Make-up is something that is very personal but I do believe that having a professional to do your make-up is really important for your wedding day. It’s important that it stays in place throughout the emotions of the day and that your make-up last well and still looks fresh for those all important photos. It’s also really important that this person is able to help keep you calm during your preparations so that you arrive ready, simply feeling the most beautiful you ever have, on this, your wedding day.

Over the years I have gathered a network of professional make-up artists here in Italy that also speak English which is an important factor in helping you to feel understood which keeps you as relaxed as possible. Depending on your day, your style etc I will be able to recommend some MUA’s for you to choose between.

Of course if you are in Lake Garda for a site visit before your wedding then we can arrange for you to have make-up trial as well to make sure you are totally happy with your choice. This could also be done just a few days before the wedding depending on when you arrive in Italy.

We all know that having a professional hairdresser prepare your hair it a totally different experience than trying to manage it yourself and this is of course even more true if you have slightly longer hair. For this reason it’s hugely important for your wedding day, the last thing you want is to be fiddling and fussing with your hair when you should be simply enjoying the day. It’s essential that your hairstyle stays in place throughout the day and lasts well for those all important photos.

Over the years I have gathered a collection of professional hairdressers in the industry and depending on your day, your style etc I will be able to recommend some of these for you to choose between. As freelancers they are not tied to a salon or shop and will come directly to you, wherever you are staying, making the whole process of getting ready for your big day easier, calmer and smoother, things that we consider to be very important. If you come to Italy for a site visit while we are planing your wedding it is possible to have a trial or this could be done a day or two before the wedding depending on when you arrive in Italy so that you, the bride, can be reassured that what you have pictured in your mind is both possible and beautiful.

Choosing the right hairstyle for your summer wedding is essential in order to look fresh and radiant. General advice is to keep it simple and unpretentious, and remember that elaborate hairstyles can be prone to wilting in the heat. The most suitable summer hairstyle is to wear your hair back, keeping it simple, clean and under control. If you want to decorate your hair consider pearls and crystals for your hair rather than fresh flowers as the latter are prone to wilt in the heat. If, however, you really like the idea of a floral head adornment you could shop around for good quality silk flowers or a beautiful flower shaped jewellery item. Not only will these replicas wear better over the course of your wedding day, but you will be able to use them again for other special occasions.

Another tip would be to let your own hairdresser in on the secret and discuss with them what styles will suit your hair type and hair length. Your hairdresser can then also advise you on how you should be letting your hair grow before the wedding ie, if there are any layers that need growing out. Before you do this though have a look below at a few examples of hair styles to give you some inspiration but remember it has to work well on your hair type.

With these guidelines in mind, you will be a picture of radiance throughout your entire wedding day
