THE BIGGER PICTURE Having fallen in love with every single one of Lush’s wedding fragrances, we moved on to an exploration of other essentials for prep to post. The Sleepy range is ideal for securing a great night’s sleep when pre-wedding jitters are getting the better of you, helping you awake relaxed and refreshed ready to face the big day ahead. Sleepy Dust with sweet lavender to dust on your pillow or set your nighttime body lotion, and Dream Time temple balm are my top picks. Grab a Rose Jam scented candle to burn during your morning preparations with your W-day team. With a 35-hour burn time, there’ll be plenty left to enjoy later bringing back memories of this joyful and exciting time. Eau Roma Water is an essential to keep on hand throughout the day. With lavender and rose water, it’ll keep you cool if you’re feeling flustered, simply spritz over makeup. Top tip: keep it in the fridge during the summer for a supercooling effect. My absolute big-day must-have is the Silky Underwear Powder. I know one bride who wished she’d known about this! It’s a great anti-chaffing solution and will soak up any moisture, such as pesky sweaty palms! It can also be used as a dry shampoo to freshen up those luscious locks. Your wedding day might be finished, but Lush isn’t. There’s also a great range of honeymoon essentials showing these folks really have thought of everything. Are your feet sore from dancing the night away? Make sure you’ve packed a Massage Bar. A solid massage oil, it’s great for pain relief and melts at body temperature. Plus, being a solid, it’s a breeze to get through security. There are also options available with magnesium oil or CBD. I love little Scrubee, a super-cute exfoliation bar in the form of a bee, ideal for smoothing any dry skin caused by dipping in and out of the pool or sea while away. On this note, Shield hair serum is also a must to protect your hair in warmer climes, with nourishing heat protection. TIME TO SPA Ten of Lush’s bigger stores around the UK have spas offering a range of treatments you can experience as a couple, making these a great choice for your wedding gift registry. Check out the Spa Party for the ultimate hen or stag gettogether. During this two-and-a-half-hour experience you and your guests will be treated to sandwiches, fresh fruit and teas paired with your treatments. You’ll also get the chance to participate in a face-mask-making workshop, while one half of the group enjoys a hand, shoulder or back massage, before swapping over. What’s more, as the bride, you’ll be gifted a gorgeous bouquet. TAKE AWAYS At the end of your consultation, you’re welcome to take home samples of your favourite products for a test drive. If you discover they’re not for you, no problem, simply book in for another consultation to take the next steps.
