6 | May 2012 | woman this month Welcome EDITOR's letter Falling in love is easy for some, but there are others that wait a lifetime to meet someone with whom they feel that strong connection. So, when you do find the person you’ve been looking for, it is only natural that you would want to cement your tie to them forever. We are coming up to wedding season here in Bahrain. This means that brides everywhere will be dashing around trying to find the perfect dress, the venue with the most ambiance and the flower arrangements that perfectly co-ordinate with the bridal party’s outfits. All this organising can be very stressful, which is why Woman This Month would like to help you out, wherever possible. So, check out our wedding planner’s survival guides, have a look at our bridal fashion features and be sure to read our makeup and beauty tips. For those of you who don’t have weddings on the brain, we have a special makeover feature! One lucky reader was treated to a full-on Spring/Summer revamp, from makeup, to hair and clothing. We lead you through a step-by-step guide to the two different looks. As usual, we have all the regular parenting, food and wellbeing features. Everything you need to make May your makeover month!
