It’s your special day, but remember to not go overboard.  (Please, no tiaras!  That only works for Paris Hilton!!)

Stay classic when it comes to clothing, hair and make-up.  Some nice ideas for clothing would be a colored wrap dress to flatter most figures, or a simple tailored dress in a fun, seasonal color.

For hair and make-up you also want to stay classic.  No one wants to look back at pictures and see some crazy fashion trend gone too far.  Hair pulled up in a classic ponytail with a strand of hair around the elastic is always a sophisticated look.  Spray hair lightly and use recommended products for your hair type.

For make-up, stick with a tinted moisturizer instead of pounds of foundation and powder.  And play up either your eyes OR lips.  Do both and you’re bound to look over-done.

Avoid the “smoky” eye.  When it’s not done right it could leave you looking like the bride of frankenstein!   Instead, try a thin eyeliner and nudeneyeshadow with extra mascara (waterproof!)  And for lipstick go with something sheer and reapply as needed!

Remember:  enjoy yourself and keep things simple.  Sometimes less IS more!
