I love this look by Clare Bellman, the talented hair and make-up artist and founder of Millie Makeup. See her expert advice about recreating recent celebrity bridal looks on page 85.

Anybody who knows me well will tell you how much I love pink (my entire home is decorated in it!) So, when I spotted this colourful wedding gown in our styled shoot on page 51 of this issue, I was in love!

Music To Our Ears

The wedding music packages available from classically-trained musician Aletheia, with more than a decade of experience under her belt as a violinist, singer and pianist come with a fully customisable setlist. She can learn music to a high standard in a short space of time meaning that if couples can’t see their favourite song on her sample repertoire list, she can almost guarantee that she’ll be able to learn it for the big day. She can also play the three instruments at different parts of the day.

Covers of recent songs that she has performed at events including from artists such as Fall Out Boy, The Foo Fighters and Green Day.

Aletheia offers payment plans for weddings that are taking place in 12 months or more so that couples can spread the cost and plan without sacrificing quality. She can also provide a digital recording of the song chosen to walk down the aisle, to help preserve the memory of that magical moment for years to come!

Aletheia tells us, “I love to help sustain a wonderful atmosphere for the time I am playing and help couples create the perfect mood for their dream day.” www.aletheiamusic.co.uk
