HAIR GOALS

Q – Should I book a hair and make-up trial? If so, what should I expect?

You may have secured your date with a hair and make-up artist, but as we all have different ideas and tastes, it’s essential you book a taster session with them.

Once your hair and make-up trial has commenced, both yourself and your artist will know what to expect on the day. It’s a great time to provide feedback and discuss any adjustments you wish to make. After all, you need to feel comfortable, confident and beautiful on your wedding day.

I love meeting brides-to-be during the consultation. Although this may take four hours, it’s the only time I have to get to know you and find your perfect look.

TREND SETTER

Q – What hair and make-up styles are on trend?

A popular hairstyle is soft Hollywood waves accessorised with pearl pins or a headband. I’ve also seen a rise in textured up dos with fresh flowers or flower crowns, which is perfect for outdoor weddings with a relaxed boho vibe.

For your make-up, soft glamour with brown smoky eyes and gold pigments will make your eyes pop. Finish with wispy lashes, a bronzer and a nude lip.

Alternatively, you could opt for the oh-so-popular fresh, dewy look. It’s a very natural style that concentrates on the skin with dusky pinks and rose golds for the eyes, blush on the cheeks and a nude or pink for the lips.
