Your South Wales Wedding - May/June 2024 (Issue 97)

LOOKING YOUR BEST 63 ON YOU All eyes Tips for looking your big day best BEAUTY QUEEN Hair and make-up specialist Charlotte Perrott from Beautystyle (www.beautystyleuk.co.uk) reveals the latest beauty trends. Soft, subtle make-up is always a winner and I’m so happy to see more and more brides opt for a fresh, neutral look, with many ditching false lashes in favour of their own natural lashes. There has been an increase in 90s-inspired looks pushing their way into 2024 hairstyles. Wearing your hair down has always been a popular choice with brides, and the request for more volume and looser curls is dominating! I love these styles, as they’re so versatile. You can add some boho braids for a more effortless appearance or pin up one side for an elegant style. With trends constantly changing and the added pressure of looking your best, we understand how overwhelming the wedding planning process can be. To help make things a bit easier, we’ve rounded up some of the region’s top suppliers and asked for their tips and trend predictions for 2024... HAIR CARE HERO Hair stylist Michelle Summers-Davies from Michelle Davies Hair (www.pembrokeshirehairdresser.co.uk) shares the most popular hair styles for 2024. I predict that 70s-inspired hairstyles will be a prominent trend for weddings this year. Brides-to-be will be going for big, voluminous curls or wave Farrah Fawcett-inspired feathered layers, bohemian braids and twists. Half-up and half-down styles with loose, flowing locks will also be popular and we’re seeing more retro headbands and floral accessories made with natural-looking waves. Wispy bangs or fringes, as well as sleek low ponytails and effortless tousled-up dos with texture and volume, are also styles to look out for. The classic plait, or roll, exudes timeless elegance and sophistication. It can be styled sleek and structured for a polished appearance or soft and tousled for a more romantic vibe, making it a versatile choice that complements various wedding styles. My all-time favourite has to be the French bob. This is a timeless and elegant choice for weddings. It offers versatility in styling, whether worn sleek for a polished, sophisticated appearance or with added texture for a sexy look. www.emilysteve.com www.roseandivyphotography.com
