The New Bride The brides of late have been looking for more of a non-traditional wedding - from time of year to any day of the week, understated, unique and price savvy. It’s a good idea to use a wedding planner, even for portions of the day. (A highly recommend wedding planner is Lesbia at Savvy Weddings. Check her out at: www.mysavvywedding.com) Planning is the key and following are recommendations for hair and make-up that will lead to a smooth wedding day: • Book hair and make-up appointments for yourself and the wedding party at least 6 months in advance. Also schedule any aesthetic services, manicures, pedicures, etc., on the week of the wedding. • Book hair and make-up trials for yourself and those in the wedding party one to two weeks prior to the big day. (For the bride, a trial is a must; the rest of the party could just go for a consultation.) • Book your colouring, facials, and waxing at least a week prior to the wedding. This will leave room for the skin to calm down and colour to settle in. • On your wedding day, make someone else responsible for remembering the veil, other things for the hair, make-up, and an umbrella (just in case). • Most of all - remember to have fun on your wedding day; do not sweat the small stuff - just let the day happen.

The Perfect Mess Mess things up this fall with a not so structured look. Whether you wear your hair up, down or in a braid, make sure it’s soft, subtle and not so perfect! Neutralize fall and winter’s bold fashions by toning down your make-up with natural earthy colours. Try a soft smoky eye but skip the liner and just apply mascara. Finish it with a nude lip colour and a hint of blush and you’re ready to go!
