Avoid Regrets! Things to Especially Be Careful About [One Month Before to Just Before the Ceremony] ① Hair and Makeup Rehearsal
Some of you may have decided not to have a hair and makeup rehearsal because it costs money! However, it is recommended to have one ♡ This is because many brides who didn’t have a rehearsal ended up feeling dissatisfied with their hairstyle and makeup on the big day!*
Especially for makeup, if you don’t have a rehearsal, your concept might not be communicated clearly, which might lead to a surprise on the day like, “I don’t want to look like this!” You want to take photos with a genuine smile, right?* That’s why a hair and makeup rehearsal is advisable ♩

It would be disastrous if stones or pearls snagged on your dress! If the tulle of your dress gets caught and tears, you might have to pay for repairs…! If you are using stones or pearls, please make sure they put a thick top coat on top!*

You often hear stories of couples who had incredibly satisfying weddings but have no photos to show for it!* Even if you hire a professional photographer, you won't get those photos immediately, so be sure to hand a camera over to your family ♩
By giving your family a camera and asking them to take photos, you can see pictures of the ceremony right after it concludes! If possible, you want to see the photos shortly after the ceremony and indulge in the memories ♡
Don’t Forget to Get Your Body in Shape Before the Ceremony Day ♡
The preparations for a wedding can be overwhelming with a lot to do, but the most important thing is your physical condition on the day of the ceremony ♡ It would be tough if you’ve worked hard, and your skin looks terrible on the big day, right?* Make sure to create time to relax before the day and have a wonderful wedding ♩
