Most brides want to look their very best on their wedding day. Looking your best typically doesn’t happen overnight so you should allow yourself ample time and commit to making the effort. Here a few recommendations for looking your very best on your wedding day.

1. Weight loss is the #1 change most brides (and even some grooms) want to make for their wedding day. Since “you are what you eat”, work on improving your nutrition. Don’t expect to make this transformation overnight however. Sustainable weight loss must be done properly, which takes time and commitment. Improving your nutrition will also help the condition of your skin, nails and teeth.
   

2. Another big step in transforming your look and how you feel is with exercise. Consider joining a gym or hiring a personal trainer to prescribe an exercise program that suits your needs and targets your problem areas.

3. The benefits of regular exercise extend beyond improving your fitness and appearance for your wedding day. Life can feel like a pressure cooker in the weeks and months leading up to your big day, and exercise is a terrific stress-reliever!
   

3. Pamper yourself. Visit a spa for a manicure, pedicure, facial or exfoliating wrap and improve the condition of your skin and nails. Consider a bridal shower with a beauty theme or, as a gift to your bridesmaids, spend the day prior to your wedding at the spa to relax and rejuvenate for the big day.

4. Consider visiting your hair stylist well before your big day to practice hair-do’s for your wedding, and start getting your hair in better shape with deep conditioners. Also remember: nutrition affects your hair a great deal.
   

5. In the days before your event, be sure to avoid processed foods and salt to prevent bloating and water retention.
   

These are just a few key points to help look your best on your wedding day. Remember before starting any diet or exercise program, you should consult your family physician.
