Q&A Our experts reveal all about big-day hair and make-up TRIAL AND ERROR Meet the expert: Juliet Draper is a hair and make-up artist covering weddings in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and throughout the Cotswolds. She’s also a TWIA South West Regional Finalist 2021. How soon before the wedding should I book a trial? Juliet says: A hair and make-up trial should be booked at least six to eight weeks before the wedding. This is an excellent opportunity to discuss with your stylist how you would like everything to look for your special day. It’s advisable to wear a white top that is as close in shape and style to your wedding dress as you can find which will help to give you an idea of how it will look on the big day itself. Should I book my hair and make-up trials on the same day as my wedding dress fitting? Juliet suggests: This is a great opportunity to bring all the elements together and see how it looks. That way you can make adjustments should you need to. CURL FACTOR Meet the expert: Rebecca Pattenden is the creative force behind Beauty and Hair by Rebecca located in Hucclecote, Gloucestershire offering a wide range of beauty and hair treatments. What are the upcoming trends for bridal hairdos? Rebecca says: This year, a popular trend seems to be a tousled style worn down, mainly with curls and plaits, braid or twists which can be intertwined or separately pinned into place. I always recommend to consider the time of year and what the weather could be like, if it’s autumn or winter then it can potentially be blowy and wet, so think of choosing more of a curly up-do that’s pinned in place such as a bun rather than loose long waves because they’re likely to drop in that weather.
