it's only natural to want your husband-to-be to think "Wow!" when he sees you walk down the aisle. And, let's not forget, your wedding day will be captured for posterity in your photos, so it's more important than ever to look your best - all day long.

Wedding day make-up is a delicate subject. To look your best we think you should aim for a more polished version of your everyday look. It's a careful balancing act - looking natural without appearing washed out.
Avoid going for a dramatic new image on your wedding day. Stick to a more natural effect, so that you'll look like yourself - just a slightly more glamorous version.
Certain camera techniques such as soft focus can make your face lose definition. Try to define your features as much as possible, but avoid the hard lines of eye pencils and liquid liners.
Pinky-brown lipsticks whiten teeth whereas orange or red can make them look yellow. If you have very pale skin, a cherry red lipstick can look harsh. Steer clear of overly pale or pearly lipstick.
If you're having black-and-white photographs take extra care with your make-up. Dark red lipstick and heavy-handed blusher will look even darker in black-and-white photos, while pastel colours can fade out completely.
Make sure you invest in a good waterproof mascara - just in case you get a bit tearful.
Pluck your eyebrows and wax your legs at least four days before the wedding so any redness has time to calm down.
Be wary of too much fussiness around your face. Make sure that your veil, jewellery, headdress and neckline complement one another to avoid a cluttered look.
Treat yourself to a professional manicure. Your hands are likely to be the focus of many pictures - and everyone will want to have a look at your ring.
Finally, relax, enjoy yourself. Take a moment to stand back and savour every moment because the day can fly by!
