Emma was married on 25th June and had the fabulous Megan and Jacqueline pampering her and her girls on the day, how gorgeous do they all look!

Hello Powder Room.

I had my wedding hair and make-up done on the 25th June this year by Megan and Jac at the Emporium.

I have to say that they were absolutely amazing.  They knew exactly what I was after and I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect job.  The girls and my mum all looked fab and I think I end up pretty lovely myself.  Haha.  

I have attached some pictures from the photographer to showcase the wonderful work they did. 

Kind Regads and a big thank-you for making my day so pretty.

It is rumoured that the larger-than-life Kim Kardashian is having not one but TWO perfect wedding dresses designed by the amazing Vera Wang. She has met with the designer in New York and again in LA. Vera Wang was also the designer for Kim’s sister Khloe’s dress for her wedding to Lamar Odom in 2009 so they are already well known to each other. Khloe has said of the designer working with her sister – ‘I love her, and I feel like when you think of weddings, you think of Vera Wang. I think it would be a perfect fit”, according to the Daily Mail.

Below are a few images that are predictions for Kim’s wedding day dress(es!)

While Kim is sweating it out in the gym with her TWO personals trainers to fit into her TWO gorgeous dresses, let’s take a moment to imagine what hair and makeup look she may choose for her big day.

Kim is famous for her smoky eyes. luscious long lashes and signature nude lips. She is also a big fan of the NARS blush in the amazing peachy-pink colour “Orgasm”.

Here are a couple of gorgeous hair and makeup styles which we predict may be her chosen wedding day look:-

Glowing, nude bridal makeup with a soft smokey eye, understated yet elegant and classic-

Or will she choose a more 1950s pinup girl style makeup with bold lips and more natural eyes like below? She has mentioned her bridal look will have a 50s twist so our bets are on a look like this

For her wedding day hair will she choose an elegant upstyle like below…?

Or a glamourous retro downstyle..??

Only time will tell but us girls at the Powder Room are eagerly awaiting the first images of the blushing bride as she walks down the aisle any day now!

Sarah and Karen attended the Hillstone St Lucia Wedding showcase last Thursday night, and the girls were excited to meet so many new Brides to be!.  It’s so lovely to see the Groom’s to be as well… and the sparkling engagement rings, so pretty!

It’s so beautiful to see a couple soooo in love and Toni and Dan are just smitten!

Toni’s gorgeous day was held at the Maleny Manor and her amazing dress is a Maggie Sottero design. The day was captured in style by Studio Impressions and Net Productions. Hair and makeup was incredible with very elegant, romantic upstyles with great shape and detail and soft smokey eyes with glowing skin and Powder Room’s own lipstick in “Only You” and lipgloss “Pink Champagne”.

We got goosebumps watching their beautiful Net Productions wedding video and wanted to share it with you! You’ll see our girls, Megan and Rebecca working their magic

Teresa and Ryan were married on the 29th May. Teresa and her bridal party were absolutely gorgeous girls and were pampered by our super Wedding hair and make up stylist, Jody on the day.

The look was very glamorous and romantic with the hair in soft curls and flawless makeup in warm natural tones, with lashings of lashes of course! Teresa’s gorgeous hair clip was handmade by Lila Designs

We wish Teresa and Ryan a lifetime of happiness together
