For many young women leaving secondary school, the prom is one of the most special days of their lives. It is a night full of emotions, good food, friends and fashion! Here are 7 things to do before your prom so you look truly stunning!
Find the perfect dress
When buying a prom dress, bear in mind that you will wear it only once! Don’t compromise, because you will regret it later. Choose a quality, stylish prom dress. Don’t forget that the cut is also very important. Terani dresses are made in America and suit every figure.
First of all, find the perfect dress for you. Terani Couture has hundreds of styles to suit all body shapes, sizes and skin tones. We recommend choosing something you will feel comfortable and confident in. You are young girls, and movement and dancing are very important. To be able to say this is The Dress – try it on; it is the only way to be sure you have chosen the best one for you!
Accessories and flowers
Jewellery, accessories and even flowers in your hair are things to think about, but only after you have chosen your prom dress. Flowers can often change the whole aesthetic of the look. Plus, accessories can very often make all the difference. And don’t forget, you are the prom-goer – don’t go by the opinions of friends and acquaintances; if you like it, then it’s right!
Paint your nails
If you are not someone who regularly has manicures and pedicures, the prom is a reason to give it a try! If gel polish or acrylics are not your thing, look for an ordinary polish that will go well with your prom dress or even with the colour of one of your accessories! What we at Terani Couture recommend is for the polish to match the colour of your accessories, or simply to go for a classic French manicure, which suits every dress perfectly and can’t go wrong.
Shape your eyebrows
We tend to think that well-shaped eyebrows define a woman’s face. It is a good idea to reshape and tidy them, but use a professional for this, as just one wrong move can ruin your whole face. Go to a beautician at least 3 days beforehand, as the area around the brows may be red after tidying. If you have decided to change their shape permanently, our advice is to go at least a week beforehand.
Turn on your glow
Proms are at the end of May, when sunny days are still few and far between! A tan, however, is one of the seven things prom-goers never skip. Some like to use self-tanning lotion, but we know many girls prefer a sunbed. A tan is of course not compulsory, but it is nice to have that natural matte glow that makes skin look sun-kissed. We recommend going at least 2–3 weeks in advance so your tan has time to settle.
Do a trial make-up and hairstyle!
One of the most important of the 7 things to do before your prom is your make-up and hairstyle. You are often indecisive and don’t dare to experiment with make-up and hair! In your place, we wouldn’t take the risk either! Many prom-goers have never had professional make-up and hair done in their lives, so it is a good idea to do trial runs. Once you have chosen your Terani Couture prom dress, it is time for a trial make-up and hairstyle. They matter not only for you but also for your make-up artist and hairdresser, who on the day of your prom will know what kind of eyeshadow you like, what colour your lips should be and what your complexion should look like. As for the hairstyle, again you are the one who must decide whether to go for loose, tousled curls or a sleek bun revealing your elegant bare back – try several different styles to feel what will make you feel your best!
Take tons of photos
The last thing on your prom list should be this – photos! Make an effort to choose a good photographer to capture this unforgettable moment of your life. We at Terani Couture love the gorgeous photos you send us after the prom. Take lots of photos with your family, relatives and friends that you will keep forever. Take photos of yourself – you are the star of the evening, you and your prom dress. And don’t forget to snap a few shots with the whole class – over the years they will remind you of the best days of your life, days when life was still a song!
With this checklist you can be sure you will have the perfect prom! Make sure you do it in style and browse some of our beautiful dress options from Terani Couture.
