Choosing a hair style to suit multiple bridesmaids

Q – I have 10 bridesmaids, and I’d like to choose a style for their hair and make-up that will suit everyone. Do you have any suggestions?

"When it comes to dressing your bridesmaids, however many you have, you could either opt to have a similar style as you or go for something completely different. This is where your professional stylist will come into their own, as they will be able to advise you on what’s best, given the time you have to get ready. Something simple is often best for maids. Keep in mind if you’re all getting ready for 12pm then it will be a push to get everyone looking wedding-ready, so you will have to start at 7am and possibly compromise on the hairstyle. For example, a quick up do can work wonders as opposed to tirelessly tonging hair for hours.

"Don’t forget the mother-of-the-bride! If you’re lucky enough to have her around, then make sure she shines brightly."
