Tips for Finding the Right Beauty Therapist for Your Wedding Day

Your wedding is by far one of the biggest days of your life and there is an awful lot of pressure on the bride to look her very best - not a hair out of place, not a blemish in sight and not a single chipped nail on her fingers or toes. For many women, this can mean numerous visits to beauty salons and hairdressers from as early as 12 months before the wedding. But can you be sure that the professional beautician you choose is the right person for the job?

Bridal Teeth Whitening

On your wedding day you’ll be smiling from the moment you wake up, until the carriages arrive for your guests at midnight, so you’ll want to ensure your teeth are up to the challenge. Not only can that, feeling confident every time you smile transform your wedding photos into memories you’ll treasure forever.

However, professional dental whitening procedures can cost the earth, and can also cause tooth-sensitivity long after treatment.

Kerry Capewell advice for brides in the lead up to the big day

Kerry Capewell, Hair Colour Expert advice for brides

Kerry Capewell, Hair Colour Expert for the UK Hair Colour Helpline (0845 601 8129) has this advice for brides in the lead up to the big day:

"Try and keep hair as natural as possible - maybe using low lighting/highlighting techniques, in twoshades either lighter or darker than your natural shade, as this creates a more subtle change of colour. Remember, you want to be pleased with your wedding photos for the rest of your life - fashionable shades may look great now but perhaps not in 20 years!

Bridal and Honeymoon Hair Care Tips

On average, how long does hair take to do on the day- is a hair rehearsal really necessary?

The time needed to perfect a wedding day hairstyle depends entirely on the look each bride opts for. If a simple blow-dry is chosen, 45 minutes should suffice so allow yourself an hour for hair on the big day, or if you are having a more complicated up do or intricate style you need to allow for at least 2 hours, particularly if the style will require setting first. A trial run is essential to ensure your style will stay in place throughout your big day and that you are comfortable wearing it for so long. You can also use your trial to test how long you need to allow for your hair on the day of your wedding.

Last Minute Bridal Beauty

It’s the night before the wedding and you’ve planned everything down to a tee: the venue looks amazing, the groomsmen and bridesmaids have their outfits pressed and ready to go and your flowers are due to arrive at 10AM sharp the next day. Now it’s time to take some time out for yourself to ensure you’re relaxed, calm and ready for the big day.

1. Take some time out “The night before take some time to unwind and treat yourself to a leisurely soak in the bath” suggests Georgie Cleeve, Founder of OSKIA nutritional skincare.

Be calm and stress-free in the run-up to your wedding

Planning your wedding can be one of the most stressful periods of your life so it’s important to keep your nerves in check as you put your wedding plans into place.

Maxine Stead, founder of health and wellbeing spa Alexandra House, advises how you can stay stress-free to ensure you’ll not only enjoy the big day but also take your good health on your honeymoon and back home again to start your new married life.

Creating balance is important for both your mind and body. If you don’t look after yourself, you’ll get run down and risk becoming ill, or you’ll turn into the dreaded bridezilla and stress out your nearest and dearest as well as yourself! Worse still, you may become disorganised and forget about something crucial.
