You want your photos to be flawless. These 9 Wedding Day tips for the Beautiful Bride will help you make the process seamless and fun.

1. Relax Your Face

Close your eyes, let your lips fall back into place and relax your face, and smile with your eyes. This is the happiest day of your life, and you want to show it in your photos.

2. Less Orange-y Makeup

Although you might feel more beautiful when bronzed, cameras tend to go a bit crazy when picking up yellows and oranges and it can be a nightmare to get the colors just right.

3. Avoid the Double Chin

Elongate your neck by moving your head forward slightly and lifting up your chin.

4. Fake Sleek Arms

Try lifting your arms out to the sides, just far enough to give the biceps and triceps breathing room, especially if you have a sleeveless wedding dress.

5. Stand Up Straight

Place shoulders back, chest forward, and pull the belly button toward your spine.

6. Laugh a Little

Laughs can be flattering in photos, even if not naturally induced. Plus, it makes it for fun photos 🙂

7. Banish Bumps

Use lotions and washes with lactic acid to help unclog pores leading up to the big day and make sure not to try anything new a few days before the big day, as you may have an allergic reaction.

8. Stop the Sweat

Keep a towel or paper towels nearby to mop up any dampness with a paper towel and dab antibacterial hand gel under your arms to squash unpleasant odors.

9. Get Your Glow On

Furthermore, If you plan to get a faux tan done before the big day, do a trial run within a few months before the wedding day to make sure you have no allergies, and be sure to try out different formulas for the months leading up to your wedding to find the one that best suits you and your skin tone. Get your faux glow two days before the big day. A salon spray tan or at-home self-tanner will look its best 24-48 hours after application. Try out different formulas for the months leading up to your wedding to find the one that best suits you and your skin tone.
