London was abuzz with royal fever, with specially themed high teas, wedding cocktails and lots of talk of how Kate will look on her special day. I couldn't help but get caught up in the excitement of it all myself. I felt very privileged to have secured interviews with London's beauty royalty.

Kate's mane man

With an uber-chic vibe and a designer-clad clientele sporting a signature shine, it's no wonder Kate Middleton has made Richard Ward's salon her hairdresser of choice. We checked it out and got the latest tips on cut, colour and blow-dry.

Stylist and colour specialist Mario Charalambous says, "We recommend an in-depth consultation free of charge to assess your hair colour and any style changes before your first appointment."

Expert tip:"The most important feature of your hair will be how healthy and shiny it looks on the day," Richard says. "Using a weekly treatment will ensure that your colour will stay rich and your locks will have a brilliant shine."

Make-up queen

Maggie Hunt is the woman British royalty call upon when they want memorable make-up looks. Maggie created the look for the famous official engagement photograph of the late Princess of Wales taken by Lord Snowdon, featured on British stamps and in the press worldwide. Maggie gives us her tips on how to glow on your wedding day.

"I like to always bring out my brides natural beauty and play up her best feature. Everyone is so individual so I take care to create a unique look for all my brides. It's not a standard look. However a palette of neutral eye shades and peaches, pinks and corals all work well together and compliment most complexions."

Expert tip: "Wedding make-up should always be soft and pretty but most importantly it should make the bride feel beautiful," Maggie says. "I would like to think that whoever does Kate's wedding make-up will keep it natural and regal — It would be a shame to change it. She is such a natural beauty that you really just need to accentuate that beauty."

Maggie Hunt is frequently asked to create looks for celebrities such as Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz and Meryl Streep.

Skin: English rose

It's easy to get a peaches and cream complexion with the experts at London's Chuan Spa where ancient Chinese therapies and modern deluxe treatments leave you glowing from head to toe. Here are their expert tips on how to get the perfect bridal complexion.

The most important step is the initial consultation. "This is when we will decide exactly what the six-month program will be," says Katie Henry, director of Chaun Spa. "The first two or three visits should be targeting problematic areas and deep cleansing — ridding the skin of impurities and targeting blemishes, dehydration and breakouts. We also will recommend an at-home skincare routine."

Expert tip: "Don't be a blushing bride — plan ahead and be a radiant one!" advises Katie Henry, Director of Chuan Spa.

A-list arches

Known as "The Brows" of the beauty industry, with a client list that includes Elle Macpherson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Meg Ryan, Vaishaly reigns supreme when it comes to eyebrow shaping.

"Before I give my clients a new brow look I spend some time looking at their facial expressions so I can assess what shape would best suit them. There are hundreds of different shapes that you can achieve to give a woman an instant eye lift and make her look 10 years younger," Vaishaly says.

Expert tip: "Stop plucking!" Vaishaly says. "This breaks the hairs, causing the appearance of black dots under the skin causing a shadow. I prefer threading as it takes hairs out from the root."

Pretty nails

Sienna Miller, Emily Blunt, and Jemma Kidd have all had their nails filed to perfection by nail pro Trish Lomax. Here are her tips on prepping for your wedding day.

"The minute the engagement ring goes on, nails should be looking like individual jewels — filed, buffed and painted in rich, creamy shades," Trish says.

Expert tip: "Once your dress is picked, start trialling different nail hues with an expert," Trish says. "I also recommend regular manicures, and if you're on a budget a good technician will show you how to maintain your nails at home."

Bridal fragrances

"It's all about the bouquet when it comes to choosing your wedding fragrance," says Yardley managing director Quentin Higham. "It is important for aromas to complement each other, so matching the fragrance to the flowers is ideal."

Expert tip: "Some fragrances have qualities that can be beneficial for brides on their stressful wedding day," he says. " Lily of the valley provides a sense of security, while peonies are known for their calming and relaxing qualities. Roses, on the other hand, are uplifting — perfect for keeping brides positive and happy on their wedding day."
