3. Maintain your skin and hair health by establishing a consistent skincare and haircare routine, ensuring both are in optimal condition for your big day.
4. Consider your preparation space carefully. Verify the access time and ensure there is sufficient time for you and your bridal party to get ready before the ceremony. Confirm that there is ample space for hair stylists, makeup artists (with their equipment), and other professionals such as photographers and videographers.
