here's a breakdown of what i'm seeing with your strobe lighting:
5-keep in mind, i'm a natural light guy and will use flash only when i think it will enhance a photo or provide lighting where there isn't-with this shot, the flash catches the stylist's arms, which draws my eye to the arm rather than the bride's face-some vignetting might also help, but perhaps placing your light on the other side of the stylist would help focus it on your bride and maybe provide a little rim on the stylist's arm-much more appealing to me
7 and 8-flash has blown your highlights-lighting does not look well controlled-perhaps you were going for a "high key" look-if that's the case, you need to find a way to get some fill underneath her eyes-they're very dark and it enhances the bags underneath
15 and 16-lighting is uneven, so even though you've captured a full length portrait, you've only lit it as if it were a much more tightly framed shot-you could either pull the light farther away or add another light/strobe if your flash isn't strong enough to handle it
30 and 31 have the same issues with even lighting as 15 and 16 (very uneven)-looks like you used the flood lights to light them, which places the source of light below them-i don't find this an attractive lighting setup and certainly unflattering to them-you could try to have them switch places so that he is lit and she isn't blown-regardless, lighting does not work for me here-considered that the columns are much better lit than either of them and will draw the eye away from your couple as a result
