Modern weddings make plenty of use of technology. If you’re looking for a dress, you will more often than not have checked models out online before heading out to the shop. And if you’re mobile, you will probably have downloaded a few wedding apps to search for your dream dress while you’re on the move.

You know the look we love at Zankyou – natural make-up that shows off your natural beauty without changing your face beyond (your partner’s) recognition. However, we think experimenting with colour and make-up or hair trends is a great way to find just the right look for you. So before you buy, why not try the free Mary Kay app, which lets you combine hair and make-up without having to even get dressed and leave the house!
6. My Wedding Music
