First steps
Firstly you need to contact me to see if I’m available. Arrange a trial if you are having one.
Take a look at my gallery for some ideas.
Start collecting pictures from magazines etc
Get some ideas
Save pictures of styles you both like and dislike, even if you like the front of one style and the back of another as I can often adapt a style to get a look that you really want and one that suits your hair. Be open to new ideas and advice and take into consideration your dress, head-dress, height, style of wedding etc. Be realistic on whether your hair is straight/long/thick enough for the style you like.
Tiara’s and veils
These should compliment your hairstyle but not hide it. If you have chosen a large floor length veil your hairstyle needs to be sturdy enough to hold its shape until you take the veil off. Some veils look better sat at the back off the head under a mass of curls or bun. As a rule the hair shouldn’t be worn longer than the veil.
Beads, jewels and flowers
These are popular and effective giving extra sparkle and colour which can tie in with your colour scheme and jewellery.
Pins and hairgrips with sparkling gems in the ends have a lovely effect.
Small flowers scattered amongst curls or wired to a comb can co-ordinate with dress colours and bouquets.
I can obtain some accessories myself but good a place to look is www.everything-wedding.co.uk.
On the Day
Never shampoo or use conditioning treatments on the wedding day. Make sure the bridal party wears button or zip-up clothes. This will ensure you don’t mess up your style when you get changed. I will arrive in plenty of time to get everyone ready and will not leave until you all look perfect.
