Bridal Beauty Countdown: 2 Weeks Before

Hair Head to your salon for a final trim. Your goal is to look fresh and get rid of any split ends, period. You'll also want to freshen up your color. Whether you're getting highlights or a root touch-up, now is an ideal time to check the chore off your to-do list.

Nails Shop around to find a pale polish that complements both your skin tone and your personality (you'll want your own bottle so you can handle any last-minute fixes). Charlize Theron's L.A. manicurist Libbie Simpkins suggests opting for sheer pinks and peaches, hues that won't distract from your dress.

Body Go in for a spray tan. If you're simply in need of a little color, "a professional application will give you the most even tan front and back," says aesthetician Cindy Barshop. "And if you don't like it, you'll still have enough time to exfoliate it off before the big day." Ideally, you should have another session two days before the wedding. If you can't, Barshop recommends using a tan-extending moisturizer for the next 10 days, then switching to a self-tanning mist for a last-minute color boost.

Don't forget to...
• Break in your wedding shoes by wearing them around the house.
• Use a hair mask twice—this week and next week—for extra conditioning.
