Bridesmaid - beauty treatments required - CHEAP!!

dirtyepic

Hi everyone,

I am hoping this is the thread where I should be pleading my case!!!

I am kind of Bridesmaid for one of my closest pals wedding, well she didn't want a bridesmaid so I am the 'Mate of Honour'!!!

The wedding is taking place in the swankiest hotel in Brighton in August, I am travelling from Newcastle the day before complete with MofH dress, shoes, jewellery etc.

The thing is I am the palest person you could imagine!!! The dress is strapless and kneelength. It is a gorgeous dress and the shoes are fantasticly glamorous sandals - so I am desparately in need of a beauty overhall and I will require:

A gentle false tan applied
Manicure
Pedicure

Now I've been recommended a fantastic place in Newcastle but the cost will be nearing £100 for these three treatments.

Oh yeah I also forgot to mention that I need new underwear to go under the strapless dress. I am rather large up top and there's only two places in Newcastle that sell my size underwear, so we are thinking between £25-£30 for that as well!!!

Has anyone any ideas where I can go to get this lot done cheaper?

Clarins, Aveda, nails inc - are there any vouchers available?
Also M&S or Bravissimo - any vouchers???

I honestly have no idea where to start.

Thanks in advance,

If this is in the wrong thread could someone let me know where's best to put it!!!

Cheers

Thanks Angela!

I'll pop over to BHS and see if they can kit me out!!!!

Also I did consider DIY but with the false tan its a def no-no. Even the holiday skin type tans I always make a shambles of and I don't want to be the laughing stock at this big posh do!!! Although I will more than likely open my mouth and talk absolute nonsense after a glass of bubbly or fall over or both!!! Cheers for your advice.

Then why dont you do the manicure and pedicure yourslef and have the tan done in a salon?? I'm sure you and a friend can have a girly night in and do them. Put on some daft music and have a few glasses of wine!!!

You'll have a laugh if nothing else!! I really hope you enjoy yourself. I bet its a day to remember x

Yeah, you are right. Nails are much easier than a tan!!! A drink with pals is much easier on the pocket than a salon!!!!

I'm sure it will be a brilliant day and I can't wait and I'm just the 'Mate of Honour!!!'

Thanks for your advice!!

Cheers
