Your East Anglian Wedding - February/March 2021 (Issue 47)

Local experts on what’s hot for weddings in the year ahead HOT TOPIC HOT HEADS We were getting married last year but have postponed it until this September. What kind of hairstyles and accessories are likely to be on trend? Paige says: The trends I expect to see emerging in 2021 include: Paige Richards | Hair, make-up and beauty specialist | www.paigerichards.co.uk  ❤ HAIR ACCESSORIES AND JEWELS Fresh flowers have held the spotlight for a long time, but at the moment sparkly hair accessories are making a huge impact, especially stars. I particularly love that single jewels dotted through bridal hairstyles are making more of an appearance, great for an effortlessly romantic effect. ❤ UNDONE ELEGANCE 2020 gave us, what I like to call, ‘undone elegance’ and I think we all secretly welcomed this style with open arms and find it comforting. Lots of brides seem to be heading down this route in order to feel more like themselves on the big day. To get the look, think low-maintenance, up dos with loose, trailing tendrils around the face and a few perfectly imperfect moments. A style that makes you feel your prettiest, most elegant self, all while being comfortable and free from worry – hair you can dance in and wear to breakfast the next morning! ❤ HOLLYWOOD WAVES AND BEAUTIFUL BOUNCY CURLS Hair down, red-carpet Hollywood styles with accessories have been increasingly popular over the last few wedding seasons and I think we’ll be seeing a lot more of this in 2021, especially clips, such as stars and moons, scattered down one side of the hair. ❤ CHIC, LOW, BOUNCY PONYTAILS I predict this will be the year of the ponytail, styled with gorgeous hair vines and brooches. Perfectly Hollywood-waved or undone and tousled, they’re really flattering and great for showing off lovely accessories, providing intricate, romantic style with high-end elegance and comfort. ❤ CLASSIC TWIST AND BRAIDS Twists and braids will always be around and we’ll definitely see them making an appearance in the coming seasons. Twists create volume and texture while braids add romance and detail to any hair style. They can be incorporated into nearly any look especially if you want a more undone finish or to add volume. Plaiting all the hair into a large, cascading mermaid braid, entwined with accessories throughout, will be a popular option for 2021. EXPERT ADVICE 79
