Q&A Beauty Look the best version of you with our expert advice www.danibowenphotography.co.uk WINTER WINDS How can I ensure I look my best for our big day? My advice for December wedding hairstyles would be an up-do because of contributing factors such as rain, frost and high winds. Wearing your locks up will prevent all the hair that’s down from becoming wet or damp; this can cause styles to drop, especially with curls, as moisture takes hair back to its original state – no product or tool can stop this! If you’re not a fan of wearing your hair up, always remember you can soften the look as much as you’d like. However, cool temperatures can set the style, giving your locks lots of life and longevity throughout the day. But keep in mind the risk of the above factors. Hairstylists will want you to be happy on the big day, which makes them happy in return. Whatever your style, there are so many choices. A high or low bun can be gorgeous, and a boho braid is one of my favourite styles! Rea Jo Green | Rea Jo Bridal | www.rjbridal.co.uk BRIDE AND BEAUTIFUL What should we consider for when looking for bridal inspiration? Find photos of brides you love with similar skin tones and hair colour as yours! You might love what bronzey oranges look like on a tanned bride, but it may look too dark or red for those with fair skin. It’s the same with hair! Blonde highlighted hair is always going to show more texture than someone with dark brunette locks. Figure out what you love about each look if you have multiple images. Is it the glowing skin, how the eyes are done, the colour of the lips or the amount of blush? For hair pictures, do you like the volume, the type of curl, the texture or how sleek it is? Bring a photo of how you like your hair or make-up daily and for a special occasion, especially if you don’t usually wear much product. This will help your supplier decide how to make you feel confident and beautiful. Many suppliers like myself always have a visual of what will suit you, so be open-minded to discussing and trying it out. We know how to highlight the best of your features, but don’t be afraid to be honest! How you feel about yourself is the most essential part, and sometimes you can’t go without that winged liner because that’s what you’re used to. Remember, your features will differ significantly from the girls in the images, so the make-up and application may need to vary.
