Movie studios have a great idea with sneak previews. It gives them a chance to gauge audience reactions, make dialog changes or whatever they feel is needed. Brides-to-be should take advantage of this concept and have their own sneak preview.

Some time in advance of the big day, put your ensemble together for a trial run. I mean the complete get up from hairstyle to the toenail color. Take some pictures in different poses. Walk, sit, and move around! Are you comfortable? Do you spend too much time pulling and tugging? Did your hairstyle and make up do well? Are there any final fittings that need to be done? Take notes.

Let a week go by and take the pictures out. Remember, you will be photographed at many different times of day. Do the lighting changes affect the way you’ll wear your make up? Do you think you photographed well? Are you happy with the general look?

With a little private preview, you’ll feel much more composed for the big premier!
