3 - 4 Week Countdown To Prom

Now that Spring Break is over, and you have taken care of the BIG Prom items like the dress, shoes, and accessories, let's turn our attention to the LITTLE things that count as well.

1)You need to try on your gown with the undergarments you are planning to wear on the big night. Be sure there are no panty lines or bra straps showing. Treat yourself to a pair of Spanx for a smooth line around the derriere. Buy a Nu-Bra if your cleavage needs a boost. If your dress is white, and see through in front of the mirror, you will need to get a slip.

2)With your shoes on, check the hem of your gown, you don't want to be tripping all night long. Make an appointment ASAP if you need to get it hemmed, also if you need minor adjustments on the straps of your gown, etc. Check if you need to get the wrinkles steamed out of your gown.

3)Make your salon appointments. Remember your eyebrows and facial should be done at least two or three days ahead, ditto for spraytans. Mani/pedi can be the day before, or the day of Prom, early in the morning. Don't schedule your hair or makeup befor 12 noon, or you will be wilted by 6pm! Ideally, get your hair done first, then the make-up. Remember the best salons get booked way ahead of time, so don't wait!!!!!

4)Go with your date to order your flowers, check up on your transportation, and make those plans for the pre party and after party.
If you will need dinner reservations, now is the time to book a table.

5)Planning is everything, you want to be relaxed. So be sure to schedule some beauty sleep the day before. Make sure your camera works, or go buy that disposable. Pack your purse up the day before as well, and set all your jewelry out, with your shoes, lingerie, etc.

We'll look at hairstyles, up-do's, and make-up ideas next week, so stay tuned!
