bridal guide
Every bride should aim for perfection on her big day, right?
To a certain extent, everyone wants to look like a supermodel, especially if you are a bride. A wedding day gives you a deadline, and forces you to start making a move.
Bride to perfection? This often includes a full face of makeup for that extra glam look in the wedding album.
However, this may not be the right choice for everyone. If you're not accustomed to wearing a lot of makeup, it's important to stay true to your personal style. Instead of opting for a dramatic change, enhance your natural beauty by refining your usual makeup routine.
Consider adding eyelash extensions for a special touch on your wedding day. With the right application, no one will even realise you're wearing false lashes. The key is to avoid anything too extreme or obvious, opting instead for a subtle enhancement of your natural beauty.
Eyelash extensions for brides are currently a popular trend and have been for some time, promising to remain so in the future!
Your eyes are the most expressive feature of your face, and professional eyelash extensions can truly enhance their beauty. With extended lashes, you'll notice a significant difference as they accentuate your face, making you look more beautiful.
For brides who want to ensure their lashes look stunning throughout the entire wedding day, eyelash extensions are an excellent choice. They photograph beautifully, especially in high-resolution images where every detail matters, which are not forgiving. Because the lashes are applied individually to your existing lashes, they appear natural even under close scrutiny from the camera.
With over 12 years of experience in eyelash extensions, we offer a variety of lash styles tailored to your preferences. However, for your wedding day, we highly recommend a soft definition. Too much black or overly fluffy volume can sometimes appear harsh against the delicate palette of a wedding dress.
We also recommend scheduling your first full set at least 6 weeks before your wedding day, particularly if you are new to this treatment. This allows you to "test drive" the lashes and minimise the risk of any adverse reactions just before your big day. Imagine waking up with swollen, red eyes right before your wedding! Even if you have had a patch test, reactions can still occur. READ WHY
Therefore, we highly advise new customers to book their first set 6 or 8 weeks before the wedding to assess any reactions and to return two to four days before the wedding for a fresh set.
We want your wedding day to be absolutely perfect, without any unexpected hiccups. It would be devastating if poorly done eyelash extensions were to dampen your spirits on such a special occasion.
As the bride, you are the focal point of the wedding, with all eyes on you. After meticulously choosing the perfect wedding dress, it's equally important to find the right eyelashes to enhance your look. We are here to assist you in looking absolutely stunning on your big day.
For brides, we recommend opting for matte finish eyelash extensions, often referred to as "photoshoot lashes." These lashes are designed to avoid causing any flare or reflection under flashlights, ensuring your photos turn out perfect.
Our shine-free, luxurious Cashmere Lashes are the epitome of elegance. Incredibly soft and silky to the touch, they offer unparalleled comfort that you'll hardly notice they're there. These lashes weigh 75% less than other marketplace lashes while still creating full, defined, fluttery lashes that complement all eye shapes.
With Cashmere Lashes, we can achieve a variety of bespoke lash looks, making them perfect for brides looking to enhance their natural beauty on their special day.
The added bonus of these is that you can enjoy them throughout your honeymoon as well!

What other factors should be considered?
Brows! Whip those brows into shape before the big day.
We've all been guilty of either over-tweezing or neglecting our brows, resulting in uneven and improperly positioned features on our faces. Now is the time to address this issue and consider professional treatment for this essential facial feature.
Why? When you over-pluck or neglect to shape your eyebrows, you lose the natural contours of your face. However, defining your brows with colour touch and grooming can completely transform your facial expression.
For a classic approach to brow shaping, it's essential to find brows that complement your facial features, as they serve as a reflection of your overall facial symmetry and balance.
Start now by availing yourself of our professional brow services, which we have been providing for over a decade. Did you know that we actually started doing brows before extensions? So, you can trust us to deliver exceptional results.
Having flawless skin should likely be among your top priorities for your wedding day, just as important as finding the perfect venue.
Smooth, radiant skin that has been properly prepared will help your makeup go on evenly and stay in place throughout the day. The healthier your skin appears initially, the more flawless your makeup will look.
If you're fortunate enough to have your skin under control and want to maintain its condition leading up to your wedding, facials are designed to keep your skin in tip-top shape.
During your initial consultation with the beauty therapist, be sure to communicate your goals and needs openly—they're here to listen and cater to your specific requirements. It's essential to work within your budget and considerate of your skin's needs. Avoid overdoing treatments, as post-facial flare-ups are possible. We always advise against trying a new facialist close to your wedding date to prevent any potential risks.
The countdown to your big day has begun, and it's time to start preparing your skin. We recommend starting your skin preparation 8 to 12 weeks before your wedding day.
As dead cells accumulate on the skin's surface, they can diminish its natural radiance by obstructing light reflection, resulting in a dull appearance.
For an effective solution, we recommend a skin peel—a chemical bio-active blend of plant extracts and fruit acids. This treatment gently exfoliates the skin, stimulating renewal and revealing a healthier complexion. Unlike traditional methods like scrubbing or microdermabrasion, skin peels work without causing mechanical damage. Instead, they delicately dissolve dead cells, leaving behind smoother, refreshed, and renewed skin.
If you're concerned about chemical peels, you might want to consider an ultrasonic skin peel as a gentler alternative to traditional mechanical scrubbing or microdermabrasion methods of skin exfoliation.
Here's how it works: First, the skin is prepared to open the pores. Then, an ultrasonic device is used to "jet wash" the skin, similar to washing a car, resulting in fresh, oxygenated skin. This treatment can also help reduce the appearance of pores, similar to the effects of skin peels.
Pay Attention to Your Décolletage
The skin on the neck and chest differs significantly from that of the face and body. The décolletage area has less "fat padding" and is generally more delicate than facial skin. With its tissue-thin texture, it's prone to wrinkling and tends to attract sunlight.
To look stunning in that plunging gown, you may need to give some extra attention to this area. Ask your therapist to include a décolletage treatment in your facial. This will involve gently exfoliating the skin to remove roughness and then nourishing it afterward.
Don’t forget about your hands
Nails should be the perfect accessory to complete your look. Book a professional manicure or opt for nail extensions for gorgeous, glowing hands.
And don't forget about your feet! Treat yourself to a pedicure to remove hard skin, reveal baby-soft feet, and groom your toes.
Anastasia, with love X
