Picture taking.

We all want to capture every little piece of our weddings. Whether its candids, the arrangements, the dress. But in most pictures, the bride and grooms lovely faces are in the pictures. Now this is one
important day in someones life, so looking your best is a must. Who wants to look bad at their wedding?!

Most pictures contain what in them? Smiles. And smiles consist of lips and teeth. It's a big focal point in a picture, so we want all you beautiful ladies to have the best smiles on your wedding day. So here are some tips in creating that perfect pearly white smile everyone wants.

Tip No. 1 Brush em

Yes brushing your teeth is a no brainer, but what are you brushing them with? Ditch that old toothbrush you've been using for the past year and pick up a new one. Dentists recommend changing a toothbrush every 3 months.

Tip No. 2 Whiten

There are so many ways now a days to whiten your teeth ranging from all different price points. If you've got the money to spend, visit your local dentist for a whitening treatment. Or, head to CVS and pick up some whitening products. Crest is known for their great whitening strips that have lasting results of 12 months! You can find the link here. Colgate recently came out with a toothbrush set that comes with a toothbrush and a teeth whitening pen! This is great for those of us who are on the run all the time.You can find the link here. There are also many different toothpastes that contain whitening effects that with adding a whitening tool will really help.

DIY! There is also a DIY option for us ladies who love to be crafty and like to save money!

What you need:
toothpaste
baking soda
hydrogen peroxide
water

Directions:
In a small bowl, or container with lid so you can save it, take a little toothpaste and mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Then mix 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide and a half teaspoon of water. Put the paste on toothbrush and brush for 2 minutes. You can do this once a week until you have gotten results you wanted, then limit to brushing with the paste to once a month.

Tip No. 3 Wear lipstick

Now that your teeth a perfectly white, all you need a bright color to make them pop in those pictures. Truly in any situation that you will be photographed, wearing lipstick is a must. The flash and light will wash out your smile, not giving your face much color. Now if you're not the type to go bold with a red, then don't. Wear a color that makes you feel like yourself. (But if you will wear red, do it!) And shade of pink or purple will give your lips and teeth that wow factor. These are our favorites with links below!
