{Tuesday Tip} How to Look 10 Pounds Thinner On Your Wedding Day

 

 

We found this on the Knot.com and had to share it. After all, who doesn’t want to look thinner.

 

How to Look 10 Pounds Thinner On Your Wedding Day

 

Five tricks for a longer, leaner you — minus the dieting.

 

Every bride wants to look her best for the wedding day, but with all the wedding planning to-dos, sometimes it’s tough to stick as closely as you want to your workout regimen. Luckily, there are a few easy shortcuts you can take to look trim in your wedding dress without hitting the gym every day or driving yourself crazy with diet fads.

Flatter Your Figure

Get a Good Support System

Stand Up for Yourself

Give Your Height a Boost

Strike the Right Pose

 

Your wedding photos are how you’ll remember your wedding day and you want to look fabulous! Keep your shoulders back, and flatter your jaw line by pushing your chin forward. If you can, keep your body slightly turned — you’ll look slimmer than if you’re facing straight at the camera. The most ideal look is to tilt your shoulders toward the photographer with your hips on an angle, which makes your waist and hips look instantly narrower.

 

Especially key for brides? Hold your arms slightly away from your body rather than pressing them against your sides. It can be tough (especially if you’ve been holding that bouquet all day!) but it makes a huge difference. While it seems like a lot to keep track of, don’t forget that you can practice! Based on the number of parties you will be attending, you’re going to have your picture taken pretty often — take advantage so that on your wedding day you can give ’em your best shots.

{Tuesday Tip} Rehearsal

 

Ceremony Rehearsal

 

 

When planning your ceremony rehearsal, it is best to schedule it at least 30 minutes prior to your actual start time. The 30 minute window allows you to fully run through the rehearsal a few times and get a glimpse of what the sunset lighting will look like. Now, when you notify your guests about rehearsal time, add an additional 15-30 minutes onto the actual start time. Schedule them to be at the rehearsal site early in order to prevent the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner from starting late.

Faux Wedding: Late Winter Romance

For the first day of March, nothing seemed more fitting than this romantic, elegant, pretty-in-pink photo shoot. The palette of pink and gold is so perfect for this time of year, standing right on the edge of winter peeking over into spring.
