Are you gearing up for your big day in the picturesque landscapes of Sonoma or beyond northern california? As you plan every intricate detail of your wedding, don’t overlook the importance of your bridal beauty regimen. While you may have your makeup artist booked and your hairstyle finalized, there are some lesser-known beauty items that can elevate your bridal look to new heights. Let’s explore five bridal beauty items you didn’t even know you wanted, but trust us, you’ll be glad you have them on your special day.

1. **SPF Protection:**
Sonoma’s sunny weather is perfect for outdoor weddings, but it also means prolonged sun exposure. Invest in a spf to protect your exposed arms and shoulders provides SPF protection and prevent unwanted sunburns. This multitasking product will keep your skin flawless while shielding your skin from harmful UV rays.

2. **Lash Serum for Flutter-Worthy Lashes or lash extensions:**
Dreaming of long, voluminous lashes for your wedding day? Consider incorporating a lash serum into your beauty routine months before the big day. These serums promote lash growth, giving you natural, flutter-worthy lashes that will beautifully complement your bridal look.

Lash extensions have been something i’m seeing more with our makeup team. Some brides and special event beauties love their lash extensions.

Make sure to get a fill scheduled 3 days before your event if you have had them on for a while. If it’s your first time try them on months before your wedding or event. Why?! well you maybe allergic to the glue and won’t know until you try them. While products have gone a long way your body may react differently.

Before trying something new always do it ahead of time.

3. **Color-Correcting Primer:**
Achieve a flawless complexion with a color-correcting primer tailored to your skin concerns. Whether you’re battling redness, dullness, or uneven skin tone, a color-correcting primer can work wonders in creating a smooth canvas for your makeup application. Opt for a primer that enhances your natural glow and ensures your makeup lasts throughout the festivities. This is something we do for our brides and special event clients.

4. **Hydrating Lip Mask:**
Sonoma’s dry climate can take a toll on your lips, especially during the excitement of your wedding day. Prep your pout with a hydrating lip mask to ensure your lips stay soft, supple, and kissable all day long. Choose a mask infused with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and hyaluronic acid for maximum hydration and plumpness.

5. **Glow-Boosting Facial Mist & face exfoliator:**
Keep your skin refreshed and radiant throughout the day with a glow-boosting facial mist. A quick spritz of this revitalizing mist will hydrate your skin, set your makeup, and impart a luminous glow that will have you radiating bridal beauty from morning until night.

Exfoliating your skin will remove dead skin cells and make your makeup appear more flawless. I recommend starting this at least a month before your big day. A gentle exfoliation is enough and make sure to do a small test run on your hand to make sure your skin reacts well to the product before applying it to your face. If you can splurge a gentle facial is an amazing way to relax and treat your skin.

Incorporating these bridal beauty secrets into your wedding day prep will leave you feeling confident, radiant, and ready to say “I do” in Sonoma’s enchanting vineyards. Remember, your wedding day is a celebration of love, joy, and cherished memories. By pampering yourself with these luxurious beauty items, you’ll not only look stunning but also feel empowered to shine brightly on your special day.
