I know you're here to read about the wedding beauty treatments I've had, but before we get into that, I want to make one thing clear: I am not someone who has made my wedding my entire personality. Have I spent hours looking at wedding make-up inspiration and the best wedding hair looks? Yes. Did I have my wedding-day perfume determined before I even got engaged? Also yes. But, for the most part, I like to think I've been pretty chilled about it all—I bought the first wedding dress I saw online, I wanted my bridesmaids to pick their own outfits and I've decided against having a hairstylist on the day.
Truth be told, I've always considered the pressure of needing to 'look your best' for your wedding archaic and, frankly, a bit toxic. Of course, I want to feel like the best version of me on what is sure to be one of the best days of my life, but I don't want to turn on myself in the process. As a beauty editor, I had a game plan from the get-go: start with the wedding beauty treatments as early as possible so that I could have the best canvas to work with. My intentions were good, but with two weeks to go I'll admit I hoped to be further along in my pre-wedding glow-up journey—and the pressure has started to kick in. (Although, my choice to not have any professional photography or videography on the day has made this a lot easier to deal with.)
