The weeks leading up to your wedding day can be one big blur of stress with a million tasks on your to-do list. Unfortunately, that means you're probably not taking the best care of yourself. And even though you're both going to vow to love each other "in sickness and in health," who wants a nasty cold or flu on their wedding day? Luckily, there are simple ways to prevent getting sick.

Get Some Shut-eye

During the weeks leading up to your wedding, you might be tempted to stay up all night putting together favors or working on the seating arrangement. Don't! Research shows that sleep helps boost your immune system -- not to mention that you look and feel better after getting the recommended eight hours. If you're having trouble sleeping or can't fit those eight hours into your schedule, try to find ways to de-stress before bed.

Plan Ahead

If you have your hair colored, permed, or treated, have it done at least one month before your wedding date. The extra time will soften your style a bit, so it looks more natural. Also, should disaster strike, you'll have time to fix it.

Loosen Up

Don't get your hair done (or do it yourself) too early on your wedding day, and don't wear it pulled back too tightly. Your scalp may start to hurt and you could get a headache if you wear a killer updo for too long.

Look your best with our best big day hair and makeup advice.

Waterproof It

Choose a mascara that's waterproof; it lasts longer and withstands tears. If you really don't like its look or feel, use one coat of regular mascara, then follow it up with a light coat of waterproof mascara.

On the Line
Charcoal, navy, or mahogany are your best options for eyeliner. Black or brown may look too severe, especially if your wedding will be held during the daytime and/or outdoors.
