Q&A Beauty Our two experts answer your hair and beauty dilemmas SHE’S GOT THE LOOK We’re having an autumnal 2023 wedding and I’d love my bridesmaids and I to have soft, romantic hairstyles. What do you suggest? I recommend an effortless low bun for your bridesmaids, with horizontal volume leading into it. You can take inspiration from this photo, as it was the most perfect style that bride Natalie and her bridesmaids trusted me to choose. You can easily dress the style up a little more by having it sleek, or you can have it a little dressed out for a more grungey look. Both of these ideas are perfect for an autumnal wedding – and the best thing about this style is that it suits all hair types! Buns like this look amazing next to waved curls, seen here on Natalie, which have been half pinned at the back. In my eyes it’s a timeless look that never goes out of style.

What would you advise to turn heads at my wedding? On your big day, the most important thing is that you look and feel the very best version of yourself. Always start with skincare, even if it’s just the basics. Why? It gives the best canvas for your make-up and helps it last into late night dancing! If you have booked a make-up artist, work closely with them to perfect the ideal look for you. In my opinion this all starts by booking a trial, as you may or may not know what suits you – and that’s where an experienced make-up artist comes in to the equation! A trial will also give you the chance to see how your skin wears the make-up, as the last thing you want is a look that doesn’t sit well throughout the day and night. Finally, once you find your dream lipstick and shade, make sure you have it with you throughout your wedding for top ups!
