Calling all Brides.................

                   Aisle say 'I do' to looking beautiful on your most important day to date.

So you've picked your bridesmaids, decided who's not being invited, your dress is being delivered so all you have to do is make sure your looking amazing. Remember all eyes will be on your every move, so for the next 6 months you can focus on getting ready for those photos that you will have to look back on in years to come...........so follow our tips in the lead up to this most fabulous day and you'll not only feel, but look stunning.

6 months to go...

Say ‘I do’ to skincare that works:
First, start a good cleansing program, twice a day........ah, no ifs or buts:

• Guinot Lait Hydra Fraicheur and Lotion Hydra Fraicheur or Anesi Aqua Vital Demaquelent or Aqua Vital Mousse.
• Eye Make-up remover and cleanser and Toner at night.
• Daily moisturizer........eg Guinot crème Hydra Beaute, crème Nutri-Confort or Anesi Aqua Vital Serum and Aqua Vital Moisturiser
• An exfoliant, Guinot Gommage Biologique followed by Masque Essential. (use just once / twice a week)

If you’ve got sensitive skin then the Guinot sensitive range is perfect.

5 months to go...

Say 'I do' to facials, facials, facials...
Now is the time to start prepping your skin for the million photos you’ll be appearing in. Book a course of microdermabrasion treatments (every bride we know has sworn by them!) One every 3 weeks until your wedding day and you’ll see tired skin, fine lines, break outs and even old acne scars faded, leaving your skin radiating with good health – we promise!

We can do a program for you of 10-15 treatments, which would include Microdermabrasion, Glycolic and Hydradermie..........this would be the perfect combination to achieve a flawless skin.

3 or 4 months to go…

Say ‘I do’ to perfect hair and make-up!
It's also the time to start your search for a wedding day hairstylist and make-up artist, best make-up artists come from Anne Morrissey @ The International Make-Up Academy http://www.theinternationalmakeupacademy.com/

Hairstylist would have to be Dylan Bradshaw, unless your planning on having the hair you've always wanted but didn't dare to go there......Hair Extensions.........now that will be Pamela Laird @ The Beauty Parlour. This is a transformation most elegant.........Hair Extensions not only give you perfect 'wedding day hair', but perfect 'honeymoon hair' too. Well worth checking out.

Say ‘I do’ to perfect nails.

Now, torn or bitten nails are not a good look.......think when your signing the register and all those pics. You can either start having regular manicures or use products at home to give your cuticles that healthy groomed appearance, either way they need to look perfect.

You can decide to go for the 3week manicure, but the cuticles will still need to be sorted for this treatment. The 3 week manicure and pedicure will look fabulous not only for the wedding day but right through the honeymoon too. You can choose a colour, french or natural, all will last at least 3 weeks. If you opt for natural you can paint over them with your favourite colour after the wedding day. Brilliant.

1 month to go…

Say ‘I do’ to bringing it all together!

Now your on the home run, as it were. Skin is looking fabulous, so time to make decisions about whether you are having an up style, down style, hair extensions, nail extensions so you will need to book your team and make sure everyone knows what you want.

You might also want to decide if you want to wear mascara or have the fantastic Mink Lash Extensions. Like with Hair Extensions, lash extensions make you 'good to go' no matter what. Once the hair is perfect and the eyes have definition, the 'getting ready' bit is halved. We would however suggest you have your lashes tinted either way, (patch test needed for tinting) and of course the brows defined.

Decide too on whether you are going to have waxing and tanning done (patch test will be needed for waxing).

Avoid becoming a bridezilla after all your hard work.
