A day before the ceremony, get a basic manicure from your local salon. Choose a light, neutral color in case of chipping. Shades to try: NARS Adelita, Butter London Pink Ribbon or Deborah Lippmann Tiny Dancer.

Hair:

Makeup:
1 month before the wedding, schedule a free makeup consultation at a makeup counter (Try MAC, Bobbi Brown, Lancôme and Chanel.)

Buy a few key products to recreate the wedding look (e.g. foundation, blush and eye shadow shades). Also buy a few good, high quality brushes the makeup artist used (if you don't have them). Take notes on what they did and take photos after each consultation and decide on which look works best.

The night before the wedding, pack a beauty bag with all the makeup and tools you'll be using and a stash of beauty items you may need. Dedicate someone to hold/store them for you:

Tissues, cotton balls, cotton swabs, wipes, hair clips/pins, deodorant, eye drops, hair brush, mints, small toothbrush w/toothpaste (try Colgate Wisp Plus Whitening, Portable), hand cream, hairspray.
