8. Mangalsutra/ Thali Chain - SIZE MATTERS:
Every wedding is different and, in some cultures, they do not believe in having an open Mangalsutra chain. Though it seems to be a very small thing and you must be wondering Does that really matter? Well yes!
You must have already given the size of your chain based on your existing pieces of jewelry, but have you ever thought that once you are all decked up and ready for your big day there can be issues around putting the mangalsutra chain? Yes, it happens mostly due to bigger and/ or higher hair buns which can be an obstruction in wearing a closed chain.
There are two solutions:
Either go for a longer chain
OR
Make sure that the hairstylist doesn't make the bun too high or broad. This is just to avoid any last-minute discomfort.
Here are the Don'ts! - Things to avoid
9. Avoid under-eye concealer mistakes:
Avoid over-correcting under-eye circles. Opt for the right concealer shade to prevent it from becoming the focal point in photos. Balance is key for a naturally radiant look.

While shimmer adds glamour, too much can turn into unflattering reflections. Choose wisely, ensuring a radiant glow without unwanted shine in your wedding photos.
11. Tear-Resistant Mascara:
Use a tear-resistant mascara during Vidaai to avoid makeup mishaps if tears flow. A face that stays intact ensures you look flawless during this emotional moment.
12. Mehendi & Sangeet Brilliance:
While simplicity is appreciated, ensure you stand out. It's your wedding; opt for a look that radiates bridal elegance, not mere ordinariness.

Strike a balance in your makeup approach. Remember, your entire look, from head to toe, will be captured. Look your best to get the best in photos.
