Bridal tips
• When you're having your hair styled on your wedding day, wear a shirt. Many brides wear a t-shirt then struggle to get it over their new hair-do. If you wear a shirt it can be unbuttoned and will not damage your new style.
• If you have a dress that goes over your head, get a pillow case or a silk underskirt to put over your head first-your dress will slide on more easily with damaging hair or getting any make-up on it.
• Remove labels on the underside of shoes – this is a very fiddly and time-consuming job that is best sorted in advance of your wedding day.
• If your dress has laces or buttons, ask a friend to come and help you dress. Often a bridesmaid or family member will be there for bridal preparations, but it is likely that they may also have false nails for the occasion. If you have a friend present who isn’t in the bridal party they will be able to help the bride to get dressed.
• Dress the bride first. Lots of people dress the bride last so everyone is ready to help, but if plans start to run behind it will be the bride who is in a rush to get dressed. If you dress the bride first she can get ready at her own pace, feel relaxed and have time to make any adjustments to her dress for maximum comfort. It is not the bride’s job to dress the bridesmaids or any children – make sure you have plenty of helpers to do this so that she can enjoy her wedding day.
