WORK IT OUT
Brides come in all shapes and sizes. Here are some great guide exercise classes tailored for specific goals:
Blast Fat: Circuit training combines cardio and strength training to burn fat and sculpt muscle, helping you burn more calories. Try Circuit Factory, with locations across Dubai.
Tone Up: TRX training is an effective total body workout, which utilises your own body weight to help tone and toughen your body. Machka Beauty and Body Design offer one-on-one TRX training, priced at Dhs1,200 for 6 sessions.
Relax: Brides to be in search of serenity can practice yoga and meditation in a unique, scenic location with one of Dubai’s many outdoor yoga schools. EB recommends Urban Yoga’s classes at Zabeel Park.
STAY PUT
Urban Decay All Nighter Make-up Setting Spray is a must for all blushing brides. The formula keeps foundation, eye shadow, blush and concealer in place, preventing it from smudging or melting – a priority if your wedding is in the UAE. With up to 16 hours staying power, it’ll take you from the ceremony to reception and long into the small hours. Dhs127, Sephora.
