Beautiful Bride Claire was married on the 22nd May this year and Judy and Heidi had such a great day spoiling Claire and her bridesmaids!  Just wanted to share some of her gorgeous photo’s from the day.

We loved the loose braid detail across the back of Claire’s low look updo and how softly the front of Claire’s hair fell, it’s great to choose a lower diagonal parting as that way you get the perfect look for that sweeping fringe!  Stay tuned as Powder Room are launching our new collection of  Red carpet latest looks for Wedding day beauties soon!   Launching tonight to our Powder Stylists. See more Beautiful brides hairstyles and visit our Powder Room Gallery

Flushing cheeks and luscious lashes as the way to that beautiful bride look, ready and waiting for the man of your dreams!  So romantic…sigh…..!

All of us at Powder Room are so looking forward to the busy peak season again, and brides galore!!  Bring it on!!  Saturday just gone at our intimate Powder Room Wedding studio in New Farm we had 11 brides visit in the afternoon having their Pre Wedding hair and make up trials, there were veils, jewels, lashes and hairspray everywhere!!  How do we ever go home to a normal night after our days.

TWK Photography, created Claire’s beautiful images!

One of our beautiful Brides to be Simone (getting married in September this year) booked Powder stylists Jody and Sarah to look after some of the cast member for a pre launch photo shoot a few weeks ago.  Simone works with Queensland Theatre Company, and we are looking forward to spoiling Simone for her Wedding make up and hair.  We are travelling out to Simone on the day to look after Simone and her bridesmaids.  Simone met us when she booked for a special Occasion hair and make up last December.

We were pretty excited to meet, Sibylla Budd (from Secret Life of Us), Paul Bishop (from Blue Heelers) and Hugh Parker ( from Uk East Enders).

Sibylla arrived in New Farm straight off a flight and the girls had a about an hour to work their hair and make up magic.  We had a lovely time with them and are now excited looking forward to the show, which starts on Sept 6th thru to 9th October.

If you’d like to go to the play at the Cremorne Theatre, book NOW QTIX Ph: 136246 qldtheatreco.com.au.

‘Betrayal” is a play about lifelong friends Jerry and Robert, rivals in  the publishing world, but also rivals for the love of Robert’s wife Emma……can’t wait…anyway don’t you think Sibylla looks even more beautiful after some Powder pampering!

Choosing your Wedding hairstyle can sometimes be a challenge, you are left wondering “What will it look like on me”  and you do want it to be extra special!  You are also trying to imagine what it will all look like together, that is your dress, Veil, or should you have a fascinator!   I know how confusing!!  Well don’t worry as when we meet you at your pre Wedding trial we make sure we have plenty of time to help you create that special look as we allow double the time to that of your Wedding day and of course the same stylist that you meet on your trial day is                                             the same that spoils you on the Wedding day.

Just wanted to share with you all a sneak peak at one of our new Bridal collection images photographed a few weeks ago. Powder Stylists have created 8 new looks to be launched in the December edition of  Brisbane Bride Magazine out in December! We all love a red head, Katie’s hair is naturally curly and is softly pinned of the face with one section. The Wedding updo, flows softly to one side, using a hair padding to create the gorgeous shape.
Wedding make up was inspired by Katie’s beautiful porcelain skin, soft  warm apricot gold tones and shimmery iridescent cheeks, perfect for a Spring Wedding.  Lips lacquered with Powder Room’s “Lips with Love”  I Do lipstick and Last Flirt gloss.  Visit our Powder Room store to purchase your very own Powder Room shade!

Katie looked so beautiful in a dress by “Paddington Weddings” .

Hi Girls from the Powder Room,

Just wanted to send through some pics from our wedding on 9th April this year. Bridgitte and Kate came along to style us for the day and were very professional, making us all feel comfortable, even my 83 year old grandmother!

I was so happy with my hair and make up and couldn’t have asked for anything better. I received so many positive comments which was great with people wanting to know who had done my hair and make-up.

Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my special day.

Kind Regards,

Martina

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!

Thanks also to Discerning Bride for donating a magazine to each bride on the evening!

Katie was married on the 17th April this year and girls check out the gorgeous Wedding hair and make up created by Bridgette and Sarah!

Vintage inspired updo’s are a smash hit at the moment, feminine, soft and sexy, what more could you ask for!  Everyone loves a celebrity and Katie and her maids look like they came straight from the catwalk!  For more real bride Wedding hair and make up looks see our Gallery images.


Sarah, our make up artist that looked after the girls on the day recommends that a great skin care is the secret to glowing beautiful Wedding day skin.  Body Essence day spa in New Farm, really look after our Powder Room brides.  We love to spoil our brides and when they book with Powder Room, they receive a complimentary mini facial as one of the gifts brides receive.


This month Body Essence has a new Guinot  Facial, totally dedicated to the firmness.  The secret of the facial is a thermal mask that infuses Vit C and Ginseng, firming tightening and rejuvenating your skin.  Simply amazing!
During April – May Body Essence also include their exotic foot treatment (Value $40) including a beautiful foot soak and scrub and foot massage.

“Just wanted to thank you both again for doing my hair and make-up and making me look beautiful and my skin look immaculate.  The make-up and hair stayed in place all day and I just loved the false lashes (they stayed put too).

I have recommended you on the ABIA website as well, rating you as perfect. I would highly recommend you to anyone needing hair and make-up for their big day, I felt like a Princess.

Thank you so much,

Princess Toyah Purrington”

Toyah got married last December and Jody and Jill – super Powder Stylists.  The girls loved spending the day with Toyah and her family.  We received a lovely email testimonial and these gorgeous pictures and Toyah signed her email “Princess Toyah Purrington”, which made us chuckle, Toyah really was a princess!


Chignon hairstyles are the most formal updo hairstyles at Hollywood red carpet events.  Toyah’s High bun chignon was the type of updo that you could wear all year round and it would be amazing for those warm weather Weddings.


Celebrity hairstyles looks, are always what we “google” when searching for that perfect Wedding day hairstyle. Some of our favourite looks at the moment are that of Kate Bosworth, that perfect ballerina bun and Jessica Alba with the messier more casual updo.

Cathy Lucas our Gorgeous Brisbane bride from last week, Easter Thursday was in amazing spirits, despite the happenings before her Wedding day.


Cathy managed to loose her engagement ring and some one stole her vintage headpiece before the Wedding day when she accidentally left it in a cafe.  The House of Windsor worked through the night to make her a new headpiece.  Cathy looked so beautiful with her simple Wedding hairstyle and amazing headpiece.


Cathy’s Wedding make up was a sexy and alluring. Charcoals and darkest navy tones really bring out Cathy’s amazing eyes!   Using a good quality primer really does help the foundation last all night.  Cathy ever so kissable lip colour was one of our favourites, Powder Room’s “Lips with Love” Ms Amour and Gloss shade “Pink Champagne” …muwwhhhh!


“The Powder Room ladies in the background were so calm, and I never doubted for a minute that we wouldn’t look like film stars!  Thank you for making us feel so special, I almost want to get married all over again, so I can look this good:) Thanks Cath”

Priya, one of our beautiful Brisbane brides for this week end came in today for her Wedding trial hair and make up, with Tracie and Aimee and we thought she looked so gorgeous that we wanted to share her trial picture with you.


Priya’s make up was airbrushed and looks just perfect, lips looked lovely in Powder Room’s Lips with Love lipstick –  ”Two Hearts” and lipgloss “Spring Fling”.

We wish Priya the best for her special day and look forward to seeing her this weekend:)  We can’t wait to see Priya in her Wedding dress…
