Helloo Ladies, I wanted to tell you all about our very 1st Wedding hair and make up showcase, what a lovely intimate night, 15 brides and their friends came along on Tuesday 2nd Feb at our studio in Boutique Bridal studio in New Farm.  A glass of champagne or punch and a piece of desert cake is just what you need after a bit day at work!  Our event was featured in the latest “Village News” paper, check it out to see if your picture is in the social pages…


Natalie from Perfect Potion started the evening, chatting about how to look after yourself in the lead up to the big day, how to avoid those pesky pimples and how to stay calm and relaxed.

It’s such a new experience planning your Wedding day and our evening was filled with lots of little tips to help you along the way.  Sarah demonstrated  airbrushed make up on our lovely model and we started with a softer more natural looking make up and then built it up to a smokier look for the evening.  Karen created a very red carpet boudoir down hairstyle with soft finger waves on the face, then transformed the hair to one side into a low chignon.

The hair was accessorised with a beautiful hair piece from “House of Windsor” and our model was dressed in a beautiful dress for “Bridal on James” new collection for 2010.

Guest Wedding suppliers included “House of Windsor“, “Bridal on James“, “Perfect Potion” and “The Welsh Lady Cakes” .  Each bride received a bag of little pressies including a pair of flexi flats, perfect size to pop in your hand bag.


Sue from The House of Windsor brought along the punch and it was such a hit that we wanted to share the recipe with you…..


Fruit Punch – Iris Collins
1 Bottle Golden Circle orange Crush Cordial (750mls)

1/2 Bottle Golden Circle Lemon Crush Cordial

1 450g Can Orange Juice

850 ml Pineapple & Orange Juice

Mix all the ingredients together and then freeze – it’s better to use small plastic containers as it then easier to make up in smaller quantities (in a jug instead of a large punch bowl).  Generally it’s better to microwave the base to free it up.

Add bottles Lemonade/Gingerale (Schweppes is better as others are too sweet)  Mix half/half for a start. adjust accordingly to taste.

We look forward to seeing you at our next Bridal Showcase, in March, date to be advised!
