I
remember my school prom like it was yesterday – choosing my dress, picking my
heels, deciding on colours and hairstyles and makeup. Despite having 372 blisters by the end, I danced the night away in heels and wore one of my favourite dresses to date.
Just
a month ago, it was my own little sister’s prom and I was the lucky candidate
to help her prepare for her special night. Choosing her dress was definitely
the biggest decision that we had to make – where do you even start?! Luckily,
we didn’t have much to worry about, as there are plenty of online dress stores like PromDressShop.com that provide
you with a huge range of choices – different styles, colours, lengths,
materials… and you don’t even have to leave the house to look!
Here
are a few tips on helping a young girl, whether it be your sister, daughter or
friend, get ready for prom:
Dress
It’s likely that she will
already have some sort of dress or colour in mind, but it’s good to sit down
and directly discuss dresses with her. Let her look through websites herself,
and get a real feel for the type of dress she wants to wear. Keep in mind that
cheaper does not necessarily mean better, but the price also won’t directly
impact the appearance of the gown. It’s also a good idea to set a budget before
you begin looking for dresses, as young girls to tend to have pricey taste (I
know I did when shopping for prom dresses!). Set a budget and then there’s no
chance she can set her heart on a dress that’s going to break your bank. Check
out Prom Dress Shop and follow them on Google+ for great dress
ideas that won’t cost you the earth!
· Hair
If you’re
booking her into a hairdressers or salon for prom, make sure you book early as
they can get pretty full and busy around prom time. Once the dress has arrived
(make sure you order it early as shoes, hair and makeup still needs to be
chosen depending on the dress!) have a few hair trial sessions. It’s a good
idea to put the dress on and see what hairstyles best suit it – for example,
having her hair tied up with a strapless dress would look very elegant.
Makeup
For my sister’s prom, we
booked her into a hair and beauty salon with her friends. For mine, however, I
did my makeup myself! If you can’t really afford to get hair and makeup done
professionally that’s absolutely fine – there’s almost no need to break the
bank when you can do it at home for free with a good makeup palette. Look through different methods and
designs with her and choose a look that is pretty and not too hard.
Make sure you practice before the day too – Youtube tutorials can always be
helpful.
If
you’re getting someone ready for prom, just remember to tell them to have fun –
hopefully it’s a night they remember.
I love this! I lucked out with my Proms in high school. I borrowed dresses from my neighbors, did my own makeup and nails, and splurged on an updo at the salon- which I had to book two months in advance! But it was definitely worth it. xX love this post!

Prom was so good! We actually had two, one in year 11 and year 13. Hope your sister has a fab time!
