brides seek out a stylist as soon as they
have decided on a dress. “You always want
to have a dress rehearsal with your stylist to
see if your styles merge,” she says.

and victory rolls. Vintage makeup uses bold
lines and strong colors. “It’s a timeless look,”
Hart says. “Wearing red lipstick just makes
you feel good, and curls are fl attering to
everyone.”
3. Blake Taylor gets a clean shave and a
pompadour. Guys should make their
grooming appointment for the day before

shaves to make sure everything is “baby’s-
