As we leave a particularly cold winter behind, Spring brings with it a renewal of spirit and eagerness to repair and restore our tired bodies before the summer. And especially for those getting married, now is the perfect time to start a special skin and haircare routine. If you have visited the Olivier Laudus boutique who will have seen we are housed within award-winning hair salon Jordan Burr in London’s West End, so I took the opportunity to ask co-founder Glen Burr on how to ensure you have perfect wedding-day hair.
Glen’s top hair tips:
- Six months before your wedding day, start to get your hair trimmed regularly to encourage healthy growth.
- Perhaps you want to change your hair colour or style – make sure you do this well before your wedding day so you still have time to change it if you don’t like it.
- It is a good idea to have regular conditioning treatments in the three months leading up to your wedding; these can be done in-salon or at home. Hair can become dry and brittle over winter months so some tender loving care is essential!
- Give your hair a break from your irons, blow-dryer and hair curlers in the 3 weeks leading up to the wedding so your hair can regain its natural healthy sheen.
- And remember to nourish from within. Drink lots of water and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, and maybe even take a specially formulated vitamin for hair, skin and nails.
Competition time…
The lovely folks at Jordan Burr have given us a 25ml bottle of Moroccanoil® Treatment as a prize. This amazing smelling oil can be used for conditioning and styling and gives tired hair a much-needed boost.
Simply follow me @SangeetaLaudus on Twitter and RT the competition message to enter.
Wave goodbye to winter and start to give your hair some tender loving care this Spring.
Lots of love

For many of us our pets are firmly part of the family and so why wouldn’t you want to include them on your special day! It follows though that you need to think of how your dog would find the experience – will it be comfortable surrounded by so many people, would it find the day tiring, will your venue even allow pets and a host of other considerations including what will they wear!
We have been given a gorgeous Jojo & Jax silk lead (as seen on Made in Chelsea and You magazine) worth £99 to ensure that your pooch looks its very best on your special day!
To enter simply pop over to our Facebook page and like us and the post https://www.facebook.com/pages/Olivier-Laudus-Wedding-Accessory-Boutique/239592959431611.

We are thrilled to be supporting a fabulous new initiative in the wedding industry – Guide To Be – the UK’s first independent site dedicated to user reviews of wedding suppliers. Founded by Scots entrepreneur Eve Brill, and her sister Tessa, it fills a gap in the market for a trusted place for brides to get unbiased advice to help them plan their wedding.
(Tessa and Eve)
Eve was living in Australia when she was trying to organise her own wedding last year and found it frustrating that there wasn’t a site (like Trip Advisor) where you could get unbiased advice about suppliers and it occurred to her that there must be lots of couples needing that kind of information – which is where Guides To Be came in.
At Olivier Laudus, customer service and satisfaction is really important to us, so we are thrilled to be partnering with Guide To Be on the launch of their new Accessories category. And to celebrate we are offering these gorgeous Flora cubic zirconia earrings from the Olivier Laudus 2014 collection to one lucky winner. Visit Guide to Be for all the details on how to enter.
We wish Eve and Tess all the best with their new venture! And good luck to to all the competition entrants.
