School Proms | Coventry Limo Hire

Your school prom is often the social event of the year, a chance to relax after exams and say farewell to friends since everyone’s lifestyles changes direction. It is the ending of an era.  With that in mind a vast amount of effort will go into planning for the big day.  Getting a stylish prom dress is essential, but where do you start?

1.    Where to buy? While the prom might not be until July, major stores like Debenhams, John Lewis, Harrods and House of Fraser are selling some of the most gorgeous prom dresses. If you have a particular design in mind, it’s also possible to get individual prom garments shipped from China and the USA, but don’t overlook eBay, which is an useful source.

2.    Style: For 2010, anything appears to go; from the very straight sleek slender look, through the puffball dress to short attractive diamante dresses. When picking a style, select something that emphasises the best part of your body; What about a long length backless design or a low cut ball gown to show off your figure?

3.    Underwear: Something that  gets overlooked is combining your gown style with the right underwear. You may need to purchase a backless bra, halter neck or a crossover and don’t forget breast tape, a must for holding everything together. Be sure to purchase something that is comfortable and can be forgotten about. The High street store ‘La Senza’ sell discrete seamless underwear in a choice of designs.

4.    Colour: Having selected a style of prom dress that fits you the next thing is “what colour?” Ladies  tend to go for black, as it is extremely slimming but I think a pink prom dress is a gorgeous colour which will make any girl stand out in a crowd. Gold, lime green and red gowns tend to suit ladies  with blonde hair, where as blue purple and white prom gowns look good on dark haired girls. Redheads can dress in nearly all colours, green is especially nice.

5.    Accessories: Last but not least, part of  the fun of getting dressed up is adding those tiny extras which make all the difference to your final look. So spend a while scouting for those vital accessories like costume jewellery  and a beautiful tiara.
Once you’ve selected you promenade  dress and produced the look, you can start thinking about other things, like how you are going to get to the prom and what sort of arrival you want make. If you’re wanting to turn heads, why not hire a limousine? All your best friends can go together, be in the same place to have their pictures taken. It’s a fun way to start the evening.

A good hair style is vital to your look on prom night. Your prom hair wants to draw attention to your costume, makeup, and your face. As no individual style or colour will suit every girl, the goal is to achieve a look that makes you feel more self-assured and comfortable in your self.

When it comes to our hair, the majority of us aren’t fortunate enough to have the hairstyle we dream of. However, there are loads of ways to transform your hairs length and style using extensions. Hair extensions are a fun way to transform your hair style; letting it flow down, putting it up, or curling.

The thing is to experiment in advance, so you already know precisely how you want your hair to look and how to get that look.

Prom night beauty calls for much more than basically buying a gown, footwear, accessories and your limousine hire. To stand out at your prom, you will also need to beautify and polish yourself to perfection. When developing your look, start with your eye makeup so that you can correct any errors or spills without ruining the rest of your makeup.

If your eyes are your best feature and you would like to showcase them on prom night, keep the rest of your makeup low key. Use a neutral, glossy shade for your lips, with a minute amount of cream blush for a bit of colour in your cheeks. Remember to set your makeup with a coat of loose powder designed for a long-lasting look.

If your lips are your best feature, then you can emphasise them with a scarlet lipstick.The lipstick can be bolder and brighter if your eyes are neutral. “Long-lasting” lipsticks work well, but they can dry your lips out very badly, so you’ll have to keep applying the gloss right through the evening. I believe it’s best to just use a comfortable, moisturizing lipstick or coloured gloss as an alternative.

French manicure is a must for fingernails, it works well with any colour dress footwear and make up, giving a very stylish look.
Last but not least, part of  the fun of getting dressed up is adding those little extras which make all the difference to your ultimate appearance. So in the build up to your prom, spend some time to find and organise those all important accessories. A stunning tiara will add the finishing touch to your hair whilst costume jewelery in gold or silver will go down a treat…have fun!!!!!!!
