Our Bridal Coach Michele Paradise offers her top tips for ensuring you both look and feel fabulous on your big day


-Always get your feet measured before buying your wedding shoes. Your feet have changed since the age of 6!


-Always buy new shoes in the afternoon or early evening when your feet are at their largest. Feet swell during the day.


-Cover new shoes with cut off tights, wear them everyday for 15/30 mins to break them in at least a month before the wedding.


-Before the photo shake out your hands, gently place them on your hip or bouquet so that they look beautiful, not like a claw!


-In photos, stand at an angle with one foot slightly in front of the other. If feet are together you will look flat and wide.


-Perfection doesn't exist so stop striving for the perfect wedding. Celebrate, have fun, eat, laugh and enjoy the ride!


-Wearing a veil makes you feel different and requires a bit of practice. So put one on and practice now. It will pay off!


-Clean, shaped eyebrows open the eyes and create a wider eye they look better in the photos and you look rested and relaxed.

-Choose a creamy white dress so that it doesn't create glare when photographed and it's kinder to the skin tone.


-Don't follow make up trends for your bridal make up. Stick to a classic look and your photos will be timeless.


-In photos don't keep both arms entirely straight, bend one or both to create space between the arm and body.


-In photos rest most of your weight on one foot or the other. This looks less posey and gives a slight slimming effect.


-Focus on what you want to happen on your wedding day, not what you don't want to happen. You get what you wish for.


-When walking up the aisle please, please, please look up at your guests and your fiancé. Smile and they will smile back at you.

  1. I already had a bridal coaching session with Michele and would highly recommend it. You spend so much on photography, your dress etc... It's good to know how to work it on the day.
    Thanks Michele. Jayne Waters
