The Knot's Top Bridal Beauty Don'ts


I came across this article on The Knot the other day on the Top 13 Bridal Beauty Don’ts.  While most of them are quite simple to avoid, many brides don’t even think of a lot of these. Below are some of the ones that stood out, but you can check out the full article on TheKnot.com.

Don't drink wine or eat dark-colored foods like berries.
Unless you want to capture a stained smile in your wedding photos, you should avoid foods that can tint your pearly whites…

Don't get your first-ever bikini wax just before your wedding.
If you plan to wax your bikini line, begin the process at least three months beforehand -- or face the consequences. "Waxing that area becomes less painful each time, and you'll avoid major pain, swelling, and irritation on your wedding night," says Houston makeup artist Jen Marine.

Don't ingest excess sodium the week before the wedding.
That means no salty foods, sauces, dressings, or salty deli meats. Instead, choose low- or no-sodium everything starting at least seven days before the wedding. "Sodium holds 50 times its weight in water, so you can shed two to five pounds the week before the wedding just by doing this!" says Liz DiAlto of Fit, Healthy and Beautiful in New York City.

Don't sit around in your bra the morning of your wedding.
…this is the best way to avoid those unsightly pink indents on your back and shoulders (especially if you're wearing a strapless dress!)…
