Real Bride – Kim Blanco’s Wedding Day

Monday, October 26th, 2009

We love to hear back from our bride’s after their big day. To know that we made them feel so gorgeous on the most special day of their lives really does give us a rush :)

I wish to sincerely thank you for the wonderful job you did with my wedding hair and makeup, it was just beautiful. It made the day all that much more relaxed to know that I was in the hands of true artists! – Kim Blanco

Kate Dorney’s Wedding Day

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Kate and her bridal party looked absolutely stunning on the big day. The theme was simple and elegant which they pulled off perfectly. Karen had looked after Kate’s sister, Anna’s Wedding a few years ago, so when Kate became engaged, she knew exactly where she wanted to come to be pampered on her special day.

Kate wanted a very soft, relaxed curl to her hair with the front pieces swept off her face and gently pinned back. Kate’s bridesmaids had a very classic, elegant upstyle which sat softly at the nape of the neck. To achieve the bridesmaid’s hairstyles Karen used hair moulds to give the style security and a lovely shape.

Studio Impressions captured the day beautifully as you can see from the photos below.

Kasey’s Wedding Day Hair & Makeup

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Not only do our brides experience the emotions and excitement on their Wedding day but we also get to share the morning with them and join in with the excitement of making them all look gorgeous on the day. One of our talented Powder Room hairstylists Bridgette, emailed through to us some pictures of our Brisbane bride, Kasey’s Wedding hair. We thought we would like to share some of our memories of Kasey’s special day on the 15th August this year…..

I arrived for an early start of 5am, to be greeted by Kasey’s Vietnamese family. A tea ceremony was one of the traditions prior to the Wedding ceremony. Their home was decorated in traditional Vietnamese style with lots of red, yellow and gold paper lanterns for good luck. Mum was very kind offering traditional sweet Vietnamese coffees. Kasey has the most beautiful long, thick shiny hair a dream to upstyle. A very happy bride no pre Wedding nerves. The bridesmaids wanted a more modern look with a braid in the front twisted up through the back. What a beautiful, very warm and welcoming family. It was such a pleasure to look after their Wedding day. Kasey’s Wedding updo really looked amazing with her beautiful dress. It was a pleasure to be a part of their special day.

Dominica’s Beautiful Day

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Karen had the pleasure of looking after the hair and makeup for Dominica, her Mum and Sister on Dominica’s Wedding day as they chose to come in to our New Farm Studio to be pampered.

When Dominica came in for her trial, she was concerned, as she thought that she didn’t have enough length in her hair to create the look she was after. However Karen worked her magic and used a hair padding and two hairpieces to create Dominica’s amazing look! The padding and the hair pieces were added at the nape of the neck. We just loved this soft romantic style.

Dominica was thrilled with the result:

Dear Karen and The Girls at The Powder Room,

Thankyou for creating such beautiful hair and makeup for myself, my sister and mother on my Wedding Day. The entire experience leading up to and on the day was so fantastic and you and your team were always so patient, professional and also very down to earth. We all received so many compliments on the day, especially my hairstyle! Everything was exactly how I imagined, and I sincerely appreciate how much you listened to my ideas. Karen, you have a beautiful team and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending your business.


Warmest Regards,

Dominica

P.S. Hope you enjoy the pictures that show off your amazing talents!! Pete, my husband was especially blown away!!

Love Letters

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

We love to receive letters and emails from our gorgeous brides telling us how perfect their day was and how much they loved their hair and makeup!

Leading up to the big day there’s always a lot going on with planning and preparation, it’s nice to know when you wake up on your wedding day what really counts is your love for each other and sharing that with your family and friends. This always shows through the lovely photos we receive back from our brides.

Each month we’d like to share with you in the laughter, beauty and love of one of our beautiful bride’s special days.

This month our gorgeous bride is Victoria de Ryck. She wrote us the following email after her wedding day:

“I am writing to say thank you for your fantastic hair and make-up service leading up to and on the day of my wedding. Specifically, I would like to say a big thank you to my stylists for being so wonderful! They were both extremely friendly, professional and fantastic at doing my bridal party’s hair and make-up. The girls looked fantastic! I have attached some photos to illustrate what a great job the girls did. I have no hesitation in recommending your service to friends and family looking for hair/make-up professionals. Thanks again!!!

Victoria and her bridal party looked absolutely stunning on the wedding day and kindly sent us the following photos. Photography by Brisbane Bridal Photographers.

avatarHello Girls at the Powder Room,
I just wanted to send a quick email thanking you for your help with my wedding on the 10th December 2011. It was the most perfect day (despite the rain). We had Bernie come out to do our makeup. She did an amazing job and we were all incredibly happy with our makeup! So a HUGE thankyou to Bernie - our wedding would not have been the same without her there to beautify us all!
