If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been dreaming of how you’ll look on your wedding day since you were a child. Now that you’re engaged and are having to decide on a dress, hairstyle and make-up, it can feel overwhelming. My biggest piece of advice is to choose a look that feels right for you. If you don’t usually wear make-up, then going into your big day with a full face of product can make you feel uncomfortable and likewise, if you wear make-up on a daily basis, then going without it might make you feel naked. It’s all about finding a style that takes your normal look and elevates it to a new level – one that makes you look and feel like the best version of yourself. Talk to your hair and make-up artists; they’re the experts and have helped hundreds of brides get ready for their wedding, so they’ll have suggestions that can make your normal look bridal-ready.
Make sure you book a hair and make-up trial; it’s the perfect time to sit with your supplier, talk through your look and ask any questions that you may have. It also means that you can try several looks, so if the idea you have in your head doesn’t look quite like you imagined, then it doesn’t matter; you can keep trying styles until you find the perfect look for you.
To help give you some inspiration, we’ve asked some of the region’s top suppliers for their beauty tips and trend predictions for 2025.
Happy planning!

| Just keep rolling along with Tisserand Armomatherapy Rollerballs |
| |
Essential oils have the ability to switch up our emotional and mental state, but if you're new to aromatherapy, getting started can feel like a bit of a minefield. The easiest and most effective way to experience their power is all about pairing them with your pulse points according to Tisserand Aromatherapy and their small but mighty rollerballs help to do just that. "Your pulse points are the parts of the body where your blood is closest to the skin," explains Jo Kellet, Tisserand Aromatherapy Essential Oil Expert. "Applying here allows for fast absorption and quicker results. To maximise the benefit of both your olfactory senses and your pulse points, it's best to place them where your nose can still get a whiff!"
