Q&A Beauty Big-day beauty tips and tricks LOOKING GOOD, FEELING GOOD Meet the expert: Helena Giles is the owner of Your Beautiful Day UK offering a mobile beauty service, and wedding planning across the South West. How can I achieve glowing skin before my wedding? Helena says: Getting your skin plump, fresh and free from blemishes isn’t solely for your hen party or your wedding day, it’s a goal to achieve every day. Consider adding to your wedding prep by drinking plenty of water, investing in a good day and night skincare regime that includes a face mask once a week and let’s not forget those all-important eight hours of beauty sleep a night either! Speak with your beautician about products and brands that suit you. Look at your budget and factor in what you’d like to achieve, for example, closing your pores, reducing dark circles or banishing those blemishes. I use Younique both personally and professionally alongside favourites from Charlotte Tilbury, Illamasqua, Urban Retreat by Acti-Labs and Arbonne. Great products produce fantastic results and achieving great skin can be a work in progress for around three to six months before your wedding day.

Any advice? Meet the expert: Martine Rodda is the managing director of DeModa Organic Hair & Beauty (Redruth) Ltd in Cornwall. Martine says: Often, brides will send me pictures of their dream wedding hair but their locks may not be long enough, or thick enough to get the look. One solution is to add hair extensions or hair pieces. The different types of extensions include ponytail ones to add length and shine or a braided bun to add volume to fine hair. A braided headband is a great way of achieving the bohemian look when worn with loose tumbling waves or curls and you can add a flower to complete this fashionable look. Alternatively, tape hair extensions are quick to apply and work well on fine hair while sewn-in weaves add length. Individual bonds are ideal if you wish to continue wearing them and halo extensions (attached with a wire) and clip-in extensions are both for temporary use.
