summer of love
Stay stunning even whenit’s scorching outside
Cleansing When it comes to yoursummer wedding. you’B wantto be glowing with health andhappiness – not shining froman oily T-zone. Use Zero OilDeep Pore Cleanser and PorePurifying Toner, both £15.Origins, which contain skm-deanng saw palmetto and broadleaf kelp to clear away excess oiland minimise pores. Or choosea mousse like Creamy MousseQeanser Makeup Remover. £58.Sisley. which lace wedding dresses will leave skm freshand clean without any greasyresidue. Remember, oil is not allbad. Your skin produces oil tokeep it supple and to protect itfrom the elements. If you cleanseyour face with harsh productsthat are not in balance with theph of your skin, your face willbe vulnerable to infection andmore likely to suffer from – youguessed it – nasty little gremlinsknown as spots. So be warned.
Moisturising Would you pul on a woollyjumper and a par of Hunters ona hot summer’s day? Of coursenot but do you use the samemoisturiser ail year round? Whenit’s hot skin is naturally moist, sodoesn’t need very heavy creams.We love Pro-Collagen MarineCream, £75. Elemis. as it’s lighteasily absorbed and fabulouslynourishing all at once. For brideswith very oily skins, go for agel – try Hydra Zen NeurocalmGel-Cream. £35. LancSme. Itsmicrocapsules mean that it’seasily absorbed providing intensehydration for around 12 hours.
Base/foundationIn the summer, when it’s hot andmake-up seems to evaporateinto thin ain a good base withstaying power is invaluable. Gofor Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation SPF 15. £28. BobbiBrown. It has an SPF so youwon’t get sunburned and it’llstay in place all day. If you dareto bare, use Urban DefenseTinted Moisturiser. £17. UrbanDecay, and a mineral foundationsuch as Compact Mineral 5 in IFoundation. £34.99. Bellapierre.around the T-zone. If you’re stillworried about unwanted shine,get one of your bridesmaidsto carry De-Slick In A Tube.£16. Urban Decay. This niftylotion can be applied underor over make-up and containsoil-blotting silicates, leaving skinsmooth and matte withoutlayers of chalky powder.
Hair Even if you regularly tame yourhair into sleek straight tresses,on a humid day you might wantto give modest wedding dresses in to your natural curl.”If you have curly or wavy hair,this is the chance to embraceyour texture!” says celebrityhairdresser Fn6d6ric Fekkai.”Apply a curl-enhancing creamto define curls and preventfrizz. A light hairspray misted onthe hair will also give you extrainsurance against frizz” We loveLemon Sage Thickening Spray.£6.95 for 75ml, Paul Mitchell,which plumps up hair makingit full while giving long-lastingresistance to humidity and fnzz.
Make-up palettesAfter a long winter hidden underfoundation it’s always a joy tolet a few rays of sunshine danceacross your face (early in themorning or in the early eveningand always wearing an SPF.otMOusly). Match your summerglow with eyes, cheeks and lipsthat add a gentle definition toyour bndal look Go for softnudes across the eyes, peachypinks with a font of sparkle onthe lips or a slick of gloss a coupleof shades darker than yournatural lip shade. Use a similarpeachy pink on your cheeks andfinish with sweetheart wedding dresses a sweep of bronzerfora flushed, healthy glow.

SO RETRO
Main and Alex enjoyed a fete- inspireddo complete with beach wedding dresses cute Fifties highlights
Bad blind dates don't usuaHy lead to lastingromance, but that's exactly what happenedwhen Man Coiquhoun and Alex Lee.both 34, tagged along to the unsuccessful fix-upof mutual friends in 2003. "We basically took overtheir blind date, as they didn't really hit it off?' Mainsays. "I just felt so comfortable and at ease withAlex - after just a few minutes he felt like an oldand trusted friend, with the added bonus of beingsomeone I fancied!"
Her intuition proved spot on. and after fiveyears of dating, Alex proposed while the couplewalked home from a boozy pre-Chnstmas lunch."He presented me with a Tatty Devine jewellerybox holding a black plastic ring in the shape of amoustache, something of an in-joke for us." MainrecaBs. "I was thrilled with the present but whenhe started putting it on my engagement finger.I said he was jinxing our chances of ever gettingmamed. He then explained that he was proposing,and I remember shneking with delight"
Less than 10 months later, the couple wedin a traditional ceremony at St Thomas' Churchin Winchelsea. East Sussex, followed by a retro-chic marquee reception on the practice groundof Rye Golf Club. "The wedding took its themefrom period festivals we've been to. such as theGoodwood Revival and the Wl tent at Best/val."Mam explains. "We wanted to create a sort of vintage wedding dresses post-war, jubilee feel"
To get in the mood. Main chose a Fifbes-styte silk prom dress and short-sleeved boleroby designer Candy Anthony, topped off with abirdcage veil by Janie Lawson. "On the day. I alsowore short cotton gloves trimmed with smallcostume pearls. Very Doris Day!" A double layer ofpink petticoats peeked out from beneath the dress,which visually linked the bride's outfit to the pinksashes on the bndesmaids' Coast dresses and thegroom's Favourbrook waistcoat "But." Main adds,"any danger of going too pink was, I think, tamed bythe reams of traditional village-fete red. white andblue bunting we used to decorate the marquee."
Other classic touches added to the vintagevibe of the day. from the 1934 Mk II Aston Martinthe couple rode to the reception in - "my fatherspnde and joy," Mam explains - to the hired retroice-cream trike and Pimm's and elderflower cordialserved at the pre-reception drinks. Both bride andgroom incorporated Cool Britannia flourishes intotheir own DIY projects, too. Main hand-pnntedguests' names onto luggage-tag place cards usinga child's rubber stamp kit, while Alex constructedthe table plan with corkboanj and a Union jackborrowed from the golf dub. As he's a professionalillustrator, Alex also designed the invitations based on short wedding dresses traditional Sailor Jerry style tattoos.
After a meal ot prawn cocktail, good okJbangers and mash, goats cheese and leek tartand Eton Mess, guests took to the dancefkxywith tunes from The Rock n' Roll Society, asix-piece band specialising in Fifties and Sixtiesfavourites. "They really got the party going andgave me and Alex the opportunity to show off ourmoves, as we'd been taking dance lessons." Mainsays. 'Towards the end of the evening. I changedout of my heels and into pink Converse baseballboots for lace wedding dresses some senous jiwig!"
