The less-than-perfect-skinned among us have real questions like, "Should I get a facial the week before my wedding?" and, "How good is my photographer at Photoshop?" But no one wants to depend on a computer program for the appearance of perfect skin when the real thing can actually be... a real thing. Our friends at Blo-Out Lounge gave Inside SCV the 411 on how to achieve picture perfection - in real life!

Get a Facial Actually, get four of them, scheduling the last about a week before your wedding. Start with the first in the series no less than six weeks prior to the big day. Score an affordable customized facial package from Blo so that you can work it into the budget and ask for recommendations on at-home care to further enhance your treatments.

Book a Bridal Trial No, really. That Pinterest photo you have coveted since before you even met your groom? It's hot - on her. Find out if the same can be said for you by booking a bridal trial about two months before your wedding date. Blo will make sure to book you with a stylist and artist who are also available on the date of your wedding to help you reduce those day-of jitters.

Share the Love Ever heard of that too-real incident of a bridesmaid showing up in full-on rocker-chick makeup to a demure garden wedding? Yeah, that can happen - unless you take the power back into your own bridezilla hands and have Blo take care of your entire party, from Grandma to Flower Girl! They can beautify big bridal parties all at once.
