Last Tuesday night was a lovely night, with lots of “Brisbane Brides to be” at our Wedding event. If you are a bride an planning your Wedding day , The Powder Room was the place to be last Tuesday night!  It was such a great night and the Tara from “Style magazine” came just to photograph me!  Oopps I mean all of us:) It was so nice to see Tara again, we last caught up when Tar and her Mum cam into our studio just before Mother’s day to have make up lessons.


The evening started with our brides arriving to be greeted with a goodie bag, glass or champagne and a cupcake from “Judy C” Cakes, we even had gluten free cakes!  The studio smelled amazing with Glenda’s Pradella’s gorgeous flowers!


Lots of helpful hints in planning your big day were shared, did you know at Emporium hotel that they even have a pillow menu, Darren helps you plan your day for all Weddings at Emporium……what about that when choosing your dress don’t choose shoes with too much bling as they catch on the inside of your dress, thanks Ann and Gill from Paddington Weddings, such gorgeous dresses! Miriam from Body Essence day spa, talked about what happens if you get a pimple and how to have that perfect back in your gown.

Rebecca from Hypoxi talked to the girls, and one man in the audience (poor fellow!) about how to spot reduce, the latest sensation in weight loss and cellulite reduction, it’s a pity I’m not getting married again:(


Cath from Vivid Photography shared with us their amazing candid shots and how to plan your timing for getting the most amazing looks on your Wedding day. Leanne from Lila designs wowed us all with sparkly bling to enhance every dress, I just loved the sole less jewelled shoes for beach Weddings! The Photo booth hire was such a hit, can’t imagine what that would be like at the end of a night after a few too many glasses of champagne!

Prizes that were won on the evening included a high tea for four guest for a high tea at Emporium hotel, a gorgeous Wedding hair comb, and make up basket form Powder Room, engagement photography voucher and a Wedding clutch bag.


Check out some of our photo’s from the evening. If you are having trouble choosing your perfect Wedding style, see the Powder Room Gallery for lots of style looks!

5 Tips to A Perfect Tan

1. Exfoliate your body thoroughly, being sure to include your elbows, knees and feet.  Make sure all waxing is done at least 24 hours before.

2. Make sure you have showered and have no deodorant and moisturisers on the skin which can interfere with adhesion of the spray tan.

3. Wear loose fitting dark clothing.

4. Do not shower or exercise until the tan is fully developed.

5. Moisturise to hold onto the colour
