With all the wedding planning and extra stress that can bring why not book a massage too? Be bride tribe ready like these ladies were with Beauty Call - Marie Kelly...

Having your hair styled on your wedding day is going to be one of the things to make you look and feel like a million dollars. A reputable stylist will ensure that your hairstyle complements you, your face shape and your wedding dress. They will also use their skills to make your hair “bullet proof” yet natural looking throughout what will be a long but exciting day. Do your research. Maybe find some images to show your potential stylist so that they can advise you on what would look best. Also, bear in mind that not every style suits everyone. Always always have a trial and be honest about what you like, your hair stylist will want you to feel amazing and they can only do that if they know what you’re feeling on the inside. Take your veil and any hair accessories to your trial so you can see exactly how it will look on the day, and maybe book your make up trial on the same day too to see the overall look.

We also highly recommend that you book the help of a professional make-up artist to make you look your beautiful best. Makeup artists are highly skilled in making your look last the whole day by investing in top of the range makeup and brushes. They are experts at building a flawless coverage so you look like you but at your very best. Many Makeup artists use products that aren’t even on the high street, notably foundations that keep your skin glowing and shine-free so that you can relax and enjoy your ceremony and the celebrations afterwards. Make-up is a very personal thing. As with a hair stylist, don't forget to have a trial beforehand. This session will help you both establish what you like (and dislike) and give the makeup artist a clear view of what may need to be tweaked on the day – stronger eye shadow, a different colour blusher and so on.

You may find someone who does hair and makeup but many stylists work together and even recommend each other so don’t be put off by booking two people, the chances are they already know each other and have worked together before. And finally, after all the prep, trials and on the day beautifying, enjoy the rest of your night knowing your hair and make up will stay put and look just as good through to the evening like this lovely bride by Lisa Ellis Hair & Make Up Artist

And to stay looking amazing after the wedding, think of long lasting beauty treatments that will last through your honeymoon-think gel nails, eyelash tints, and fake tans…Enjoy the pampering!
