Fit & fabulous: Things to do before your D-Day

Schedule all of your outfit fittings and bring the accessories that you plan to wear from head to toe.

1. Do an outfit run-through.

Schedule all of your outfit fittings and bring the accessories that you plan to wear from head to toe. This will not only give you a better idea of your overall look, but allow your seamstress to make any necessary modifications.

2.  When it's time to pick up your dress a few days before the wedding, take the garment bag off when you get home so that it has time to settle. Place your outfit in a room that's well-ventilated and avoid cooking or smoking in your home, since odours can seep into your outfit and you don’t want that.

3.  Girls, you must let everyone see the dress in all its glory. As much as you want to show everyone your lehengas and your ghararas, resist the urge to do so. Let it be a surprise for all. It’s so heartwarming when dad’s watch their daughters all decked up on the wedding day. The essence will be stolen if he had already seen you all dolled up.

4.  Make sure you start taking care of your body weeks before your wedding day. Schedule hair, makeup and any other beauty treatments and go for your hair trial and makeup trial, you want to know exactly what you will look like, the smallest thing such as the wrong shade of base can completely ruin your look.
