I've looked at hundreds, if not thousands of brides to date. They have such specific demands about clothes, shoes, jewelry, under garments, menhdi, hair and so forth. What I have noticed is that most don't take in account their teeth.....!
Discolored, unclean teeth..!
Why?
If you're going to spend thousands of $$ on your wedding why not pay a visit to the dentist while you're at it. Get a good cleaning and whitening done.
It will be one of the best investments you'll make in your life. Or if you want, opt for crest white strips or anything similar.
Your pictures will come out great, your smile won't look dull against the colors around you and your confidence will go through the roof.
I urge brides to consider seeing a dentist before their big day.
Although twice a year is recommended....
I made sure to get my teeth cleaned before my wedding and also got some whitening treatment as well from my dentist. It cost a lot, but it was well worth it! I didn't need a lot so they gave me a take home kit and I only used half of it.
You can get GO SMILE from Sephora. I've heard good things about it but haven't tried it out yet myself.
Iused crest white strips eventho i was very lazy and inconsistent with it but i still saw a big diference. now i still have a bunch left almost two years later, are they safe to use? =/
The professional whitening treatments are too expensive. Can anyone recommend home whitening kits?
You can use crest white strips or any similar brand. Its not very expensive and if you do the 7 day program as indicated, you will see a significant result.

Also, it isn't just brides who should get their teeth cleaned. Grooms should as well. Their smile is just as important.
Absolutely! Its just one of those things you know. You just must.
ps: Unclean teeth -- my pet peeve. Just bothers me when I see people who care so much about their appearance and clothes and shoes and when it comes to basic hygiene, they're lost.
PPS: Similar with some bride's feet. Ever notice that?
Very good point!
I have whitening done on a regular basis anyways. With all that coffee and
haldi in the food, you have to.
One thing I noticed when I attended an arabic wedding was that the bride
had whitened her teeth too much. Her teeth were chalky white...like Ross (in Friends).
It was so akward.
Like Sara, both hubs and i used the Crest whitening strips too and i even though i barely made it to half the package, it worked wonders. Now the rest of them are just lying around and at the moment i am not in a position to use them so i need a natural whitener. Any ideas?

I use Pepsodent whitening toothpaste, it works quiet well too.
also, on the same note, i think manicures should be a requirement for grooms too, alongwith the teeth whitening. most men's hands are disgusting- i slotted hubby into his first (and so far, only) manicure appointment a couple of days before the wedding as he's a nail biter and his hands looked gross. i was like, you'll be shaking hands with a hell of a lot of people and wearing your wedding band- your nails cannot look gross. thankfully he's snapped out of the habit but i plan on springing another manicure on him soon- it just looks neater and cleaner and more polished.
^ i don't know about that, sara.... maybe call crest to find out?
we were using crest whitening toothpaste and it worked great. it just gave that extra bit of sparkle, u know?
All crest brands have some ingredients coming from pork,except Crest Cavity and Crest Cavity Protection.
I called customer service a month ago to make it sure.
My brothers fiance has bushy ungroomed eyebrows, id like to boss her about and ask her to fliiping sort them for the wedding if not im going to sit on her and do them myself on the valima as i;ll be doing her valima makeup. or can you guys suggest a tactful way of getting her to do them herself. I'm thinking of the pictures now.
but some girls dont believe that trimming/shaping eyebrows is allowed in islam. it's not a hygiene issue and personal grooming is usually subjective (or is it objective? i forget which word)......have u talked to her abt it? just be like... "have u thought about doing ur eyebrows?" maybe she just been lazy abt it or never had an interest or is very very very morally opposed to it
i think i may leave it for a while, let her go talk to a few beauticians for the baraat day, they may suggest it to her, then i may broach(sp?) the subject with her. she wore a half sleeved outfit for the engagement and was chatting very freely with my brother, if she's religious im sure she would've kept at a distance as he's still a non mehram etc. i dunno ppl have funny views on religion.
My friend recently got married. She smiled the entire wedding while her husband looked rather 'unhappy' -- not one smile.
I met them after the wedding and he was smiling and I realized why he didn't break a smile at the wedding.
Perhaps I should give him a dental gift card for his birthday...
Anyway, men also need to realize its also the most significant days of their lives and the pictures from the day will always be there. In fact, passed down generations. They really should make an effort to make it perfect.
Hey, nothing is shinier that a million dollar smile...!!
