Updated: May 8, 2023

Weddings are one of the most important events in a person's life. It is a day when you want to look your best and feel confident. However, with so much going on, it can be stressful, and that can take a toll on your skin, hair, and overall appearance. Here are some tips to help you look and feel your best on your big day.

What are the beauty tips for brides?

  1. Start with a good skincare routine: In the months leading up to your wedding, make sure you have a good skincare routine in place. Cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin daily, and use a face mask once or twice a week. This will help keep your skin healthy and glowing. Contact us at The Sanctuary and we can get your skin glowing in time for your wedding

  2. Schedule a makeup trial: Book a makeup trial with your makeup artist to try out different looks and find the one that suits you the best. This will give you an idea of what your makeup will look like on the day of the wedding.

  3. Don't forget your lips: Make sure your lips are well-hydrated and exfoliated before the wedding. Use a lip balm and a lip scrub regularly to keep them soft and smooth.

How can I look flawless on my wedding day?

  1. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can cause dark circles, puffiness, and dull skin. Make sure you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night in the week leading up to your wedding.

  2. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you. This will help keep your skin plump and glowing.

  3. Use a primer: A good primer will help your makeup stay in place all day and prevent it from creasing or smudging.

  4. Touch up throughout the day: Keep a touch-up kit handy with blotting papers, powder, lipstick, and a small mirror. This will help you touch up your makeup and stay looking fresh all day.

  3. Get a facial: Book a facial with us here at The Sanctuary and we can help remove any dead skin cells and give your skin a fresh, healthy glow for the big day.

Top tips to stay relaxed in the run-up to your wedding day


The days leading up to your wedding can be stressful, with last-minute preparations, family dynamics, and nerves all taking their toll. Here are some top tips to help you stay relaxed in the run-up to your wedding day:

  1. Practice self-care: Take some time out for yourself and engage in activities that make you feel relaxed and happy. This could be anything from yoga, meditation, or reading a book, to taking a relaxing bath or going for a walk in nature.

  2. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can cause stress, anxiety, and tired-looking skin. Make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep each night to feel refreshed and energized.

  3. Delegate tasks: Don't try to do everything yourself. Delegate tasks to friends and family to take some of the pressure off you. This could be anything from arranging the flowers, to running errands or making phone calls.

  4. Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness is a great way to stay calm and centered in the midst of chaos. Try some simple breathing exercises or guided meditations to help you stay present and focused on the moment.

  5. Don't sweat the small stuff: Remember that perfection is not always possible, and it's okay if things don't go exactly as planned. Focus on the big picture and enjoy the journey rather than worrying about the details.
