-
Take a shower or bath. Wash your body and hair. Condition the ends of your hair to make them silky smooth, if you like. Rinse everything out completely. Brush your teeth for at least minutes. [1] X Research source After you dry yourself with a towel, apply deodorant and body lotion. Blow dry your hair until it's 80% dry and then let the rest air dry. This should be really easy, if you've got an easy care hairstyle. [2] X Research source

Choose your clothes. If you want to, wear a dress. Any dress you choose should not be too revealing. Pick light, pretty colors but don't wear white, being mistaken for the bride is awkward. Light blue, beige, peach, sunset orange, and lavender are good colors. [3] X Research source Wear a tuxedo or a suit, depending on how formal the wedding is. If it's a small, outdoor wedding, wear a smart suit. If it's indoors and “proper”, wear a top hair and tails. Black, gray and navy are good colors for suits. Wear a white or light blue dress shirt under and a smart tie. For a tuxedo, wear a white dress shirt and a black tux. Wear a black or white bow tie, depending on how formal the wedding is. The dress shirt must be button down. [4] X Research sourceAdvertisement

Do your hair. If you've got short hair, comb your hair out and use some gel to make it spiky or sleek. [5] X Research source . If you've got long hair you could style your hair in a bun, curls, ponytail, braid, half up half down, or just add a nice hair accessory. [6] X Research source Ask a skilled family member or professional to style your hair so that it looks pretty. Remember to brush out your hair really well and then add a headband, fascinating or even a hat. Remember not to wear huge bow headbands, maybe just a flower one with some sparkles. Put some hairspray, mousse, or gel on it to make it look good for the whole wedding.

Accessorize. You don't necessarily have to accessorize. You can just wear fancy shoes. You could wear some favorite jewelry. This means no skull bracelet or silly bands. Only wear classy jewelry, because it's a special occasion. Diamond, gold, jade, your birthstone, etc. Wear some pretty gold hoops earrings or a match a pearl necklace with pearl stud earrings. Make sure to wear the most valued jewelry piece you own—weddings are some of the few occasions you can your most treasured items of jewelry are perfect to wear. You could also wear gold bangles, a jade bracelet, or your birthstone ring. Also carry a special purse for this occasion, if you have one.
-
Wear more makeup than you usually would on a regular day to school or work. Only put makeup on your kid if they're 6 or older, because no one likes makeup on a 2-year-old. Don't wear too much, but wear a decent amount. Use colors like red on lips, light pink, blue, white, lavender, beige, peach, and orange.
-
Wear high heels or fancy flats. For flats, wear bow ones with glitter on them. It could be white, silver, red, pink, nude, or brown. Wear heels that aren't too high, because you'll be walking a lot. Get them sparkly or classic. Just wear some normal heels or wear a pair that have bows on them, because this sparks it up a bit. Nude, white, black, red, and brown are nice colors for heels that you wear to weddings. [7] X Research source Alternatively wear some black formal shoes that go well with your suit/tuxedo.
-
Apply necessary last minute touch ups. Check your makeup to make sure everything looks great. Also check your hair and outfit, etc., or check your outfit and hair gel and shoes to make sure they're clean. Spray on some light scented perfume, body spray or aftershave or cologne.
