Michele Paradise has worked with 1000s of brides, giving them confidence and up-to-the-minute tips and techniques.
An ex-fashion model, life-coach and hypnotherapist who was trained by Paul McKenna PhD, she is recognised as the world's leading expert on coaching brides.
Here are some of her top tips for making a happy bride:
Always buy your wedding shoes in the afternoon or early evening when your feet are at their largest. Feet swell during the day.
Cover new wedding shoes with cut off tights, wear them every day for 15/30 minutes to break them in at least a month before the wedding.
Know your body shape before buying the wedding dress. Are you a triangle, circle, rectangle, inverted triangle or hourglass? Know before you buy!
Practice smiling daily so that your face doesn't hurt on your wedding day! Smiling releases endorphins so you will feel great as well.
Looking for your best angle? Get a friend to photograph you with a digital camera, up-load the photos on your laptop and repeat until you get it right.
