We just love receiving beautiful thank you letters from our gorgeous brides, it gives us such a buzz to know that we helped in making their day absolutely perfect!

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!

During the months of December and January we will be offering complimentary 15min Cupcake Consultations in our boutique New Farm salon for brides to be.

Come and enjoy a delicious cupcake and browse through our wedding day hair and makeup albums while chatting with our hair and makeup co-ordinator about your upcoming Wedding.

Bookings Essential, please contact us on (07) 3254 1786 to make a booking.

We look forward to meeting you!

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

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.

Vicki Toms looked absolutely radiant on her big day and loved having her hair and makeup done so much that she has become one of our regular salon clients.


At The Powder Room we also have a boutique hair salon and are available for colours, cuts and styling by appointment. If you would like Karen or Kayla to look after your pre Wedding hair styling in the lead up to your big day, we would love to hear from you!


Vicki sent us a lovely letter and some photos from her beautiful day.


“Thanks to Karen and her team, I feel that I looked better on my wedding day than I have ever looked before. That was a big confidence booster and made me feel great. The morning of pampering and being made beautiful was lots of fun and a great way to ward off nerves. The fun experience and the fantastic results certainly helped me to really enjoy our wedding. Now that the day is over we have great photos – I look like me, but somehow so much better!”

Rebecca was radiant on her Wedding day and sent us some gorgeous photo’s and a lovely thank you below:

“Our wedding day was beautiful! Myself and my bridesmaids thoroughly enjoyed Kristi’s company and our hair and makeup lasted all day and night!”

Michelle Manning was married on 6th March 2009 and was looked after by our lovely Jody and Cathy. She sent us through a great shot from her wedding day and a little thank you note we thought we would share with you.

I wanted to say a huge thank you! You made us all look like movie stars and we felt absolutely beautiful all day. Not only that, but you are both such lovely girls, that we totally enjoyed being in your company for the day!
