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!

Just wanted to share with you all a sneak peak at one of our new collection’s images photographed last week.


We all love a red head, Katie’s hair is naturally curly and is loosely pinned framing the face with soft curls. The updo, flows softly to one side, but still looks symmetrical with the centre part.


Wedding make up was inspired by Katie’s beautiful porcelain skin, soft apricots and golds and shimmery cheeks, perfect for a Spring Wedding.  Lips lacquered with Powder Room’s “Lips with Love” Only You lipstick and Last Flirt gloss.

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.

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.

In the last 6 months a revolution has taken place with hair, soft ripple waves are the main attraction as was seen at the Oscars this year. Hair is shiny, soft and feminine.


At our last training day we created this gorgeous hairstyle on our lovely model, Sarah.


The hair was initially set, brushed through with serum smoothed to the ends adding impeccable shine and control. The hair was then hot tong moulded to create the soft ripple wave across the face. A pony tail was banded at the back left, nape of the neck. Large sections of hair were gently twisted, rouched and loosely pinned into the pony tail to create a full, textured, bun-like shape.


The front waved sections were pinned into the back of the hairstyle asymmetrically, one side was a loose braid, the other side pinned lower over the ear for that sassy vintage style. Beautifully accessorised with a crystal, silk flower, individually created by Leanne from Lila Designs.


A great technique for getting super long hair up securely so you can dance the night away!

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.
