ahead so that you will be
comfortable with .th the
look and the way to achieve
it on the day of the wedding.
2. Try out hair and makeup
with all the pieces of your
wedding ensemble — veil or
hat, dress, jewelry — and, if
possible, do it in the actual
light of the church or
synagogue.
3. Since both dim church
lighting and wearing all
white tend to " wash out" the
features, don't be afraid to
wear plenty of color (lively
pastels in light to medium
shades) and apply it on all
parts of the face equally,
with no one feature
dominating.
4. Have a professional
facial a week before the
wedding to deep clean skin
and pores, and to give any
possible eruptions a chance
to heal.
5. 1f you wear glasses, be
sure to choose eyeshadows
bright enough to show
through the lenses and
maintain the balance of color
on the rest off the face. Also,
softly line the eyes on both
upper and lower lids with a
pencil one shade deeper than
the eyeshadow.
6. Treat yourself to a
manicure and pedicure a day
or two before the wedding, so
that hands that cut the cake
look lovely and feet that
stand throughout the
reception feel smooth and
comfortable.
7. To make lipstick last
through the ceremony and
beyond, cover lips with
foundation before applying

ae-
lipstick from "feathering"
( bleeding out beyond the
mouth), line the lips neatly
with a brush and then fill in
the centre.
8. On the day of the wed-
ding, allow two hours of quiet
preparation before leaving
for the ceremony. Sit, don't
stand, relaxed in front of a
good mirror with plenty of
light to do your hair and
makeup.
9. Keep a compact, lipstick
and tissues at hand with a
bridesmaid or mother for
quick touch-ups between
ceremony and receiving line,
and after the reception
wears on.
10. Relax! If you've
followed directions this far,
you should be refreshed and
ready to enjoy the day
looking your radiant best.
Tips for bride's mother
Get acquainted with the
groom's family first.
Traditionally, the groom's
family calls on the bride's
parents. But if they don't,
you can extend an invitation.
Make the initial meeting
informal with lots of tune for
conversation. You'll have
the best chance to . lk if it's
parents only. When it comes
time to discuss wedding
plans, get couple and i :• rents
together.
Families too far away?
Be 'n with a friendly letter.
Tell a little about your
family, slipping in a picture
perhaps, and 'include some
warm words about your
future son-in-law. Follow
with a phone call.
If fit's just not ;,'nssible to
meet well before the wed -
ng, ask them to come a few
.!.:,ys early.
In the meantime, do keep

the groom's parents be

make them '•,,th feel equally
welcome.

Help everyone gree o®
the kind f weds` ng that will
please them all., Throughout
the planning, remember
you're the family diplomat.
You yourself may dream
of a garden ceremony at
your summer house with the
closest family and friends.
The bride pictures herself at
the cathedral with eight
attendants.
How :, keep it a joyful day
for everyone? The first step
is to find out why each of you
feels as you do. Does budget
cause you to favor the
garden? Is it the church
setting she loves, or the
crowds? Next look for a
compromise that satisfies
both points of view—maybe a
church ceremony with a
garden reception.
You may sometimes
wonder whose wedding is
this, hers or yours? The
answer is theirs—the bride's
and the groom's.
ivide rip tasks with 'ce
wedding couple. Many
couples t ay want to take
care of every last thing
themselves. Others live too
far away to handle local
arrangements, or must
share the work because of
final exams or hectic job
schedules. Th ,t's where you
come in! A copy of "The
Bride's Calendar" will help.

don't intervene. Let your
dauter and the attendants
pick out their dresses. If she
needs help, she'll ask. It's
really better as well for the
bride and groom to make
decisions for their new home
together. Gifts are sure to
come to your home. You can
help open them and set up a
display if you wish (take it
down too!) You'll also have
