Q&A Fashion and beauty Look the best version of you with our expert advice https://unsplash.com/@3tnik FEELING YOUR BEST What are the best facial and massage treatments for brides-to-be to achieve glowing skin and reduce pre-wedding stress? Every bride deserves to feel radiant and relaxed on her big day. We specialise in results-driven yet deeply relaxing treatments that leave the skin glowing and the mind at ease. For a flawless wedding day complexion, our Million Dollar Facial gently exfoliates and hydrates, revealing a smooth, luminous glow. A luxurious hydration facial infused with nourishing serums is another perfect choice for dewy, wedding-ready skin. To ease pre-wedding stress, a relaxation massage with aromatherapy oils will melt away any tension, while a lymphatic drainage facial massage reduces puffiness and enhances circulation. Alongside professional treatments, a consistent athome skincare routine with quality cleansers, serums and SPF is essential to maintain results and keep skin healthy. We recommend starting treatments a few months in advance for best results, with a final facial a week before the day. This ensures a naturally radiant glow so you can walk down the aisle looking and feeling your best.

The team at F.Hinds (www.fhinds.co.uk) says: When shopping for your wedding rings, you must consider various factors, including your lifestyle, budget and even your engagement ring. Don’t forget to give yourselves time to explore your options, as finding the perfect rings can take longer than you might think. •Comfort is important You’ll be wearing your wedding ring every day, so comfort is key when choosing it. For this, you must consider the shape of your wedding rings. The most popular shapes are court and D-shape. Many find court-shaped rings the most comfortable because they’re rounded on the inside and the outside of the band, whereas others prefer a D-shape because they’re flat on the inside and sit flush against the skin but are still rounded on the outside. •Choose the right metal There are various metals to choose from, such as yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, palladium and even titanium. Yellow gold, white gold and platinum are the most popular, and palladium and titanium are often chosen by those who work hands-on jobs as they’re hard-wearing. Each metal has care requirements, so consider these when shopping. •Consider the style you want When choosing a wedding ring, you’ll find various styles to suit every preference. Some opt for a classic plain band, while others prefer diamond-set or shaped designs that pair seamlessly with their engagement ring. You can also explore crossover, patterned and woven styles, among many other unique options. •Shop together It’s surprising how much of the wedding planning process is done separately, given that marriage is all about partnership! We strongly encourage couples to shop for their wedding rings together to share ideas, offer honest opinions, and support each other in finding the perfect match – it’s a wonderfully romantic experience.
