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…

Hello and Happy New Year Powder Room Brides, I’m so excited about 2010!  The year of all of your Weddings and we are so looking forward to spoiling you all with your Wedding day hair and make up!

It’s all about Dreaming and imagining your own most amazing Wedding day and we would love to be a part of your special day!

Our phones are going crazy and we are already turning away brides, although we’d love to look after you all!

Powder Room hair and make up artists only spoil one bridal party per Wedding day, so call early in the year to avoid disappointment.

By the way The new “Brisbane Bride” for 2010 is out and we have 6 pages of our beautiful new bridal hair and make up collection, check it out

Here is a sneak preview of one of our new images from the collection!

I wanted to share with you a 2 minute visualisation, compliments of the gorgeous girls who wrote the book ” Like Chocolate for Women” to help you relax whilst planning for your big day.  Thoughts are powerful and provoke a physical response on the central nervous system.  Try it and see how you go!

Sit down, close your eyes and imagine yourself on a holiday – pick your favourite place.

Start to hear the sounds and smells of your holiday place; choose to believe you are there.  Stay there a while then come back.

Your body does not know what reality is; it only responds to what the mind is telling it.  It you are uptight and stressed the body will respond by shortening your breath, creating the ‘nervous butterfly feeling’ and teasing muscles.  However, if your mind thinks it is relaxing on a beach listening to the waves, you will slow your heart rate down, relax your muscles and release endorphins (otherwise known as pleasure hormones), making a dramatic change to your body in just 2 minutes.

Our beautiful Brisbane Bride, Annika Ericson came in to our New Farm Studio, just 5 mins from Brisbane’s CBD on her wedding day to have her hair done with our Premier stylist, Karen.

Annika’s bob length hair looked soft and romantic gently tousled with Vintage curls, styled with a stunning crystal hairpiece.

See her gorgeous look from the day.

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.
