Doltone House Wedding Showcase

Firstly I would like to apologise for my lack of presence on this blog.  I think just about everyone living in Sydney would agree that this has been the worst Winter in regards to sickness.  Everyone I know is sick with the flu, was sick with the flu or is coming down with it.  As for me it has been the worst Winter ever – bring on Summer!

Late last week I was contacted by Doltone House and asked if my readers might be interested in their wedding extravaganza called ‘A Night to Be Dazzled’.  I thought an evening of glitz, glamour and all things bridal might just be what the doctor ordered to bring some warmth back this winter!

The evening is being held at Doltone House – Jones Bay Wharf on Monday 10th and Tuesday the 11th of August from 5.30-9.30pm.

Here is a little more from Doltone House’s media release:

Before and After – Sarhn’s make over

 My last post had beauty tips written by celebrity hair and makeup artist Lynne O’Brien. 

Now for this post, Lynne thought it would be fun to do a ‘make over’ on me and I thought it would be fun to record the event on video and photographs.  Being very brave I have added below not just the ‘after’ photographs but the ‘before’.

Check out the Youtube video below and listen in as Lynne and I chat about film sets, style techniques, boys and Bollywood.  For those who subscribe to my posts via email you will need to click on the title of this post to view the blog or click this link to go to Youtube.

Lynne thank you for my new look.  The whole experience was a lot of fun.

Wedding Day Beauty

Lynne O’Brien is one of Australia’s most recognised and popular make up and hair artists in the film industry.

Lynne takes care of many celebrity’s beauty needs not only on the film set but also on their wedding day. I asked Lynne to share some of her wedding beauty ideas for Wedding Planning Tips’ readers.

 

Lynne’s response:

“Every single Bride (and if the truth be known … Groom) wants to look beyond amazing on that day. Sure you may choose a simple dress and want to look the ‘same you’ that your partner fell in love with but you will still want the most incredible version thereof the world has ever seen.

This is your chance to be the star and have all of it’s accoutrements.

Make up is something that has to be booked ahead to make sure you are taken care of. But who? Which one? Sometimes a good standard is to ask a finicky friend (you know some one not pleased easily) and ask if they were happy with their make up person. Or find a makeup person with a strong history. Remember years after your wedding is finished and you are on your tenth wedding anniversary the few things you will always have will be the photographic evidence, make up and hair, your dress and a confident and relaxed smile on your face in the photos knowing you look your best.

Remember the one thing is to leave nothing to chance … just because it worked for a friend doesn’t mean it will work for you. Spend the time to

Things to remember … Just from the beauty perspective

• Facial – more than 7 days prior so no break outs immediately before the wedding day.
  
• Spray Tan – 3 days before (this way excess has washed off and you are still left with a good colour for the wedding day and the honeymoon (remember to test spray tans prior to the wedding day a few times and choose the one you are the most happy with as each spray tan varies vastly from the other due to the brand and the applicator).
  
• Test hair colour and style prior to day (no surprises) . A bit of pre planning goes a long way.”
