Rain on your wedding day, did you know... Rain on

Rain on your wedding day, did you know...

Rain on your wedding day is good luck because it signifies that your marriage will last. As you know, a knot that becomes wet is extremely hard to untie – therefore, when you “tie the knot” on a rainy day, your marriage is supposedly just as hard to unravel! We can thank Hindu traditions for this belief.

If I kiss you like this And if you whisper like th

If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago, but it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago, but it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist, and it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now

If you know me, you know how much I dislike to dissapoint someone.

My photo game was not at its best on Saturday.... 😅

But here is a glimpse of one of the Bridesmaids from Elzaans wedding, She chose a soft glam makeup look with Glam/Hollywood waves. 👰‍♀️

I was a bit nervous about the waves as we all know it takes a lot of time, prep and styling to get it 100% right. I did explain my concerns as we had 1.5 hours for makeup and hair and she told me to go for it and just to try and get it as close as I can. 💆‍♀️

It came out alot better than what I expected to. 🎉 and my bridesmaid was super happy.

Thank you for trusting me and for letting me be honest with you about the inspo photo vs. reality. 🙏

🎀 What NOT to Do Before Your Wedding Day - Make

🎀 What NOT to Do Before Your Wedding Day - Makeup Edition 🎀 #BridalBeauty #WeddingCountdown #MakeupTips

💄 Don't get a spray tan the night before your wedding day! 🙅‍♀️ (I recommend at least 2 days before.)

💄 Do not have excessively long, voluminous lash extensions done; it completely ruins your makeup look.

💄 Don't wax your eyebrows the day before the wedding if it's not something you do frequently. You might get a reaction from the wax or a chemical burn. 😱

💄 Don't use any new face mask that you haven't used before the night before, even if your Maid of Honor/Bridesmaids assure you that nothing will happen. 🚫

💄 Don't change your skincare routine the month of the wedding. 🧴

💄 Don't drink a lot of alcohol the night before. 🍷 This will dehydrate your skin and give you puffy eyes. 🐼
