    My favourite is the bun with flower, rather than all the curls. As for the make-up, I don't think it look too much at all, I like the silver colour...I'm a big eyeshadow fan Smiley smile

    I don't think the make up is too heavy at all - got to bear in mind that on camera the colours etc need to be a bit more than you normally would have to show up! Your eyes are gorgeous in the pics!

    Which hairstyle are you going for? Loving the hair flower! xxx

    Love the make up and definately don't think it's too heavy.

    I also prefer the hair up but then that's similar to how mine was so that's probably why I prefer it!

    OOh you look luffley, don't worry about the heaviness of the eye shadow, you'll be grateful for it once you've seen the pictures (think make up on tv) and plus with it being heavy it'll last longer.

    Plus I like the hair up option, looks far more glamourous

    I'd stick with it honestly Smiley smile

    Awww ladies you have made me feel lots better about the whole wedding thing (I am not one for being on show)and especially wary of wearing more than a dash of mascara!

    I agree the low side bun is my favourit option I am going to have a rose in my hair instead of an orchid florist is going to wire some up to match my flowers.

    Bridesmaids both have medium lenght bobs so thinking soft curls with a bit back for them and again some fresh flowers.

    Though I ought to add the flower is one the hairdresser picked of an orchid at the salon so I could see what a flower would look like. She is so lovely I feel quite lucky to have had her suggested.

    Also just ordered jewellery from lisaloulou so excited by that now.

    ? waaah i can't see them Smiley sad damn work firewall!

    but from what i can read it sounds like you look gorgeous. heavier make up than normal is needed given the flashes from the tog, so you'll need more than normal to make yourself look normal, IYSWIM? i also remember someone on here saying that a friend of theirs had an orchid in their hair, but got utterly crushed after a while? so the rose sounds good.

    I think this looks lovely!

    I agree re. The bun with the flower, it's super sleek.

    The make-up adds a little definition to your eyes, so will look great in photo's making you look more defined! ?

    Yes, the eye make-up is gorgeous. Probably a bit too heavy to wear for a quick trip to Tesco, but this is wedding make-up so you need to have more definition around the eyes than usual so the photos pick them up better.

    The bun with the flower is my favourite hair do too. I want something similar for my hair so slightly biased!

    Make up looks great and I agree with the other posts about it being right for the photos, not too heavy at all.

    Fave hair style is the side bun with the flower, very elegant

    I love the middle hairstyle, it looks very elegant and pretty! I don't think the makeup is too much, the colours are dark but they have been applied very subtly which is gorgeous!

    Hey, drifter, where are you getting married and who is your make up artist/hairdresser? Might be helpful to some of us ladies potentially.

    It's nice to see what you look like after chatting over last few months.

    Your make up looks great and I love all of the hairstyles. I think that the updo looks really nice and I love the flower in your hair.

    Very nice.

    Its all becoming very real!!

    You getting excited? I'm really nervous!

    I would have to agree with everyone else. The hair up is the better one and the makeup is definitely not too heavy. You need it to be heavier than normal so it stands out in the photos x

    Yet more thankyous to all of you ?

    Had a rotten day and all your input has helpped cheer me up no end, its nice to be reassured about the make-up and opinions on hair as I had no one to ask at the time.

    Cricket Bride I can supply that information.

    My Hair Dresser is based in Tetbury she is called jo and works at Mayners by Ali and Jo

    Lovely lady who was suggested to me by a friend of my sisters and she hasn't dissapointed so far.

    She will do hair in the salon and charge per head or you can book her out (this is what I'm doing so she is coming to the house first thing and stays for as long as we need her or until we leave for the church. \she is doing my hair and the 2 bridesmaids and then she is happy to do the hair of anyone else that she can fit in in the time. So my step mum and future mother in law are both having theirs blow dried and their fascinators put in this is included in the price)

    My Make up lady is called Elle Hitchens

    She is bristol based but does travel (not sure how far) she is also lovely and a real star when I had my trial she has lots oflovely photos of real brides she has done on her website
