Your Beach Wedding

Brides-to-be always worry about their appearance. But it seems that most women when travelling are more concerned about how they look than when they stay at home. Make no mistake, all brides want to look fabulous on their wedding days but imagine booking a destination wedding in the tropics where skimpier gowns are acceptable and daily garb may be a bathing suit or resort wear. Even a bride who is not so concerned about being perfect all of a sudden wants the best body around.

In general, the wedding planning process is stressful enough without adding to it by worrying about major weight loss, serious body changes, and new hairdos that may or may not work. Because you are travelling does not mean that you must lose weight. A few pounds would not hurt but do not overstress yourself with unrealistic goals about fitting into a bikini and tiny wedding gown. Remember that your fiancé proposed to you just the way you are so in his mind, you are perfect already.

Also, do not schedule major changes to your hair and face close to leaving for the wedding. You may be unhappy with the look and time is not available to make another change before departing. Test a new look some time in advance so that problems can be worked out and you have a chance to change your mind about the look.

The key to looking beautiful at your destination wedding is to highlight your assets. Take note of the features that you enjoy. For example, if you have large hips but a small waist, emphasize the waist line. Indeed, your time will be better spent focusing on the “real you” rather than stressing yourself out about making a “new you”.
