The bride's preparation, without the rush

The bride's preparation isn't just the wedding day. It's a series of small appointments over months: a makeup trial, a dress fitting, care sessions. Spread out early, they let the bride reach the wedding rested instead of worn out.

Spread it over the weeks

• 3 months before: choose the makeup artist and the hair salon, and book them. According to Masrawy (September 2026), makeup packages start at about EGP 5,000 and can reach EGP 25,000; the details are in the wedding price guide.
• 2 months before: a makeup and hair trial in the look the bride wants, photographed in daylight.
• 1 month before: the care sessions she's used to. It's best not to try anything new on her skin or hair at this point.
• 2 weeks before: the last dress fitting, in the shoes she'll wear.
• The last week: good sleep, few appointments, and everything for the day packed in one bag.

The wedding-day bag

• A copy of the day's schedule and the vendors' numbers.
• Tissues, pins, and a small needle and thread.
• Comfortable shoes for the end of the night.
• A phone charger, water and a light snack.

Health

For any question about health, medicines or particular foods before the wedding, ask a doctor. This guide is about planning and timing only.
