Your Somerset, Glos & Wilts Wedding - December/January 2024/2025 (Issue 104)

UNDERSTATED LUXURY Rachel Terrett from Salt and Scent (https://saltandscent.co.uk) says: For 2025 we see couples looking to embrace the natural style of their venues to create a refined, effortless elegance that exudes sophistication without being overly fussy or extravagant. In doing so, they’ll be bringing together a day that feels both elevated and natural, combining timeless beauty with a sense of ease. Our clients are leaning towards soft, subtle tones of colour – greens, pastels and whites to create a stunning palette that feels serene yet impactful. This allows the beauty of the surroundings and decor to shine, rather than competing with it. We love to curate designs that capture that effortless look while ensuring every piece fits perfectly within the overall vision and incorporating plenty of personal details. From florals, linens, furniture, and stationery we source items that add depth and texture to create an atmosphere that feels polished yet personal. Lighting is another element that should never be underestimated. Whether through soft candlelight, highlighting external areas, or evening production, it can change the overall style and feel. Next year is going to be all about perfectly curated, understated luxury. https://jasmineandrews.co.uk SOFT GLAM Becky Pattenden from Beauty & Hair By Rebecca (www.beautyandhairbyrebecca. com) says: With 2025 just round the corner, brides will be looking at styles for their wedding day hair and make-up. When it comes to hair, I feel we’ll be seeing a trend towards the sleek and sculpted look. Think perfectly coiffed hairdos like a straight, high ponytail or a low chignon for a more structured and sophisticated look. The effortless glam vibe will also be popular. Think loose waves or a low, textured bun that looks polished yet naturally beautiful. I predict make-up will be leading towards natural beauty. Brides will seek to enhance their natural features with luminous, dewy skin with soft, neutral tones for the eyes, cheeks and lips. For brides who prefer a more stand out look though, make-up will feature bold eyes and soft lips with earth- or jewel-toned eyeshadows alongside soft, natural lip colours in shades of pink, peach or nude. Brought together these trends in hair and make-up form a fusion of elegance and minimalism, where soft glam make-up paired with undone hair styles like loose waves of a low, textured bun reigns supreme. Think luminous skin, subtle contouring, and soft shades of blush pink or peach on the lips and cheeks. Key features of the effortless glam look include luminous dewy skin with a lit from within glow; soft neutral tones for eyes, cheeks and lips; loose, textured hairstyles such as undone waves or messy buns; and minimalist, yet chic accessories such as thin gold hairpins or delicate pearl details. This trend is perfect for brides who want to look like themselves, just with a touch more elegance and finesse. https://jasmineandrews.co.uk 62
