without feeling overwhelmed. Simplicity can enhance elegance.


Confirm Your Glam Squad's Arrival Time


When it comes to beauty on your big day, timing is everything. Confirm your glam squad’s arrival time well in advance to avoid unnecessary last-minute panic. An early arrival allows for:


  • Extra time for adjustments

  • A chance to address any unexpected hiccups

  • An opportunity to relax before you slip into your wedding outfit


Always overestimate the time needed to avoid being rushed. Remember, a calm bride is a beautiful bride!


Prep Your Skin the Night Before


The night before the wedding, prepping your skin can elevate your bridal glow. Follow this simple routine to ensure you're ready:


  • Gently exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells

  • Apply a hydrating mask to enhance softness

  • Get a good night’s sleep for a fresh look


Applying these easy steps can result in noticeably improved skin on your wedding day. Remember, beauty sleep is a real thing!


Have Your Outfit Ready


Avoiding last-minute wardrobe malfunctions can significantly reduce your stress levels. Ensure your bridal gown is ready to go by:


  • Steaming it to eliminate wrinkles

  • Double-checking all accessories

  • Making sure everything fits properly


Your outfit is a critical part of the overall look, and being prepared will help you focus on your beauty routine.


Pack Touch-Up Essentials


As the day unfolds, having a beauty touch-up kit can be a lifesaver. Your kit should include:


  • Lipstick for touch-ups

  • Blotting papers to manage shine

  • Award winning hairspray for any flyaway hairs

With these essentials, you can maintain your flawless look without worrying about makeup mishaps throughout the event.


Stay Fueled and Hydrated


Remember to keep your energy up! Hydrate and snack to ensure you're feeling your best during the day. Choose light, healthy options and keep them on hand. Sugary snacks can give you a quick boost but often lead to a crash later, so opt for nutritious options instead.


Communicate Your Dream Look Clearly


Communication with your beauty artists is crucial for achieving your desired look. Be crystal clear about what you envision, and if possible, bring along reference pictures (see my portfolio of previous looks!). This helps avoid misunderstandings and sets everyone on the same page. Don’t forget to express any concerns, as professionals appreciate your input and want to create the best look for you.


Trust Your Professionals


Finally, it’s time to relax and trust your beauty professionals at Pink Mantis Beauty. You’ve chosen experts who understand your needs and have the experience to handle all the details. Let go of any wedding day nerves, knowing that you are in capable hands.
