Hair Stylist Submitted by: Cheryl Gabiola Galvez, Editor of Bliss! As with a makeup consultant, you want to be sure you find a professional hair stylist a few months prior to your big day. Most hair salons offer a free consultation while offering advice on what hairdo works best with your face structure as well as your type of wedding dress. You may even want to pay for a complete hair style in the way you plan on having it for your wedding day. This will ensure that you will not be surprised at the very last minute.

Hair Spray Submitted by: Cheryl Gabiola Galvez, Editor of Bliss! To make sure you look your very best throughout the day and well into the night, consider carrying a trial size bottle of hair spray. A little spritz here and there will keep you looking fantastic!

Bring Your Veil Submitted by: Cheryl Gabiola Galvez, Editor of Bliss! On the day of your wedding, make sure you bring along your wedding veil to the hair salon.

There may be a price differential but the difference in price may not be too much of a burden considering the time and effort you'll save.

All Together Now Submitted by: Cheryl Gabiola Galvez, Editor of Bliss! Consider having the same hair salon work on you as well as your entire bridal party. Having your female attendants there will not only give you the support you'll need in the few hours before you walk down the aisle but provide several honest opinions.

Teeth Whitening Treatments Submitted by: Sammy of Santa Cruz Your wedding day will be filled with happy moments as well as Kodak™ ones. Consider taking a trip to the dental hygienist some time within the last few weeks. Call your dentist and ask about their whitening treatments.

Prevent Shiny Faces Submitted by: Heather of Dover, Ohio Make sure to carry powder with you. I don't know how many people I've heard complain that when they got there wedding pictures back, there faces were shiny. So, carry some pressed powder with you for those Kodak moments. Also for eyes, a good pick me up is white eyeliner on the bottom rim of your eye. It's an old model's trick that opens the eyes up more.

Preventing Puffy Fingers Submitted by: Alison of Chicago, Illinois, USA If your fingers tend to get a little puffy when you're nervous or it's humid, then right before you get out of the limo, before the ceremony, rub a little petroleum jelly or clear lip balm onto the knuckle of your ring finger. This will ensure that your groom can slide the ring right onto your finger without a hassle! Just be careful not to touch your dress.

Talk To Your Stylist About Possible Discounts Submitted by: Stephanie of San Antonio, Texas, USA I may be the lucky bride-in-a-million but there's a chance you can be just as lucky. I've been going to the same hair stylist for several years and he offered to do my hair for the bridal portraits and wedding day FREE when I told him I wanted him to do my entire bridal party. He's not only doing my hair free, he's giving me a discount on the rest of the girls. Talk to your stylist, if he's your regular stylist, to see if you can get a deal like this. It will not only be a great suprise for your attendants, but I think it will be fun too!
