Banish a Blemish Quick Fix

Its every bride’s nightmare to wake up on your wedding day and see a bright red breakout. Seeing this can cause you to turn bright red with frustration. But don’t get frustrated, get working on fixing the problem. The first thing you need to do is apply ice to the blemish for about ten minutes to reduce any swelling. Then apply a cotton ball soaked in astringent or witch hazel to dry that sucker out. Apply a medicated clearing cream and let dry before you apply your makeup. After the cream has dried, apply your makeup normally and don’t forget to apply concealer to hide the blemish. A breakout on your wedding day doesn’t have to turn into your worst nightmare if you follow this tip.

When Something Goes Wrong at a Wedding

The best way to keep things from going wrong at a wedding is to be prepared. Things that can go wrong at a wedding are as varied as a wedding dress mishap or the wrong kind of flowers or food. If you have a sewing kit handy you can take care of most any bridal gown problems that arise, and if you make sure to check with the waiters as soon as the food comes out and doesn’t look right, you can make sure you aren’t going to run into any dietary concerns with your guests.

If you see your tables and they look bare, check with your wedding coordinator or ask your maid of honor to check with the staff to see where your wedding favors went. Delegate any problems that arise so you can enjoy yourself during the reception. Turn your private episode of weddings gone wrong into letting others help you solve problems. You have enough on your mind without having to worry about what happened to your special cake topper. You have people more than happy to take care of those little issues for you so you can enjoy your big day.

From your bridal party to your last guest, all eyes are going to be on you and how beautiful you look in your bridal gown. Keep your cool and remember that everyone is going to remember your day as special no matter what happens or goes wrong. Enjoy yourself!

Top 5 Urban Wedding Beauty Myths

There have been so many urban legends and myths floating around about what to do in a wedding day emergency situation. Here are our top 5:

1. Myth: Putting toothpaste on your pimple the night before the wedding will dry it up by morning.

Truth: Actual toothpaste may have a drying effect on the pimple, but it could also irritate sensitive skin and cause a bad reaction. It’s probably best to stick with a medicated clearing serum or cream for an unexpected pimple instead.

2. Myth: Icing down your face the day of your wedding will shrink your pores.

Truth: Your pores can never be shrunk. They will always be the same size that they always have been and so on. However, you can give the illusion of smaller pores by using a face mask that tightens your skin. Note to bride: These types of masks will tighten your skin, not your pores and it’s best to not try any new beauty treatment the day of your wedding.

3. Myth: If I eat chocolate the day before my wedding, I will wake up with a breakout.

Truth: There is no scientific evidence to support the fact that chocolate or sweets will cause a breakout. So go ahead and indulge a little, just don’t go overboard or you’ll wake up with an extra pound, not an extra pimple.

4. Myth: Shampooing your hair with beer the day of your wedding will give you extra volume and thicker hair strands.

Truth: Beer may help thicken your individual hair strands and make it appear plumper, but you will smell like BEER! Instead of shampooing with beer, try using a volumizing shampoo to give your hair a thicker appearance.

5. Myth: Preparation H can de-puff your swollen eyes on the morning of the wedding.

Truth: Preparation H is not meant for your delicate eye area, so it can cause eye irritation and drying of the skin around your eyes as well. Instead, use an eye cream specifically for this issue.

Solving Common Wedding Mishaps

You’ve planned everything down to the last detail. You’re sure everything is going to be perfect. Then you notice as you’re walking down the aisle that the flowers are bright pink and baby blue. These are the wrong wedding colors and they clash with your midnight blue bridesmaids that are looking at the flowers and trying to figure out what you were thinking. And don't even get us started on the wedding favors. Not everyone wants toilet paper with the wedding date printed on it.

This is just one of the hundred things that can happen not the way you planned. From the wrong wedding dress to wedding parties gone wrong there are many things that go wrong at a wedding. No matter how much you have planned and prepared, what can go wrong at my wedding ceremony is a question every bride asks before the big day.

The key is to remember before you walk down the aisle and before you attend your reception that something is pretty much bound to go wrong at some point. But of all the things that go wrong at a wedding, the only things your guests will notice are the things you point out to them as wrong. If you keep your cool and act like you meant to have a bright pink cake with dice on top, your guests won’t think twice about it, and neither should you. Don’t let something small get in the way of remembering why you got married in the first place.

Feeling Faint Quick Fix

Many brides forget to eat the morning of your wedding because of a variety of reasons. Perhaps they are too busy or too nervous or just plain forgot.

Eating or drinking will help settle your stomach and will take away any lightheadedness that you may be feeling. And don’t worry about your guests waiting for you, taking one or two minutes before you make your grand entrance will make it seem all the more dramatic. Trust us, you want your entrance to be dramatic, not your fainting spell up at the alter.

Makeup Meltdown Quick Fix

Waking up to a scorching hot wedding day can ruin your makeup plans. To make sure that your makeup doesn’t melt away in the sizzling heat, try these tips:

-Don’t allow your foundation to run all over the place! Use less moisturizer and a lightweight or powder foundation to make it stay.

-Apply cream and powder blush. First apply the cream blush and then set the cream with your powder blush for long lasting color.

-Make sure your lipstick lasts by applying foundation to your lips first, then lightly dust translucent powder over the top. Run a lip-liner of the same color as your lipstick over your lips and finally apply your lipstick color for a long lasting and pretty pout.

Bright Eyed Quick Fix

Excitement often keeps brides up all night before her wedding. But staying up all night can also leave a bride with unsightly bloodshot eyes. If you wake up the morning of your wedding with a little red in your eyes, clear them up in a pinch with eye drops. A few in each eye will leave you with a sparkling stare that your soon-to-be hubby won’t be able to take his eyes off of. For another quick pick-me-up on the day of the wedding, use a white eyeliner or light colored eye-shadow to line the inner corners of the eyes. This trick will give the bride a bright-eyed look. A little goes a long way in terms of making your eyes get their twinkle back.

Dirty Dress Quick Fix

All too often, a bride glances down at her dress and notices a big fat stain! Give some stain remover wipes to your maid of honor to carry with her on your wedding day. Stain remover wipes work best when used immediately after the accident occurred. Grab one from your gal pal and rub in circular motions over the stain until virtually all traces are gone.

The best wipes to use are Shout! Wipes. These little wipes are perfect for your wedding day attire because the are safe on all colorfast washable and dry-cleanable fabrics. If someone steps on your dress, or you spill a little something on your new husbands tie, one of these little wipes will knock the stain right out. Other stains are just easier to cover up than try to rub out. Grass, lipstick, ink, wine or even a dirt stain. White chalk is another great item to keep around to cover up any one of these stains. Simply rub the white chalk over the stain to conceal it for the rest of the wedding.
