    Don't let yourself get overwhelmed by bridal magazine hype over having to have the perfect hair, perfect make-up, tiara, etc. The way I'm trying to think of it is that on my wedding day I will aim to look like ME, just a better groomed, slightly more pampered me. I usually wear my hair up, so up my hair will be, just a posher (but not ostentatious and piled on top of my head, cos that's not me) 'up'. I wear natural or no make-up, so will not be caking it on on the day.

    Your H2B fell in love with you, not with a generic 'princess' type. So if you don't want to wear a tiara, don't. If you always wear your hair down, wear it down. Just with a gorgeous hairclip and maybe having had a conditioning treatment or two beforehand so it's at its best.

    Whatever you decide to do or not do with hair, make-up and accessories, you'll look beautiful, because you'll be happy.

    I have got Lancome Teinte Idole Silky Matt foundation. It's about £25 bu tit is very good and if you apply with a brush it last aaagggges. I use bareminerals day to day so that is very good too but I want a bit more coverage for W-day so will be using the Lancome, unless I get someone to do it for me but i haven't 100% decided on this :)

    You should check out www.makeupalley.com it's full of reviews for foundations and other makeup. Something for oily skin that lasts I would reccommend Revlon Colorstay or MAC Pro Longwear - you can check both out on the site I named above and also reviews on youtube - you will see they these 2 come very highly recommended by a lot of make up gurus!!

    Laura Mercier primer and tinted moisturiser is amazing..extremely light so doesnt feel like you have make up on but amazing coverage. A little pricey but lasts ages and well worth it. :)

    I picked up a leaflet for local college i can get cleanse,tone,moisturise and make-up application for that special occasion for £7.00 got to be worth a go if for ideas if nothing else.

    I quite fancy some caci non surgical face lift as well :O £15 or the g5 full body massage a mechanical massage treat to produce a more invigorating effect on the muscles and tissue. £10 or the studio specialised facial treat programme £10.00

    If anyone is in oxfordshire its at the witney campus of witney and abingdon college and the phone number is 01993 208093
