1. Hair

This season is all about braids – from simple plaits to fishtail braids. Whether your style is up, half up, or down, a carefully placed braid can add the perfect amount of detail to your do. A textured style is an effective way to show off your balayage and multi-tonal colour – add different textures with a combination of braids, twists, knots and buns. Whether you decide to braid or not to braid, book with one of our fully trained Sparistas who can help you find your perfect Wedding hair do.

2. Nails

It’s important to not distract from your ring or bouquet if you are the bride, so neutral, nude or blush tones on a bride can always look clean and sophisticated – our Sparistas have a range of shades available to suit your style. Add a touch of sparkle with a some glitter or gems. You may also want to opt for Shellac/gel which won’t chip on the special day and can last up to 2 weeks meaning that you’ll have perfect nails for your honeymoon too!

3. Makeup

Whether you are after a neutral look or something more dramatic, our Sparistas will make sure you feel comfortable on the big day. You may opt to focus on lips with a classic red lip, enhance your eyes with a smokey eye, or keep things simple with a natural look. Highlighters are in this summer, so be sure to ask for a tough of shimmer on your cheeks to catch that perfect sparkle. Oh, and opting for waterproof mascara may also be a good idea (happy tears of course!).

AWS

With the Autumn Winter 2017 Bridal Week featuring an array of the usual suspects, exposed backs, high lace necklines, and dramatic trains, the bridal trends for this season aren’t holding back. Think all of the above, with a little more oomph. Welcome folky embroideries, floral embellishments, and the most opulent of hues. Here, the reigning bridal trends of AW17.

UP IN THE HAIR

Bridal Hair

With major references to the AW17 Bridal shows, an array of soft and wispy chignons could be seen taking centre stage, capturing a romantic and timeless feel. To achieve this look, we’ll let you in on our Sparistas best hair care secret, Oribe’s Dry Texturising Spray (£20). Perfect for adding easy texture to an understated and artistic style. If you’re not a fan of your hair up, then this seasons hair must-have is the gold leaf hair vine (£80), teamed with loose waves, or even soft braids, it adds that touch of ethereal and avant-garden style chic.

SAY YES TO THE DRESS

Bridal Dress

Evolving from simple off the shoulder style gowns of the summer, to cold-shouldered floral details, designers have taken flowers to a whole new level this season. We’re talking about the most exquisite, so-delicate-you’ll-want-to-cry 3D embellishments, and volumes of tulle and ruffles. We’re completely in love with this beautiful gown from the incredible Bridal design house, Mira Zwillinger. The barely there nude bodice beneath the sheer white tulle ensures that this modern and ethereal take on a classic style silhouette screams more is more.

BOLD MAKEUP

Bridal Makeup

As a daring contrast to a white or ivory gown, keep your skin fresh and dewy, and then add a bold statement with a vampy style lip. Donned by the squad of brides at the Naeem Khan show, be brave and bold with Nars’ Audacious Lipstick in colour ‘Charlotte’ (£25). For a softer look, try a nude lip with a slightly contoured dewy finish on the skin – we’re looking at you, Armani luminous silk foundation (£40). These makeup looks aren’t just limited to the Bridal party -Autumnal beauty and wardrobe trends are too good to miss out on!

PUT A RING ON IT

TH Ring

Now, if you’re a future Bride, bridesmaid, relative of the wedding party, or simply reading this blog and feeling serious wedding envy (admit it), we’ve got a little treat for you. We’ve teamed up with our favourite wedding ring designers at Taylor & Hart, offering you guys 150 GBP off  bespoke engagement rings, using the code USPAAH150 at checkout (https://taylorandhart.com/bespoke-engagement-rings).

FLORAL DELIGHT

Bridal Flowers

With the transitioning of seasons, come the vibrant hues of deep reds, rich gold’s, and palettes of creams, yellows and peaches. Whether you’re a fan of wildflowers, or prefer big bold bouqets, anything goes. Take a look here at Wedding Flowers Expert, Karen Barnes’ inspo guide to the prettiest of palettes.

This blog is for all of the men out there, the courageous souls who are about to say “I do”. There’s many a guide written to help future brides prepare for their wedding, yet certainly not enough dedicated to all of the fellas that are also awaiting one of the biggest, special and important days of their lives. Preparation is key if you want to look and feel your best alongside your new stunning wife and let’s face it, you’re probably going to need our help. Gentlemen, it’s time to get your s***together. 

EAT CLEAN

This doesn’t mean eating ‘rabbit food’, it means fuelling your body with the right stuff. Cut out the junk – protein, healthy fats and whole grains are the only foods you’ll be bingeing on for the next few weeks! If you don’t have time to prepare everything yourself then try out celebrity favourite, Fresh Fitness Food, a premium delivery service offering fresh, quality food that is customised to your exact needs by specialised nutrition guru’s.

TRAIN MEAN

If you don’t already go to the gym, then you’re probably not going to be able to pull off Chris Hemsworth’s abs in a month – tears all round! However, you do have time to make a difference, so get pumping that iron. If you’re looking for an extra push in the right direction, then check out our list of London’s best personal training studios –  one-on-one training from a personal trainer and a professional nutritionist will work wonders in motivating you. Exercise also helps bump up the production of your brain’s feel-good endorphin’s, so it’s a win win. 

KEEP IT PRETTY

Start with washing twice a day and take a look at some of the face creams or post-shave treatments that are available for men, like Khiel’s Ultimate Man Series – you’ll be surprised at how easily this becomes a routine and you might even start to like it. If you’re totally unsure give us a call and we’ll bring our spa to you, and don’t worry, no man points lost around here!

CATCH ZZZ’S

As we mentioned last week, getting enough sleep has huge benefits for your physical and mental health, so try to prioritise getting some rest in the weeks approaching the big day. No more working after hours in the office, or Netflix binge-watching! If you really want to unwind then now is your excuse to book that much needed massage.

We offer various treatments including facials and massages, starting from £68.
