Taking advantage of expert advice whenever possible can help ease the pressure of preparation.

Carley Roney, co-founder and editor in chief of the online The Knot, has been hailed by Vogue magazine as “cyberland’s Martha Stewart” and is a frequent guest on NBC’s “Today Show.” Here she shares some helpful beauty tips to get you ready for your big day:

• Eye “do.” Late nights and teary mo-ments can take their toll on your eyes.

If you’re greeted by swollen, puffy lids and redness on the morning of your wedding, cover your eyes with hot tea bags and elevate your feet — this helps curb the blood flow.

• Lip service. Prep your pucker: Start by smoothing away cracks and creases with a moisturizing lip balm — containing vitamin E. You can also exfoliate lips with a warm toothbrush or fine-grained scrub.

Keep in mind that certain shades of lipstick can accentuate stained or yellow teeth, so stick to soft pinks or natural-looking reds to make your teeth look whiter.

• Smile secrets. Your wedding day is a smile marathon, so your teeth should be ready to go.

• Hair “do’s.” Consult a professional and choose a hairstyle that complements the shape of your face. Try it with your headpiece or veil in advance, and remember that your wedding day is not the time for a radical change.

• Balancing act. Your face shape and veil must work together for your overall look.

To balance the two, a good rule of thumb is “opposites attract.” For example, if your face is oblong, complement it with a bit of width by choosing a fuller veil paired with a wide tiara.

Likewise, you can help to narrow a rounder face by going with a veil that falls along the side of the face.

• Don’t forget to take special care during the week before your wedding.

Eat right, drink plenty of water, avoid trying new products and cosmetic procedures, and get plenty of rest.

It’s important to plan ahead and stay relaxed, and if you’re feeling stressed, “just smile,” Roney said. “That’s right — smiling produces a natural high.”
