Q&A Fashion and beauty Look and feel your big-day best with help from the professionals FRESH FACED What hair and make-up look would you suggest for an English country garden style springtime wedding? Johanna says: As we enter the spring wedding season the look should be fresh and radiant, especially for an English country garden feel. Why not switch up the traditional bridal make-up look to achieve those spring vibes? We want to move away from the wintry, heavy liners, smoky eyes and matte lips; swapping them for a fresh-faced dewy, soft glam appearance. As a spring bride you should look radiant, as though you’re glowing from within. The emphasis therefore, will be on fresh skin, pinched cheeks, natural, feathered brows and earthy bronze tones to contour the eyes. Finish off the look with a sheer natural lip. The colour will be determined by your skin tone, consisting of pale pinks and a wide range of nudes. It’s best to choose a hairstyle that will leave you feeling great throughout and will survive the fresh spring weather. Whether you’re thinking of going for hair up or hair down, there are a wide range of dos to choose from. Soft waves, straight and sleek hair, relaxed tousled buns, up dos, or the on-trend wavy ponytail. Flowers make the best hair accents for a spring wedding and they’ll complement the relaxed garden theme perfectly. CEREMONY TO CELEBRATIONS How can I switch up my bridal look from day to evening without splurging on two dresses? Heather says: This year, detachable sleeves are in! There’s something so nice about a two-in-one dress with sleeves for the ceremony, and a more casual sleeveless look for the party. It’s also useful if you don’t know what the weather is going to be like and you want a little more coverage. Detachable trains offer a similar two-in-one look, transforming a dramatic, statement gown into a slinky evening silhouette. Plus, there are hundreds of options available.
