STAR OF THE SHOW Anna Sorbie, a hairstylist based in Cumbria, has released a stunning new bridal headwear collection. Anna designed this collection after working with head pieces that she felt weren’t flexible enough for brides to wear comfortably. Frustrated by beautiful and expensive pieces that weren’t functional, Anna designed this range using luxury fresh water pearls and the best quality crystals, paying attention to how they would work effortlessly in the hair.

Perfect for family-moons or pre-wedding getaways, Parkdean Resort has a range of holiday parks across the UK for couples to choose from. Xavier Vallee, the chief customer officer of Parkdean Resorts, said: “September bookings began to really take off in 2020 when aeroplanes couldn’t, and with the recent Air Traffic Control issues denting people’s faith once again in air travel, demand for our parks is continuing to soar. People fell back in love with the Great British holiday when they couldn’t travel abroad during COVID, and this September, couples and young families flocked to our parks in record numbers. After a summer of international travel chaos, domestic tourism remains a popular and trusted option for Brits looking for a fun, value-for-money and hassle-free holiday.” Head over to www.parkdeanresorts.co.uk for more information.
