LOOKING YOUR BEST 61 All eyes on you The latest fashion and beauty trends BEAUTY QUEEN Make-up artist Joanne (www.joannelucasmakeupartistry.com) shares her wedding trend predictions for 2025. I have always been a lover of shimmer eyeshadow; even a subtle shade can really make your eyes pop and stand out. I particularly enjoy using a sparkle topper to elevate a look, especially for the wedding reception. My favourite product for this is the Jordana Ticia Twinkle Tower, which includes four versatile shades that complement any make-up style. As more brides seek to glam up their eyes for their special day, one of my favourite techniques is using a black liner. By softly smudging the liner, it creates definition without making the look too heavy or dramatic, resulting in defined eyes that maintain a soft, romantic feel. This smudged liner pairs perfectly with lightweight individual eyelashes, enhancing the overall effect and making the eyes appear more open and captivating. When it comes to achieving the ever-so-popular dewy complexions, adding dimension and definition to your features is key. I rely on finishing powders that provide a multidimensional finish, and I absolutely love using the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, which includes a bronzer finisher. This allows me to create a matte base for longevity and then add a radiant glow later, making it perfect for brides who need their make-up to last 12+ hours while looking fresh throughout their special day! With trends constantly changing and the added pressure of looking your best, we understand how overwhelming the wedding planning process can be. To help make things a bit easier, we’ve rounded up some of the region’s suppliers and asked for their tips and trend predictions for 2025... SEARCHING FOR THE ONE The team at Melissa Marie Bridal (www.melissa-mariebridal.com) tells us what wedding dress styles will be popular in 2025. With 2025 fast approaching, it’s all about making a statement on your wedding day. Like in previous years, the beautiful addition of ruffles and appliqués will never fade; however, we predict lots of bows and ribbons for 2025. Short dresses will also be on trend. Either collaborating with a short mini-length for the reception or for a summer wedding. Sheer panelled dresses, tulle sleeves with pearls, and styles with a flow of pastels are also making a comeback, and we are absolutely loving the embellished top with a plain bottom look. It’s not all about the dress though; cape veils are on trend for 2025, which is a great way to create a dramatic entrance but also gives off a very elegant vibe.
