A wedding day is considered by many as one of the most important days in a woman's life, says Nicolle Adrichem, one of Sydney's leading hair and make up artists. Nicolle's advice will have you looking great in person as well as in your photographs on your special day.

Your eyes should be accentuated and always be the main focal point. It is not a time to experiment with a complete make-over, but to  create the most radiant version of you, complementing your dress and personality.

Whilst spray tans have proven very popular in the last two years, we still see many that do not live up to clients' expectations, being either patchy or too orange. If you are considering having a spray tan, it is highly recommended that you have a trial first, and do not go too dark.

If you are lacking in the eyelash department, you now have a couple of options. You can choose between individual false eyelashes, which are applied on your wedding day, or eyelash extensions which usually last between four and six weeks. Both look great when applied by an experienced professional.

You may need to book your make-up artist nine to 12 months ahead if your wedding is in peak season, as in-demand make-up artists are booked out very early.

For beautiful bridal hair styles that actually last, you also need the expertise of a hair stylist that specialises in bridal design and upstyles. By contracting a mobile hair stylist, you will have a stylist on hand to pin your veil and flowers (or hair accessories) in and give your hair a final spray once you are dressed.

In 2008 we will continue to see strong influences from the 1930's and 1940's, modernised into soft flowing curls gently pinned up at the back of the head or off to the side of the nape. GHD curls will also remain popular, changing to a slightly softer bouncier curl.

Large silk flowers with Swarovski crystals and fascinators will continue to grow in popularity. Whilst some brides are still opting for the traditional tiaras, they are much smaller now, as to not dominate the bride's face.

Your hair stylist should be able to show you a large variety of hair styles that they have created, client testimonials and ongoing training that they undertake to keep up to date with the latest styles.
