My Lovely Wedding - Dubai Wedding Planners + Styling
My Lovely Wedding offers styling, wedding planning and lots of pretty inspiration. It started as a blog in May 2012.
A few months ago I was a little frazzled trying to buy a new foundation. I was with Edison, it was super busy and to be frank, makeup stores just scare me. I’m always so overwhelmed. I have no idea and usually, I ask Monica to shop for me, or we buy online together because she knows my skin, and knows exactly what shade I need. It was my experience that inspired this blog post. I left a well know beauty store… Keep Reading
Forever February – A blog by the lovely Monica at MHG Beauty. Who says we should celebrate love only 1 day a year? I am a believer in celebrating love all year round. With that said, who doesn’t love an excuse to celebrate the love we have for one another? February is full of roses, chocolates, hearts, and smiles everywhere. So we came together to create a Valentine’s Day theme inspired wedding shoot just for you. Paula Scalco, both photographer and… Keep Reading
I first met Ailene when she was doing the makeup for one of my lovely brides Norris. Norris was perfection, she looked amazing and I know she was so happy with the results. Ailene is an accomplished and creative makeup artist with experience in all aspects of makeup including glamour, bridal, period/cultural, special effects, ageing, photoshoots and fashion shows. Ailene’s diverse background makes her one of the best in town and I’m so excited that she’s now part of the… Keep Reading
It’s amazing how many times my clients get scared when they see me pick up the eyelash curler. I understand, it’s probably because you had a bad experience with one, but believe me, when you use a good quality one and master the technique, you will never want to not use it again. Many eyelash curler’s cushion is made out of plastic, this is not ideal because they tend to break your lashes. Instead look for one that’s made of… Keep Reading

Hello Lovelies! How are you all? I’m so sorry I haven’t blogged in about two weeks, it’s been pretty full on with work and to top it all off my little Adeline is enjoying bed time like she should. Anyway, I finally have some admin time and I’m so happy to post this blog for you today. The lovely Monica at MHG Beauty has put this together and I love how personal it is. I also love bridesmaids… obviously because… Keep Reading
Hey Folks, Today I’m back with Monica with a rather hairy subject (sorry, I couldn’t resist lol) – Should you cut your hair before your wedding day? It’s one of those questions she gets asked a lot, so she thought she would blog about it. Good news for us! To cut or not to cut…… I am frequently asked by my beautiful brides if they should cut or trim their hair before their special day, so I decided to share… Keep Reading
We are back again with the lovely Monica at MHG Beauty, and today she has some fab tips for you on keeping your brushes clean. (Something I really need to do… I can’t imagine how gross they become after months of use and never being washed, it’s actually a pretty nasty thought lol) And over to Monica… Ever thought about the amount of bacteria that goes into a brush not only from the contact with your skin but from lying… Keep Reading
It may sound strange but as I was putting together my last blog about Monica at MHG Makeup, I finally got to add www.mhgbeauty.com to Monica’s links. For those of you who are new to MLW, Monica is one of my favorite make up artists in Dubai, as well as a good friend. Until now she’s only had a Facebook page. Maybe it’s my pregnancy hormones but I got a little emotional. I got distracted and ended up browsing through her… Keep Reading
