Beauty editors in their masses

hail Blink Brow Bar as a Mecca

the ‘pillars of one’s face’. BBB’s

masterful threading and tinting

will ensure perfectly sculpted

yet natural-looking brows –

they suggest you visit six weeks

before the big day. From £21.

GOLDEN DELICIOUS

James Harknett tans more than

600 brides a year and is known in

the industry as ‘the Tom Ford of

tanners’. He recommends a trial

run some time before the wedding,

then an appointment 48 hours

before the ceremony, as most brides

feel the tan is at its best on day two.

Building up the colour in layers, he

emphasises the body’s natural

contours to give a slimmer-looking

physique. £50 at the Away Spa at

W London (awayspalondon.com) or

on location (jamesharknett.co.uk)

NAILING IT

For an extra-special manicure head

to Nails & Brows a day or two

before the celebrations. Their

ultra-chic bridal nail art will entice

even the most classic brides-

to-be. From £66. nailsandbrows.me

ONE STEP AHEAD

Margaret Dabbs’ signature medi-

pedi fixes feet properly. Go eight

weeks before the wedding to make

sure their team of expert podiatrists

have time to resolve any problems.

COLOUR TO DYE FOR

The Josh Wood Colour Atelier,
