Every accessory will add to the beauty of the bride. But a lot goes into making her look so charismatic. So let's take you through the process that goes on behind the scenes. These are 10 ways to be the most beautiful bride:

1. Healthy eating habits:

We often rely on make-up and cosmetic products for a perfect glowing look, but there is no substitute for healthy food when it comes to naturally glowing skin. You should check your eating habits one year in advance and consume as much healthy food as you can. Green vegetables, fruits, nuts, and lots of water can do wonders. Make it a point to add these to your diet and eliminate fried and processed food. The results will be spectacular.

S/He will cater to your needs and make sure you are in perfect shape at the time of wedding. Still, if you are not a fan of gym style workout, then you can buy dumbbells, treadmill and follow fitness videos at home.  

3. Manicures and Pedicures:

Manicures and pedicures are a must for the to be bride. At least 3 weeks prior to the wedding, you should fix appointments with a salon to bring out the real glow of your hands and feet. Heat and dust cause hands and feet to look dull and wearied, which can mar your appearance. Take my word for it, nicely done nails and glowing skin will make you look more confident and presentable.

4. Make a monthly facial routine:

Monthly facial helps in keeping the skin tight and preventing the acnes from attacking the skin. Book a salon and make sure they treat your face for all your problem areas, especially black and white heads, and acnes. ?For a home-based pre-bridal routine, specialized skin care should ideally begin at least four to six weeks in advance?, says Shehnaz Husain, the well known beauty expert.
