7 Important Things Brides Must Check Before Leaving The Parlour On Their Wedding Day

It takes weeks, and sometimes even months, of planning for a bride to ensure the perfect wedding day look. As a bride-to-be, you prepare well in advance to make sure that you have everyone and everything around you on that day, to make you look stunningly gorgeous. However, there are many small things that you might not even have thought of, but they can mess up everything at the last moment despite your intense preparations.

So, if you want to look nothing less than perfect on your wedding day, make sure you keep in mind this ‘last-moment’ checklist.

#1. Be on time

The one thing to ensure that everything on your wedding day falls in place is, being on time. Anchal Verma, who got married last week, says, “I reached two hours late at the parlour. I got really tensed about getting ready and reaching the venue on time. That messed up everything as it pressurised my makeup artists and I even started crying. So, my advice is to avoid such delays and reach the parlour on appointed time. Just relax and let the makeup artists do their work.” 

The idea here is that when everything will be done as per the plan, there will be no signs of worry on your face. So, be on time and simply relieve your mind of all the worries and nervousness.

#2. Use the washroom beforehand

Weddings are long and all eyes are always on the bride. Once the bride enters the wedding venue, it becomes really difficult for her to leave the stage, even for a few minutes. So, you should go to the washroom before you leave the parlour. Besides, the heavy wedding attire makes it all the more unmanageable as well as uncomfortable to use the washroom. Annalia Zhimomi, a freelance makeup artist says, “It is just a pain to use the washroom in a grand outfit. Hence, the bride should go to the washroom once before she starts getting ready.”

#3. Dress up comfortably

“Check your neckline, can-can, and dupatta before leaving the parlour. Just make sure you are absolutely comfortable in your outfit,” advises Suman Joshi, stylist at the Naturals salon. Annalia also gives a suggestion based on her experience and says, “Make sure that the lehenga is tied tight enough and there is sufficient dupatta fabric from your head to shoulder. Also, do not forget to fluff the can-can to ensure that it is fully flared.” The slightly loose dupatta would allow you to move your head in all directions with ease.

#4. Check all the details of your makeup

It is important to check each and every small detail of your makeup before you leave the parlour. When everything will done perfectly, you will have no worries in your mind. And hence, this what Annalia says, “Apply final makeup and seal it with a makeup spray. Make sure fake lashes are intact. Check that your lipstick has not been smudged after wearing the nath. Also, check that the lipstick has not stained your teeth. Lastly, remember to apply the perfume.” 

Well, having said that, you must also keep in mind that no amount of makeup can make you look beautiful unless you feel confident about yourself. “So, ensure that you are happy with your look. Discuss with your makeup artist what type of look you want, and suggest alterations till the time you are happy with it," advises Ishika Taneja, beauty expert and executive director, Alps Beauty Clinic.

#5. Reality check

It is your big day and there should not be even a slightest mistake in your makeup to spoil your look. While you would look at the mirror to check how you look once the makeup is completed, but it still can be deceptive. You might not get the exact idea of how your makeup is looking, amid the light setup at your parlour. In ordet to avoid this issue, here is what Annalia suggest, “Once you are ready, get your photo clicked with and without flash, and see how your picture is coming out. This will give you a fair idea about your look and will also let you know if anything needs to be changed.”

#6. Don’t go hungry

As you would have to wait for quite some time to have dinner, make sure that you do not reach the venue without eating anything. So, keep a few handy snacks with you and eat them before the makeup is applied on your face. Also, drink some juice to keep yourself hydrated as well as energised. But, make sure that the liquid intake is not too much so as to avoid going to the washroom once you are ready.

Lastly, do not forget to put some beauty essentials like lip gloss, blush, hairbursh, etc., in a small bag. Also, keep a painkiller, vaseline and wet tissues, as you might need them anytime during the wedding. Finally, hand over this emergency kit to your sister or best friend before leaving for the venue.
