Available to bring the glam to any wedding party for the big day, the team will travel to any venue ready with a range of services to make everyone feel special. Exciting times lay ahead with new premises due to open in June 2021 and a just-launched range of bridal hair-wear. Director Olivia Hont tells us “During the first lockdown, I decided the time was right to work on something I’d considered doing for a long time. I wanted to expand our bridal business to offer a hair accessories range consisting of veils, tiaras, hair combs and hair vines.” Having worked in the industry as a hairstylist, Olivia found that wedding hair, beauty and accessories together often worked out expensive for brides, so her goal was to create something affordable for all budgets. She says, “I feel we’ve really achieved this with our first collection without compromising the quality and beauty of the services and products.” Olivia continues, “We always want our brides to look glam and classy, at the same time as elegant, and most importantly looking and feeling themselves. That being said, we’re always open to diversity and love when a bride has her own unique style. We therefore offer a custom veil service for brides who’ve imagined, but not yet seen their dream veil.” The bespoke service is available via appointment at the studio where a member of the team will be happy to go through samples and options. The entire collection, both delicate and beautifully understated is now available at www.sisterhoodliverpool.co.uk www.face book.com/connormoorephotography 10
