Organizing a wedding can be stressful and exhausting, so soothe your senses, calm your thoughts, and concentrate on looking your best with the help of Jacqui Ripley's How to be a Beautiful Bride.

Three months before the wedding is a good time to start thinking about your hairstyle. Show your stylist pictures of looks you like, so you can get advice on which style suits your face shape.

What you do on the night before the wedding will affect the way you look and feel on the day. Don't drink large amounts of alcohol. It will dehydrate you and encourage a hangover. Spend time with people who relax you.

Try getting some beauty sleep - a few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow equals restful slumber. On your wedding day, subtly applied make-up is essential and will help bring out the star in you. The secret to great make-up is to keep it simple, along with a little know-how on what products to choose and how to use them.

Apply deodorant and body lotions as early as possible, so they have time to sink into your skin. Eat a decent breakfast. Dress in comfortable clothes while you're having your hair and make-up done. Make sure they're easy to remove and don't have to go over your head - the last thing you want to do is mess up your hair!
