Q&A Local expert Georgia Ward reveals all Beauty HAIR-RAISING Can you give me some fairytale-inspired hairstyles for my upcoming wedding? Meet the expert: Georgia Ward is the talent behind Georgia Claire Bridal, providing professional and experienced bridal hair styling in the South West. Based in the heart of Regency Cheltenham, Georgia works with brides and the bridal party to create wonderful wedding day looks and loves nothing more than experimenting with both classic and boho hairstyles. Georgia says: If you’re thinking of choosing a fairytale-inspired wedding theme, think ethereal, boho and whimsical! You can’t go wrong with a half-up, half-down style which can be altered and tailored to suit your hair type. This could be kept classic and subtle, or involve intricate twists and braids. If you’re worried about not having enough hair to make a half-up style work then I would suggest considering some clip-in hair extensions to add density, volume and length if desired. If you’re thinking of hair extensions, make sure you choose good quality real hair in them. For brides who prefer to wear their hair up, but still want to achieve that pretty fairytale vibe, you could opt for a voluminous ponytail with some chunky boho braids and twists to give it a unique edge, or get creative with a bespoke bun which always looks great and is versatile. One of my favourite styles to create is a loose, textured bun with pretty tendrils carefully placed and woven throughout the hair. Add some fresh gypsophila dotted in it to finish the fairytale look. www.georgiaclairebridal.com; www.instagram.com/georgiaclairebridal; www.facebook.com/georgiaclairebridal WHAT’S NEW?
