Gorgeous Powder Room Bride Laura Sanderson was married at the Emporium hotel on 10th July and was an absolutely stunning Bride!


Laura was such a calm, relaxed bride planning her big day in just a few short months.

Her makeup was airbushed for a beautiful flawless finish with a soft smokey eye to really bring out her gorgeous eyes!

Laura’s accessories were absolutely amazing, we especially loved her intricate choker! And Laura’s bridesmaids dresses were super cute in raw silk with ruffles.

Planning your Wedding can be a totally new experience and with so much to think about, it’s great to do what girls do best and ask other girlfriends for referrals.

Thinking about the logistics of the day can be a major headache, unless you have a Wedding planner.

Well, what a morning it was! We were all up at 3am to be at the Stamford Plaza by 4:15am to beautify Ellie and her bridesmaids.

Ellie looked as lovely as ever and was surprisingly calm with just a few pre-wedding jitters. Ellie came and met with us yesterday and had a chat about how she would like her hair and makeup to look on the day. As everything was organised in such a whirlwind, there was no time for a trial, however Ellie, Colleen, Sam and Julie were so happy and easygoing and were happy for us to create our magic.

Ellie wanted her hair to be up off her neck but very soft incorporating some curl and her veil to be worn underneath. The girls used Sunscience hair products in the hair which were great for shine and hold. Ellie’s makeup was also very soft with pink golds and a little depth added with a subtle charcoal. Being a beautician, Ellie’s skin was just beautiful so Sarah gave her a light foundation coverage making her skin look glowing and luminous. Ellie wore The Powder Room lips with love lipstick in Miss Amore and lipgloss in Pink Champagne. Of course false lashes were applied – every bride needs long luscious lashes!

Tracie and Elissa then had to make their way over to Gianni’s Portside to look after Jessica Mauboy’s hair and makeup. Jessica sang for The Victorian Bushfire Appeal  last night, so she only arrived in Brisbane early this morning. By the time she arrived at Gianni’s Tracie and Elissa only had 25 minutes with her for hair and makeup. Both girls said that Jessica was absolutely lovely, very friendly and down to earth. Jessica sang for the bride and grooms first dance (Ellie in her beautiful wedding gown and Phil in a handsome looking tux).

Camilla wasn’t left out this morning either as Kristi was at the B105 studios to do her hair and makeup at 4:30am too.

Overall a fantastic morning was had by all. What a way to say I Do!!

Well Heeelllloo lovely Powder brides!!!!

My name is Karen and I’m hoping you’ll follow my blog entries about all things hollywood, celebrity and Wedding wonderful

I’m the Creative Director of The Powder Room and am passionate about glamorous hair and make up for weddings.

I’m so looking forward to having the opportunity to chat to you all every week about my passion for all things girlee. I have so much to share with you. I’ll be going on shopping expeditions, checking out the latest products, surfing the net for the latest and greatest hair and makeup styles and keeping you up to date with the latest celebrity news and trends.

Talking about gossip…..have you all heard about Brisbane’s very own Miranda Kerr and her supposed engagement to Orlando Bloom? Do you think that it was just a publicity stunt or are they really going to tie the knot??

One of our very own brides went to school with Miranda and told us that Miranda regularly checks out what all her school friends are doing on facebook. (What ever did we do before facebook!) The Aussie model dazzled in her draped orange halter dress and her Christian Louboutin heels at the Cannes Film Festival.

This season is so about colour not just in clothing but in make up as well. We are seeing pops of colour straight off the catwalk such as bright purples, blues, pinks and sorbets. Maybe we should see if Miranda and Orlando are on Twitter!! BTW check out Powder Room on Twitter, choose to follow @PowderRoomChic and see what we are up to.

I would really love for you all to let me know about what products you just love and can’t live without!!! At the moment I am really enjoying Benefit’s “Lemon aid”, a colour correcting eyelid primer, which helps to hide redness and discolouration on your eyelids, just what a 20 year old girl needs to

keep up with her busy social life!

Well lovely to meet you all and I can’t wait to hear from you

Kisses Karen xxx
