Do: Drink A Lot of Water
The more moisturized you are, the less noticeable wrinkles appear. In fact, even you makeup artist will appreciate that you have moisturized skin if you wear makeup.

Additionally, if you intend to celebrate with alcohol on your special day, staying hydrated beforehand will reduce the likelihood of a hangover.
Do: Sleep Whenever You Can
You don't want to be exhausted on your wedding day for a variety of reasons. People get grumpy when they're weary and nobody wants to be a grumpy bride, right? Along with that, not getting adequate amount of sleep can make dark circles more evident, making you look tired and fatigued.
Do: Think About "Us Time" and "Me Time."
Your day will occasionally pass in a frenzy of pomp and circumstance, regardless of how attentive and observant you are. Remember why you are doing this in the first place, and give it some thought. It's more than a party. It is a celebration of your life's most important commitment. If you keep this in mind the week before the celebration, it will help you remember that fact throughout the day and, in the event that something goes wrong, what matters most.
Don’t: Make Significant Beauty Adjustments
You shouldn't try out new hairstyles or bangs the week before your wedding. In a similar vein, it's advisable to stay away from first-time facials and any other new beauty procedures that could cause skin irritations or breakouts, even though you might be tempted to invest on some new skincare products to attain that bridal glow. To prevent any unpleasant surprises, stick to the beauty routine you know works for you.
Do: Steer Clear of Last-Minute Do-it-Yourself Projects
It's not the right moment to do that final do-it-yourself project you saw on Pinterest, even if you might be tempted to. Without enough time to make adjustments or correct errors, last-minute initiatives may not end out as planned and can cause needless stress.
Don’t: Go Overboard with the Pre-Celebrations
Having a stag or bachelorette party in the days leading up to the nuptials? You won't be able to enjoy your wedding day to the fullest if you overindulge in late-night drinking and partying. You also don't want panda eyes and sallow skin!
Don’t: Make Last-Minute Changes or Splurges
In the days before the wedding, stick to your plan and budget and refrain from making impulsive purchases or costly extras. Put down the Pinterest vision boards and quit examining the infinite alternatives online. Don't alter the color scheme the week before the wedding only because the algorithm displayed one viral article; you've spent months organizing your wedding!
Do: Take Some Days Off Work
The days before your wedding day will be hectic for you. Take time off from work so that on your wedding day, you won't be so stressed up that you can hardly breathe. Whether you are a planner or not, you will have a lot of preparation and communication to do in those last few hours, so relax, give yourself the gift of more time to do everything and enjoy those moments together with your friends and family.
Do: Ignore Unsolicited Advice
Don't let critics make you second-guess your choice of wedding march-in song or be influenced by outside comments about a last-minute addition to the wedding speeches during these closing moments. You may risk ruining your well-thought-out plans in the heat of the moment if you listen to unsolicited counsel while experiencing last-minute anxiety. Remember, you and your future spouse have been planning your wedding for a long time so adhere to the choices you and your partner have made.
Don't: Stress Over Little Things
It's acceptable if things don't go exactly as planned. Don't worry about the little things. Focus on the excitement of the occasion and the celebration of your love. After all, always keep in mind that marriage is more important than the wedding day.
Don’t: Change Your Diet Abruptly
Before the wedding, you may be thinking what foods to avoid, which could lead you to try different dishes. However, this may not be a great idea. To get through this week on an emotional, mental, and physical level, you need nourishment. Eat well, stay hydrated, and concentrate on feeling good about yourself. By eating like you usually do, you will avoid any unpleasant shocks and sickness.
