The Seven Deadly Bridal Sins
 
Bridezilla? I don't think so. Before you catch yourself in a jam, learn the seven behaviors that can get your bridal behind in trouble.
 
 Sin #1: Talking Endlessly About the Wedding:
 While exciting, the engagement period can be a scary time. But trust that things will work out fine. And the next time someone asks about your wedding plans, keep your answer to a sentence or two. 
 
Sin #2: Being Too Concerned with Throwing the "Perfect" Wedding 
"Suddenly, I realized I was planning this whole thing so that I'd be with my husband for the rest of my life, not so I could say my sugar cubes matched my flowers." When you find yourself ignoring your budget, remember the same thing. 
 
Sin #3: Neglecting Your Fiancé 
 "I can't meet you for lunch, sweetie, I have an appointment with my florist." Sound like you lately? take precedence over caring for each other. So, take time off from big-day tasks to spend regular old girlfriend-boyfriend time together.
 
Sin #4: Becoming a Total Diva 
Are you in danger of going overboard on the attention-grabbing front, demanding more, more, more from friends and bridesmaids?  In addition to one or two just-for-you events, plan get-together's that are all about fun and friendship and have nothing to do with your wedding.

Sin #5: Blowing Your Wedding Budget
you don't want to start your marriage under a cloud of debt.
Be sure to take time to set up a budget that you and your family can all agree on! 
 
Sin #6: Not Acknowledge What Your Parents May Be Going Through
The fact is, your wedding marks a big transition for your parents as well as for you, no matter how old you are. A child's marriage signals a change in parental identity-from parents to potential grandparents. These are heavy thoughts, so it's no wonder many parents bury their emotions under silly fights, or even by seeming uninterested in the wedding. So give your parents a little extra attention as well because they are your parents and they love you!
 
Sin #7: Crash Dieting
Extreme dieting may help you drop pounds, but it's not healthy. If you diet, make sure you eat no less than 1,200 calories a day and lose no more than two pounds per week.

Wedding Hairstyles According to Your Face Shape!
 
Your look isn't complete without the wedding hairstyle to compliment your choice of glamorous or natural makeup style! One thing to consider when looking at wedding hairstyles is your face's shape whether it's oval, round, square, or heart shaped.
 

Before you start looking at the hundreds and thousands of beautiful hairstyles, pull your hair back and look straight forward into the mirror. Take an eye brow pencil or a settle lip liner , trace the outline of your face on the mirror. When your done evaluate the shape you have drawn and the shape you've drawn on the mirror closely resembles is your face's shape. From then you can decide what hairstyles fit best on you!
 
 
[Eva Mendes]
Oval:  
Oval faces are longer than they are wide. This face shape goes well with most wedding hairstyles whether its a complicated up do or soft, cascading curls. Pulling your hair back brings more attention to your face as well as making it seem less narrow. AVOID wedding up-do's that pile your hair up at the top of your head; these will make your face look longer. 
 
 
 
[Ginnifer Goodwin] 
Round :
 Round faces are more or less equal in length and width. High wedding Up-do's that add height to the crown and wisps of hair framing the face look great with this shape. Or if you prefer to wear your hair down, consider long or wavy tresses, both of which hide cheekbones and lengthen the face. also try an off-center part, or side-swept bangs. 
 
 
[Angelina Jolie]
Square :  
Square faces are usually characterized by sharp jaw lines.  To soften these lines, choose a wedding hairstyle that frames your face with wisps of hair.  Or you may opt for romantic curls or waves that will divert attention from your jaw. Parting your hair on the side can also make your face look less angular. 
 
 

[Bella Thorne]
Heart :  

Heart Shaped faces usually have broad foreheads and narrow jawlines, so they look best with wispy bangs, or with hair framing the face. a half -up, half-down wedding hairstyle would work well with this face shape. Also remember to balance the narrow jawline with fullness at the ends of the hair. Pulling the hair back will only highlight the broadness of your forehead.

DIY BRIDAL BEAUTY TIPS:
Like any big celebrity at an awards show, they prepare WAY before they walk the red carpet. Brides can get the same great red carpet look by following this DIY countdown and beauty tips to achieve the glamour you want for your special day!
 
  
 
* 30 Days Before: Tone up  
Begin expanding your workout regime to include toning exercises for the biceps, triceps and shoulders. Make sure to do daily abdominal exercises or add two Pilates classes to your weekly routine. This mix of toning exercise will ensure a defined, toned look  prior to any special event or start of the bathing suit season.   
* Two Weeks Before: Get glowing 
Prepare your body and skin for a healthy glow by trying a detoxification wrap or at-home detoxification diet to flush your system of unwanted toxins that can give your skin a dull, tired  
look.  
* One Week Before: Pay attention to your backside 
If you're wearing something backless or heading out in a back- or arms-bearing top, try a facial focused on your backside. It's important to do this early and a couple of times to ensure your  
skin has time to react to the benefits. This will help balance, smooth and tone, leaving a nice healthy glow to show off those fabulously toned arm and back muscles.  
* A Couple of Days Before: Face time 
Anti-aging facials can immediately reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smoothing fine lines and  
helping achieve a youthful glow. Facials are best the day before or morning of a special event.  
At-home facials with cold cucumbers for your eyes help achieve a remarkably refreshed  
appearance.  
* Most Essential Beauty Tip: Rest up! 
It's called beauty sleep for a reason and is essential to ensuring a fresh, relaxed appearance. After all, no one wants to worry about their eyes looking tired and dull due to lack of sleep!
