In the hectic months before your wedding, you may be biting your nails in anticipation, and you want to be the picture of beauty for the big day. How can you juggle the stress that you face and still come out looking your best? Here is a fool-proof beauty calendar for you to look your best on the big day!

>> Set your beauty budget. Stick to it by taking advantage of special bridal packages offered by salons and spas.

>> Book the necessary appointments well in advance.

>> A good hairstylist is worth his/her weight in gold. Discuss the type of cut and colour that will best suit your face and hair, and keep it in mind when you get your hair done.

>> If you're considering a chemical process like a perm or colour, have it done earlier so that you can see if it suits you.

>> Start using a nail strengthening treatment now. It is also a good time to lose nasty nail habits like biting and polish-peeling!

>> Select a makeup artist, or schedule a makeup lesson with a professional while you've got time to practice, practice, practice.

>> Begin a skin-care regimen. Consider consulting a dermatologist to help you clear up any persistent problems and get a recommended programme for your skin type.

>> Start waxing your legs. (Repeated waxing actually thins hair growth.)

>> Begin a fitness regimen, emphasizing a low-fat diet and plenty of exercise. Remember that extreme weight changes can wreak havoc on your looks and health, so this probably isn't the time for drastic dieting.
