The latest hair and make-up trends

Q – I want to look on-trend on my big day. What's popular in the world of hair and make-up?

"The funny thing about wedding hair and make-up is it's timeless and rarely falls foul to trends. That being said styles do come and go, but your look should mostly be a reflection of your tastes.

"Make sure you look the most incredible that you ever have while still looking like you. For example, if you're not one to wear a bold, bright lipstick or never wear your hair up, then your wedding day isn't the day to try something new.

"As a bridal hair and make-up specialist, I work closely with all my brides to create a bespoke look that best represents you and complements everything about your look, from the dress and accessories to your flowers. If you always have a plait in your hair, then you should opt for one on your big day. If you love a dramatic smoky eye, we can create a bridal version with softer bronze and gold. You as a bride isn't just you on a good day, it's the most incredible and beautiful version of you that there has ever been."
