Bridal Beauty: 5 Fabulous Ideas For Your Wedding
Perfect for the wedding party …
FOR THE BUILD-UP
The Merrion Hotel has launched a 24-hour stay that’s dedicated to refreshing, rejuvenating and resetting – just what you need when you’re building up to a wedding. The Merrion Hotel Sunday Night Reset experience is the ultimate in relaxation at any time of year, and makes a great gift for someone you love, whether for Mother’s Day, a special birthday or just because you need a boost and a touch of luxury.
The package includes a host of gorgeous treats, including champagne on arrival, a dinner highlighting vegan dishes, an overnight stay, a one-hour full body massage and access to the hotel’s health club (including sauna, steam room, gym and swimming pool), followed by breakfast and a 50-minute yoga class. There’s even a gift to take home with you! Available on selected Sundays, starting at €425 per person, based on double occupancy.

FOR MAKE-UP
The Chanel spring/summer beauty collection lends itself to weddings, with softly flattering shades and textures that enhance, but never dominate. Try Jeux de Lumiere multi-use Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette, €85, with silvery and gold pink tones, and finish with a manicure in Le Vernis Poete (€33), a blush peach. The Rouge Coco Balms for lips are also soft and shiny, with a moisturising finish.
