It is that time of the year when you are eagerly looking for the best Prom dress available in town. We need to agree to the fact that getting ready for prom is more like planning a mini wedding for yourself as it just has to be perfect! ;)

 There so many preparations that need to be done for the actual day of the prom. Apart from finding a date for yourself, you also need to have that perfect dress, shoes, and bag and not to mention Makeup. So how do you start preparing for your picture perfect prom this year? Here is a list of a few things that can help get you started! This will definitely make your life simpler. :)

 1. Create a Checklist

Yes, you definitely need a checklist as there is a lot to remember and you don’t want to end up having nothing. Plus, who doesn’t like making a checklist – bring out your markers, highlighters and let’s get artsy!

 2. Find a Dress

Finding the perfect dress that suits your body type and style could be a task. This is a very important day and a lot of pictures are going to be taken and cherished forever! First, you will need to decide what kind of look you are going for? Is it going to be cute, sexy, elegant, etc? This will definitely help guide you to finding your perfect outfit.

 3. Find a Date

If you have a date, then make sure you have matching corsages. It wouldn’t hurt to have matching outfit shades too – the pictures will come out so much cuter. And if you don’t have a date? Who cares! Who says you need someone to ask you out to prom? Go to prom with a group of girlfriends! Get ready together, take lots of photos, have fun in the limousine and dance the night away at prom!

 4. Makeup, Shoes, and Accessories

It is always advisable to practice your makeup before the actual day. You need to look your best and not a disaster on the actual day of the prom. You can always match your shoes with the outfit or you can look for nude shades that can run longer and can work well with any other outfits as well. Have a sleepover with your friends a week before and you all can practice doing your makeup and have a ‘dress rehearsal’. Stage a fashion show with your friends to help you practice for your big day!

 5. Have fun and be you

Lastly, have fun and just be yourself! Nothing is more beautiful than being confident in your own skin. If not, as they say, fake it till you make it. This day is all about having fun with your friends, your boyfriend or your date.

 This day only comes once, so make the most out of it so you can cherish the memories forever. Don’t forget to keep smiling, you never know who is taking your picture ;)

Lots of love,
