Worth over £150, the goody bag was jam-packed full of full-sized products from gorgeous brands such as Pixi, Charles Worthington, ALLEVEN, Miss So. Plus each VIP guest received 10 full-size supplements by Gold Collagen.

Founded by two bridal journalists, The Bridal Beauty Company is a 360-degree platform including live events, online content and curated beauty boxes. ‘Sophie and I are beauty obsessed and alway have been. As beauty and bridal journalists and having got married ourselves, we know how important beauty is for every bride,’ says co-founder Arabella. ‘From discovering the perfect skincare regime, sourcing beautiful makeup for the big day, overhauling every aspect of your fitness and wellness journey, to sourcing for that perfect scent, the options can seem endless and intimidating.’

‘We wanted to create an immersive event to bring this to life under one roof and so The Bridal Beauty Festival was born. It’s been the most amazing journey, supported by incredible brands and we can’t wait for Spring/Summer 2022.’

Charlotte Tilbury’s Pro MUA’s offered brides make-up tutorials and expert skincare tips and headline sponsors PIXI created a stunning space, complete with rows of gorgeous PIXI skincare, enough to make us swoon. Plus Amanda Bell, PIXI’s Global Director of Brand Education and Artistry hosted jam-packed live demo’s on the TBBF Live Talks Stage. Haircare experts and headline sponsors Charles Worthington treated guests to live hair styling, demos giving their top tips for big day hair perfection. Benefit Cosmetics Brow Experts were on hand for mini brow consultations.

Penhaligon’s perfumers scented the space with their sumptuous candles whilst helping brides find their dream big day scent. ‘We absolutely loved to be part of the bridal festival, being able to connect with so many engaged visitors and brides-to-be who were ready to discover their new favourite fragrance with us,’ says Alexandra Cernanova.

‘Brides-to-be were invited to step over for a Penhaligon’s Fragrance Profiling, where an array of fragrances were experienced, and a range of emotive and open questions were asked. The guests were able to find their signature wedding scent; The Favourite, Elisabethan Rose and Empressa were firm favourites! The candles, that scented the ballroom, also caused quite the intrigue. Offering an alternative yet splendid way to scent your wedding.’
