Piercing Tips When Wearing them On Your Big Day

As a soon-to-be married bride or groom, your wedding is the one of the days of your life where you can go all out and do whatever you want to look the best for your special day.

From choosing the best venue and theme for your wedding to getting the most beautiful attire, makeup and hair, almost everything you plan comes to that day.

So, when it comes to enhancing your demeanor for your big day, piercings can be a great choice. Whether you want a modern wedding, or are planning something traditional, you can never go wrong with the right piercings as a part of your nuptials ensemble.

So, if you’re planning to enhance your presence with some beautiful piercings on your wedding day, here are some tips on how to wear your piercings carefully on your wedding day.

Piercings for To-Be Brides

From planning the proposal to saying your ‘I Do’ at the altar, a wedding is a long and memorable journey indeed. To add to this celebration and your overall wedding look, you can choose between multiple piercing options.

Let’s take a look at some of the different types of piercings that you can get done for your wedding day.

  1. Ear Piercings

You will most likely be wearing some form of earrings at your wedding. You may choose to get ear piercings on the lobe of the ear, which is the most common type. While the most obvious choice seems right, you can also experiment with your upper lobe, helix, conch, rook, and flat parts of your ear.

Having a piercing in these parts of the ear will not only make your wedding look unique but you can also pair it with some beautiful studs and hoops to make the look stick.

  1. Nose Piercings

A beautifully studded nostril piercing certainly looks breathtaking. Even complimenting it with the right hoops is the way to go. However, if you want something a little quirky, go for either a septum piercing or bridge piercing.

Especially if the theme of your wedding compliments an edgy look, having these piercings can be your bet.

  1. Lip Piercings

The right kind of lip makeup on your wedding day can make you a thousand times prettier. But complimenting it with the right lip piercing is just the icing on the cake.

Whether you use lip studs or lip rings, you can get gorgeous results by getting a piercing on or around your lips. The most common type of lip piercings are studded cupid’s bow and the lower lip stud and ring.

Piercing Tips

While having the right kind of piercing on your wedding day can certainly make you look distinguished and chic, it’s important to keep in mind that piercings require attention and care.

To get the most out of your piercing experience, follow these tips given below:

  1. Ample Time

Piercings take a long time to heal, especially when they are on a sensitive part of your body, like your face. Schedule your piercing appointment at least a month in advance to avoid looking swollen on your wedding day.

  1. Pre-care

Avoid alcohol a day before and on the day of your piercing. By making the blood thinner, alcohol can not only inhibit your thinking but also make your pain tolerance lower. Also eat and drink at least 2 hours before your appointment.

  1. Hydration is Key

Before and after your piercing, keep your body hydrated. It will not only make the process easier but also speed the healing process.

  1. Post-care

After the piercing, keep the area clean and untainted by unclean hands. Avoid removing the jewelry for at least a few weeks as it can close the piercing area.

Before sleeping, apply a thin coating of petroleum jelly on the area to heal and protect it. It’s also recommended to keep an eye out for any swelling or pus, as it may indicate an infection.

Conclusion

Planning an entire wedding certainly requires your one hundred percent attention to each and every aspect of your special day, especially when it comes to your wedding ensemble. 

Using different types of piercings can be a great way to enhance your features and look like the belle of the ball.

However, ensuring proper care and cleanliness of these piercings is essential for having a stress-free wedding party. And, following the tips given above is a sure shot way to achieve that. 

So, make your day count by looking and feeling your best with the piercings of your choice.
