Article: Buy your dress a few months in advance to allow time for alterations. Additionally, choose a dress that flatters your body type and fits in with your wedding vision. For example, if you're getting married in a ballroom, you may not want to wear a simple shift dress. If you're having trouble choosing a dress, bring some close friends or family members along to help you choose. Purchase wedding shoes that match your dress. Many bridal boutiques also offer bridesmaid dresses. If possible, you can kill two birds with one stone by shopping for bridesmaids dresses at the same time. Avoid getting beauty treatments the day before the wedding. If you have an adverse reaction, you won't have time to recover from any rashes or swelling. Instead, get these treatments done a week or two before the wedding. Beauty treatments can include: Hair waxing Eyebrow shaping Facials and other skin treatments Hair coloring If you have room in your budget, consider getting your hair and makeup done professionally. A professional makeup artist will be able to give you a flawless look that will last all day. Similarly, a professional hair stylist can do your hair quickly and securely. If possible, book "in home" services that will allow the stylists to come to you. With some practice, you can also do your own hair and makeup. An emergency bag will help correct any wardrobe, makeup, or hair problems that may occur throughout the wedding. If you don't have time to assemble this bag yourself, ask a trusted friend or family member to assemble it for you. This emergency bag can include: Spare makeup for touch-ups Deodorant Headache medicine Breath mints A small sewing kit No matter how beautiful your dress, makeup, and hair are, you won't look good without a smile. However, after an hour or two of posing for pictures, you may have trouble looking genuine while smiling. If you need help faking one, try chuckling quietly just before the photo is taken.

What is a summary?
Purchase a wedding dress. Get any beauty treatments done ahead of time. Consider booking professional beauticians. Bring an emergency bag to the wedding. Smile.
