Here are top 5 reasons we believe everyone should go for a custom-made wedding dress:

1. Made-to-Measure

Bridal Make-Up: The Dos And Don'ts You Should Keep in Mind

Your wedding day is undoubtedly the most important day of your life. And when it comes to planning the details that fill your day, being picture ready at all times and being the most glowing person in the room is probably going to be at the top of your list. After all, it is YOUR DAY! The make-up products/looks that you or your MUA would use may have probably not crossed your mind, but honestly that is what will get your bridal makeup stand out. While most brides test their products out in the last minute, we assure you that it is something to test and try out well in advance with your wedding gown irrespective of you having a large wedding or a small wedding. Irrespective if you prefer a bold look or like to keep things more natural, here’s a list of wedding makeup dos and don’ts to help you get ready to say “I do.” 

Face-make up

Dos

• Look for classic options and avoid seasonal trends that are sure to fade away. 

• Research about golden-toned concealers and bases in your makeup.

• Use bronzing powder to warm your skin tone.

• Apply a foundation primer gel to allow your make-up to stay long. 

• Use loose powder to coat your makeup to prevent excess shine.

• Use a bristle brush while applying colours to your face. Lightly dust the neck and chest area to get a better and even look.

• Include lighter and natural colors in your makeup as they won’t make you look washed out. 

Don’ts

 • Never wax or do a new facial just a day before the wedding.  We recommend every bride-to-be at least five day off before wedding day.

• Exclude any talc based powder foundation in your bridal makeup routine as it oxidises quickly, hence darkening your face.

• Don’t plan your makeup look last minute. Always pre-plan everything at least four weeks before your wedding.

• Over-correcting your under-eye circles.

• Save your skin from looking chalky and lifeless by avoiding heavy pressed powder. 

• Use less shimmer as it will make your face flattering and shiny.

Eye-make up

Dos

• Use neutral shades to highlight and contour your eyes. Always stick to classic shades of navy blue, brown and black.

• Always use brow gel and powder one shade darker than your natural hair to make your brows look natural.And use brow pencil of neutral shade to fill up your brows.

• Curl your lashes with a curler and then apply two coats of mascara to get lush lashes.

Don’ts:

• Never apply false lashes for the first time on your wedding day. Experiment with it before your wedding day.

• Avoid dark pencils and dark shadows to define your brows.

• Avoid trendy experiments with your eye makeup. Always stick to the classics.

• Avoid applying multiple coats of mascara on your lashes.

Wedding Beauty Regimen: How and When to Start Doing It?

We trust that you definitely know better than to go try your first-ever spray tan or a facial the night before your wedding, but when's the best time to begin your wedding beauty treatment? 

Your wedding beauty regimen is just as important as your actual wedding day timeline. Having a well planned wedding beauty routine that's prepared way before the wedding will give you plenty of time to adequately prepare your hair, skin, teeth, etc. for the big day. Remember that all the items on this planner are optional— and there's no  hard and fast rule that you have to get your teeth whitened or a facial just before your wedding. Just mix and match what works well for you and what you’re most comfortable with.  Here's a handy checklist with a timeline to keep you prepared and glowing for the best day of your life.

6-12 months prior to your wedding

Follow a vitamin regimen, complete with supplements that support health, collagen production, shiny hair and strong nails.

Make a fitness plan with exercise you enjoy — it can be yoga, dancing, gymming or anything else. Try and commit to an activity that incorporates an endorphin-boosting exercise which will not only keep you healthy but also reduce stress amidst all the wedding planning!

If you're planning to try a new hair color or get some fancy highlights, now would be the right time to experiment. You will have ample amount of time to try out and see if the color works for you, test if you like it and even switch it back if you don’t.

Consume a lot of water, every day. Water is very beneficial for healthy nail growth, glowing skin and stronger hair.

3 months prior to your wedding

Try all your wedding hair and makeup ideas. Try different options to see what matches your figure, complexion, style and most of all your wedding gown!! Test out your glam for any event that might take place before the wedding to see if it actually works for you! One easy idea would be to coincide it with your pre-wedding or engagement shoot. However, be prepared that it might take you more than one trial, so be patient and trust the process. Bernadette Pimenta provides one of the best couture bridal gowns in Melbourne.

1 months prior to your wedding

If you've decided not to use a makeup artist, now would be the time to experiment with makeup looks and products that work for you. You have a good amount of time to still do some trial runs and be prepared. 

You can start regularly applying a self tanner to build up a good base of even color.

The best thing to do would be to not add any new products to your beauty routine. It's not advisable to try anything new because any new product could cause irritation or a breakout — and you do not want to risk it this close to the big day!

1 week prior to your wedding

Get a professional teeth whitening.

Get your final facial.

Get your brows professionally waxed or threaded. 

Do a deep-conditioning treatment for softer, shinier hair.

Get your manicure and pedicure.

5 Shopping Tips for a Plus Size Couture Wedding Gowns

  Everything related to your wedding is stressful enough, let alone shopping for your wedding gown!! And if that wasn’t hectic enough, the stress taken by a plus size bride is even worse! The horror stories faced by these brides by judgmental shop girls and extremely small accessories that leave brides-to-be shaking. Written below we’ve laid out some of the five best tips to go shopping if you’re a plus sized bride so sit back, relax, and above all, have fun!

1.  Plan ahead

Most bridal boutiques keep a stock sample of dresses for the “average” bride, which is generally all around a size 10. Hence, a smart move would first be to read reviews and call and check on availability of dresses in larger sizes. So make sure you call ahead of your visit to be sure they have a variety of plus size bridal dress sample styles for you to try.

2.  Find an expert

Request for an expert specialist who’s well versed in plus size dressing to make the most of your visit. Find someone who’s not only knowledgeable but is also excited to work with you. Keep in mind, you’re not just paying for your couture bridal gown, but for expert knowledge as well. So take full advantage of the situation and ask plenty of questions. Follow their advice to the T – they’re the professionals, after all!

3.  Ignore numbers

Most of the bridal brands often use size tags that are significantly higher than what you would wear in your normal, everyday life. So your best bet is to ignore the number entirely and focus on the overall feel and fit. If you find a bridal gown in Melbourne that helps bring out your inner Beyoncé, then who cares about the number?

 4. Don’t stick to your comfort zone.

Just because you are in love with A-line, doesn’t mean you have to try only that sort of dress. Try to have a little open mind and follow whatever your stylist recommends to you. Even if they recommend a fit and flare that they swear would look gorgeous on you, then giving it a shot would not be the worst idea ever. Since they are professionals in their field, keep an open mind and listen to their advice. After all, what would be the worst-case scenario? You just won’t like it. But the best case scenario? You suddenly find the dress of your dreams!

5. Take tips from other brides.

Opt for the gown that you feel most beautiful in, leaving behind all stereotypes. That being said, there are always a few tried and true to the heart styles that’ll help you start your journey to finding the perfect dress, even if you’re not sure where to start.  For example, a body fitting dress always helps mask any perceived imperfections, for skinny as well as curvy girls.

How to Choose the Perfect Bouquet for your Wedding

It’s an unknown myth that the wedding bouquet represents the good fortunes and future prosperity of the bride. An old European tradition even states, as custom for unmarried women to tear pieces from the bride’s bouquet in order to capture some of that good fortune for themselves! Over time, that tradition has now changed and we toss the bouquet for another woman to share in the piece of good fortune.

So what makes a perfect bridal bouquet? And how should you go about choosing the perfect bouquet for you, is a mind-boggling dilemma most bride's face!

Your wedding bouquet is one of the most important accessories on your wedding day, also making it one of the most challenging to select!

Below are a few tips that will help you in choosing the perfect bridal bouquet for your big day.

Define your colour palette

Usually by the time you get to considering flowers you have selected your wedding dress in Melbourne, your bridesmaid dresses, as well as decided the colour palette for your entire event. Your wedding colour palette comprises all of the shades and hues that will be present throughout your decor from the entourage dresses to the centrepieces at the reception. Whether you choose to stick to royal blue and white for the winter, or fresh green and yellow for summer, a defined colour palette will help you in picking a bouquet.

Formal or Casual?

The tone of your ceremony is a good factor to help guide your wedding bouquet style. Casual events are more conducive to generous armloads of flowers in an array of colours -- or rustic bouquets with non-traditional elements, like berries or fresh herbs.

Bouquet Shapes

Wedding bouquets can be arranged in many styles, from a petite, compact nosegay to the popular domed bouquet to a cascade. Loud wedding bouquets will work well with ornate wedding gowns that have full skirts and long trains, while simple ones pair best with sleek dresses. 

Choosing a Florist

Once you have collected ideas for your bouquet, find a florist who will help you bring your vision to life. Begin your search well in advance. Consult recent brides for recommendations or pair up with the right event organiser. 

A good florist should guide and tell you whether your choices are realistic and (if not) suggest alternatives to match what you had initially planned. 

After choosing your florist, go over the minor details. Share specifics such as your wedding dress fabric and pattern, as well as shoes to understand what bouquet would add the highest amount of comfort factor. With the right inspiration, and proper planner, the flowers you carry on your big day will surely be as breathtaking as the ones you’ve been dreaming about ever since you decided to get married. 

Lastly, do not leave behind any detail present in your mind about your wedding. Your special day should go exactly how you imagine it to be and the more you communicate, the more to life your wedding will be.

Tips in Choosing the Perfect Veil for your Wedding Day

Wedding veils, unlike the other wedding accessories that pair with a wedding gown, have a history that goes way beyond a simple fashion statement. They are the oldest part of a bridal ensemble. Its history dates back to ancient Rome when brides were wrapped head-to-toe, representing the delivery of a modest and untouched maiden to her husband-to-be. Another reason for the flawless veil was meant to hide the bride from any evil spirits who might want to thwart her happiness. In arranged marriages, veils also signified the desire to hide the bride’s face from the groom. 

As we evolved in terms of modern fashion and human era, the types and lengths of a bridal veil has seen a lot of changes. There are more than one way in which you can choose your wedding veil, by matching it to your gown or the venue you’re getting married in. Following are a few tips to help you choose better. 

Start With the Veil Length

Begin with considering the length of your veil to match your wedding style. Try out different options when selecting your gown, or even wait until you go for your first dress fitting to find out what suits you best. Fixate on a style that complements your overall silhouette and not just your gown and ideas—afterall, you don't want your veil to interrupt the flow of your look. Let your couture bridal gown designer help you in deciding your veil look as they often make veils keeping in mind the look of the dress on the bride. 

Find the correct balance Whether the perfect veil for your wedding day will be a heavily embellished piece, or a minimal but sophisticated piece, will solely depend on your designer wedding gown Melbourne. Try and pair a simple and clean veil with a heavy worked up gown. Vice versa, be a bit more adventurous if you decide on a simple gown. In the case of the latter scenario, play with unexpected shapes, accents and textures, like a classic floral-embellished cathedral veil, or a couture-inspired bubble veil with over-the-top volume. Balance out all the types of embellishments. What we mean is that while you don’t have to match the ones on your dress exactly, they should at least complement them in color, size and style. 

Match your wedding hairstyle

Just as you should wait for your wedding gown design, don’t forget your hairstyle before you choose the perfect veil for your wedding day. The bridal hairstyle you choose may affect your final veil decision. For example, a bridal cathedral veil will work best when your hair is tied down or in lower updos, while blushers and birdcages are much more versatile and can be worn with any bridal hairstyle. Your hairstyle might also affect where you place the veil and how you fasten it. If you're wearing your hair up, you can wear the veil above or below your bun. Pinning it above gives it more volume and achieves a more classy look, while placing it below feels more modern and keeps the focus on your stylish updo.

5 Amazing Tips to Preserve Your Wedding Dress

Every little girl dreams of walking down the aisle in the perfect wedding dress. Finding the perfect dress can literally make or break your wedding. It’s not an easy project. You spend a lot of days, and even months; Rambling through racks, pictures and designers until you find “The One”. But what should you do with it until your wedding, which is months away? How will you be sure that your dress will be kept safe? (And we mean safe from damage, not safe from your finance's curious eyes!) Here are some easy steps you can take to make sure your bridal gowns in Melbourne make it to your wedding day without damage.

Remove the plastic

The first rule of thumb any preservationist will suggest is to remove the dress from plastic if it will be stored for longer than a few days. Plastic typically does not allow fabrics to breathe and has the potential for staining, as chemicals break down and gasses are emitted. It is best to use a cloth garment bag or plain cotton sheets to wrap your gown.

Out of sight, out of mind

Once your gown is properly stored away, try to resist the temptation to try it on or remove it from the bag (unless you need alterations). Your chances of staining and potential oil marks increase with each time your dress is handled. Sweat marks and makeup stains are your major dangers to look out for when trying on your dress. 

After the wedding, have your dress cleaned

Before you jet off for your honeymoon, ask a bridesmaid or family member to drop off your dress at your local dry cleaners to have your dress professionally cleaned, before stains set in. In order to best preserve your wedding dress, purchasing a conservation-grade and acid-free box or container wouldn’t be too bad an investment.  It is best to avoid long-term storage on a hanger, because this can lead to stretching the fabric over time. Once again, storing the dress under your bed or in a spare closet is the safest method to help preserve the life of the dress.

Don’t Wait Too Long

The longer you delay in cleaning the gown, the more stubborn the stains. The longer a stain sits on any fabric, the more it sinks into the fibers of the fabric itself, and bridal fashion fabrics are the worst! Never mind delicate silk—even that stunning polyester blend will grab onto dirt, spills, and moisture and not want to let go.

2Ps - Pass or Preserve

Preserving and storing your wedding dress is mandatory if you plan to pass it on to future generations or if you think you might give it away or sell it. Some brides take some time to treasure their dress at home—perhaps a few months—then donate it to a nonprofit resale shop or sell it either online or on consignment in an upscale boutique. Others keep their dress just to look at and reminisce along with cards and photos and other wedding day treasures.

Whatever your choice, please do take the time to treat your designer wedding dresses in Melbourne like the princess it made you feel when you wore it on what was, most likely, the most important day of your life!

5 Tips For Picking The Right Wedding Jewelry For Your Special Day

When it comes to your big day,  you wouldn’t want to compromise on anything that is a part of this big day. From decor to jewellery, to even your troupe’s attire you want it to be perfect to the T. Sometimes we even go an extra mile by trying to be different and consequently the best by breaking the so-called "rules." However, that doesn't mean there aren't still tried-and-true tips to bend the rules, even if it is for your wedding day jewelry. So helping you make simpler decisions with a little guidance from one of Melbourne’s best wedding dress designers to accessorizing your couture bridal gown, read on below.

Find the metal that your dress will say “I do” to

Each shade of white will have its own grace and beauty. And deciding to pair it with so many options like gold, silver, imitation, can be quite the challenge, let alone frustrating. So if you find yourself confused, here’s a mini guide to allowing your dress choose the type of jewellery you wear. 

White: This classic hue will look best when paired with pretty platinum or silver pieces.

Ivory: Yellows or gold jewelry will best enhance this creamy shade.

Champagne: Even this colour will go best with gold jewelry complementing the warm tones in this very light & beige shade. If you're planning to put together an antique-inspired look, burnished silver with rhinestones would add an extra charm to your D-day dress.

Pearly white: Try rose. The pink cast in the metal will coordinate with the soft pink of the dress.

Don’t forget about your neckline

The neckline of your dress will play a huge role in framing your fairytale wedding look. So you’ll want to keep that in mind when picking out your dresses to compliment your look accordingly.

Add a touch of your Personal Style

Just because you are not a fan of chunky jewellery doesn’t mean you should completely let go of the idea of wearing it. Try to create a list of the various pieces that would look good on you with the right material and gown. This would give you a much clearer idea of how particular pieces would look with your dream dress. 

Don’t forget your hair

You may not be a big fan of wearing a tiara on your wedding day, but there is no harm if you do. Nevertheless, there are many fascinating options in hair accessories, like combs and head pieces that can make you look very pretty. Whether you tie your hair up or leave it down, you should consider decorating it with a headpiece that matches your dress and adds more impact to your overall look on the day. 

Be you! 

Don’t feel pressured to over-do it or hold back if you’re looking to make a statement. If you’re happy in your accessories and you're ready to wear wedding dresses, you’ll feel confident and that’s the best accessory. After all, it’s your special day.

5 Tips To Make Your Small Wedding Memorable and Intimate

There are several advantages of having a small wedding. For starters, not only does it minimize the expense of your marriage, but it also helps you and your guests enjoy a more personal and social experience. Therefore, to make your wedding planning process easier we have curated a list of 5 tips that will make your small wedding memorable and intimate.

This might seem like a simple decision at first, but in reality, shortening your guest list can be a tough decision for many people. Although it's hard to tell somebody that they will not be invited to your wedding, it's always important that you be honest in such situations. Every person you invite to a wedding of this size should be someone dear to you because you can't imagine marrying without them.

2) Book the right space 

The size of your wedding venue must complement the number of guests you have invited. So the best way to book the right venue for you would be to research the venues online and in-person beforehand to make sure they fit the size of your crowd. Once you have selected your venue, you can decorate it to complement your designer wedding dress in Melbourne.

3) Live music 

Good music can help set the mood for your wedding. Since you’re planning on a small wedding, hiring a DJ or an orchestra can prove to be excessive. Thus a soloist is perfect for any small wedding ceremony. Look for string instrument players like guitarists or violinists as they produce a wonderful dull sound perfect for small weddings. Request a custom-made long trail for your couture bridal gown from Melbourne, especially to wear it for the dance.

4) Personalize your wedding 

One of the major benefits of having a small wedding is that you can use more of your budget on making your wedding more personalized. By personalizing the place cards, gift bags, centerpieces, welcoming notes & gifts you will create a memorable and unique experience that your guests love.

5) Get creative with drinks 

Drinks are an exciting element that you can incorporate into your small wedding. To make sure your guests have something to enjoy at your wedding reception, try making those creative signature cocktails. apart from this, remember that not everybody is interested in drinking, so it may be a smart idea to provide non-alcoholic choices as well. 

Conclusion 

Small weddings can be fun, as you have more room to be creative. We hope that you have a great wedding and hope that you have can't wait to see you in stunning designer wedding dresses in Melbourne.

5 Simple Tips for Planning Your Perfect Winter Wedding

Most of the people plan their big day with the person they love, and want it to be the perfect day to be remembered and cherished forever! As easy as it may sound, there are never enough of tips necessary to help you in planning your big day.

A wedding is that one special day in our lives where we would want everything to be just perfect with our to-be life partners. A day to be remembered and cherished for lifetime.

GAUGE PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES

When choosing your venue, consider the surrounding area and its suitability for photos. What landmarks, parks, beautiful buildings and quirky locations would make great backdrops for your wedding photos, and where can you go if it’s raining?

CHOOSE FOOD AND DRINK TO MATCH THE SEASON

Work with the season just like you would work with the décor of the venue. For example, you could have a hot chocolate station, a mulled wine station, or, my personal favourite, serve amaretto with warmed apple juice. Bring the season into your wedding with the food and drink.

GET CREATIVE WITH WINTER ACCESSORIES

Winter accessories are a must – such as a fur shawl, clear brolly, or velvet suit jacket for the groom. Not only do they add to the photos, they also proof against the weather, so don’t be afraid to accessorise!

GET THE PERFECT DRESS

This is a no brainer. You should always keep your budget as an important factor in mind before you start anything. This goes with other aspects of the wedding as well such as the price of your couture bridal gowns in Melbourne, the venue cost, etc. Whatever budget you do decide for in the end, should make you feel happier than being sad and upset about choosing the wrong shoe with a bad budget.

 2) Comfort:

Well, one of the most important considerations is and will be comfort! You can’t ignore this at all. As you will be wearing your wedding shoes the entire day which would include your nuptials and your reception. If you do end up choosing shoes which are uncomfortable, it will reflect in your photographs. You don’t want to be in that situation, do you? You definitely want to keep your feet happy, relaxed and without any discomfort. So, take your time and choose wisely as there will be plenty of options to choose from which will have the style that you’re looking for with comfort.

 3) Color Palette and Style

Next, try selecting your shoe based on the style and color palette of your wedding gown in Melbourne. One thing to keep in mind is that it shouldn’t mismatch. You could probably take in a small fabric of your wedding dress as this could give you an idea of which shoe would really match the entire look.

4) Heel Height:

Another factor that is very important is choosing the right heel height. Depending on your wedding gown, should give you the right idea on how much height is needed that would work with the hem of the gown. Apart from this is the comfort factor. If you do choose shoes with a longer heel, you’ll have to remove them now and then as it will make you a bit uncomfortable. In situations like this, you could opt for a platform shoe which will be a better choice for your feet and mood for the wedding day.

 5) Venue:

Knowing the kind of wedding venue in advance will also make it easier for you. For example, having an outdoor venue in areas such as grass or sand would be a wrong idea going in for shoes with high heels.

At the end of the day, whatever you choose should make you happy as this is the most important day in your life. Hoping these tips will help you in finding the right wedding shoe.
