Our Shoot - Behind the Scenes

Did you love our shoot in the Sunday Mail today?

Check out our behind the scenes photos getting hair and makeup done.

The fabulous Michelle and her team at In Therapy at Red Hill know how to make you look fabulous. They can help with all tanning, makeup, nails, waxing and the must have treatment for your formal, Eyelash Extensions! Michelle's tips to get your Formal ready are "The makeup trends for Formals change yearly and with the seasons. At In Therapy we keep up to date by attending the latest workshops provided by the professional beauty industry. We strongly believe in the virtues of Mineral Makeup which can provide everything from a glamour finish to a natural glow. Its always great if two or more girls have their makeup done together as the experience becomes part of the first formal occasion memory"

Our hair stylist, Evie from York Hair Artistry is an expert is a regular rock chic of hair. Her tips for great formal looks are "For us, Formal hair is about expressing yourself freely and going with what best suits your personal style. The biggest mistake is trying to emulate another person's look" Check out the website or call her today to book!

Limo By James... The coolest limo service in Brisbane

We caught up with James, limo driver extraodinarre and general nice guy to chat what's hot in Formal and Limo fashion!

>>Larger groups opting for the Hollywood / Rockstar - Super Stretch Hummer / Chrysler 300C Limousines with Plasma Screens playing the latest videos, and the bar stocked with Red Bull.

>> Smaller groups of generally 1 or 2 couples opting for Luxury and Quality over Quantity - BMW 7 Series,
Mercedes S Calls, Classic Rolls-Royce to Travel and Arrive in Style.

>> A New Trend we would like to see emerge is the increased use of Euro Cruisers (Luxury Vans for up to 6 to 7people which are the most popular Limousine option in Europe where 4 or more people are being Chauffeured.
Euro Cruisers have many advantages - they allow 2 or (sometimes 3)couples to face each other and talk and some have automatic opening and closing doors. Unlike
Super Stretches they can pick up and drop off right out front of any Formal Venue. They are approx. half the price (per person) of Super Stretches.
For real effect, hire 2 or 3 and drive in convoy to your Formal... it's very Hollywood!
