With the wedding season on, it's time for the brides to spruce themselves up for the big day in a big way. Agreed, it's the most important day of your life. And the real secret  to look really beautiful on your D-day is to relax and keep it simple - you want to look like yourself, only better!  Here we bring you some beauty bummers to avoid that will help you look and feel fabulous on your wedding day.

Hair bang, bang

While it's absolutely fine to go with a hairstyle with bangs and fringes that you think is timeless or head-turning, make sure it isn't the kind of a style that you later wish you could have given a skip. Hair on the face can make you look outright clumsy. So plan your hairdo with great care. When in doubt, ask your stylist for advice.

Spur of the moment gaffe

No matter what, never, ever drive yourself to a drastic, spur-of-the-moment measures, like changing your blouse or shoes. You might be following your gut that way, but switching at the last minute to something that's  way different from what you had originally planned could be asking for disaster.

Ill-fitted ensemble

If you wish your wedding trousseau to fit you to the T, do all the nip and tuck days ahead of the D-day to avoid any last minute goof up. After all, you wouldn't want your blouse to be gaping a bit in the bust.

It would do you good to take photos of yourself at the second to last or last fitting and check how the ensemble looks from all angles and while you're moving in it.

Tried-and-tested

Never mind how many trials you have undergone, the hairstyling and make-up on the D-day won't be the  same as the trials. It will help to have pictures of your trials handy and communicate them to your stylists. However, you might end up making slight tweaks here and there. The idea is to avoid last-minute changes and settle with the tried-and-tested.
