May is here and it's the beginning of the wedding season. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It is the day that you publicly commit your love to another person for the rest of your life. It is also the day that you are the star, whether your wedding party includes you and your groom or 300 of your nearest, dearest and absolutely must-invites.

Being the bride and having all eyes on you can be a lot of pressure, but it is also one of your all-time greatest days. It just takes planning and preparation to ensure you'll have the wedding of your dreams. Here is a simple schedule to help you feel confident, relaxed and beautiful on the day of your wedding.

THREE MONTHS BEFORE

All brides should schedule trial appointments for makeup and hair. Be sure to bring your veil or other accessories. These appointments assure that you, your hairdresser and makeup artist share the same vision of your wedding-day look and help guarantee you'll have no surprises on the big day.

NOTE: Be sure that the hairdresser you choose for the trial appointment will be available on the day of your wedding. Hairdressers take vacations, too!

Every woman wants to glow on her wedding day. Sometimes this glow must be helped along with a few facials. Sign up for a series of gentle facial treatments about every four weeks. The last facial should be scheduled two weeks before your wedding day barring any last-minute break out.

Some brides think about radical changes in hair style or color before their wedding day. This is probably not the best idea. It is better to fine-tune your look now and wait until after the wedding to make more dramatic changes. I do think this is the perfect time to make your hair color a little bit brighter and richer with a few extra highlights or by adding a bit more zip to your overall color.

NOTE:: Your last touch-up should occur two weeks to 10 days before your wedding day. No hair color changes should occur on the last touch-up.

TWO MONTHS BEFORE

Be sure to make bridal-day hair appointments for your bridesmaids. Don't forget to ask immediate family members from out of town if they would like to have an appointment scheduled.

Think about your tips and toes. Now is the time to put yourself on a manicure and pedicure schedule. Remember, you will want to be perfect from the tips of your fingers to the tips of your toes on your wedding day.

ONE MONTH BEFORE

It's time for your last haircut before the wedding. This haircut should be a mere trim to keep your hair free of split ends and in perfect shape.

There will be many dinners and parties before your wedding day and you will the guest of honor. This is the perfect time for a makeup lesson to pick up a tip or two, so you will always look your best.

TWO WEEKS BEFORE

Don't forget about the groom. Suggest he schedule a haircut. He'll love you even more for thinking of him.

Schedule all waxing appointments. This will guarantee you'll be free of any unwanted hair and is a sure way to avoid last-minute skin irritation.

ONE WEEK BEFORE

This is the perfect week to pamper yourself. Relax! Indulge in a massage. Get your last manicure and pedicure before the wedding day. Try to sleep in a extra hour every day. It's true what they say about beauty sleep!

WEDDING DAY

This is your day. Enjoy every moment. Each detail has been planned. Don't worry if something goes a bit off schedule. After all, the party can't start without you! All the best to you on your wedding day!
