More info here ⬇️⬇️ Contrary to popular belief, updos can actually be WAY quicker than down styles. A lot of people think down styles are ‘just curls’, but actually there’s way more to them than people think ESPECIALLY if you have people in your bridal party with a lot of hair, or hair that doesn’t hold a curl. The beauty of an updo, is often that you don’t have to curl or prep every strand of hair on the head, making them a quick, realistic option if you have lots of bridesmaids who need their hair done on your wedding morning. With down styles, or half ups every single hair on the head needs curling and perfecting! Make sure to have a chat with your hairstylist, so you can find out what’s realistic in the time available on the wedding morning 🥰.

Here are my tips to keep your wedding makeup looking natural… 🌸 Natural makeup is more about enhancing what you already have, so have a think about what your favourite feature is and base your look around that! 🌸 If you want that barely there skin look, you’re going to need to get your skin in as good shape as you possibly can - so a consistent skincare routine in the run up to the wedding is going to be really important. 🌸 Find a makeup artist that specialises in natural looks - most makeup artists have a look they specialise in, so there’s no point booking a full glam artist if you want a natural look and vice versa. 🌸 A lot of natural looks feature mostly neutral colours, but if you want a pop of something brighter go for it! You can use that brighter element as your statement and keep the rest of the look more pared back. 🌸 If you still want some coverage on your skin don’t panic, applied in the right way it can still look natural. My lovely bride Bex in this reel is actually wearing a fairly full coverage base - you wouldn’t think it though would you? Still looking for a natural makeup artist for your wedding day? I’m currently booking 2024 and 2025 so drop me a DM for some more info!

If you’re a bride with naturally curly hair keep reading…. 🌸 The first thing you are going to want to think about if you want to use your natural curls or not… all your wedding hair decisions will be based off of this! 🌸 If you’re hoping to wear your natural curls, make sure your hair stylist is confident working with your hair type. Unfortunately curly, afro and textured hair isn’t covered in a lot of hair training, so not all stylists will know how to work with your hair. 🌸 If you’re wanting to wear your natural curls, have a think about what day they usually look best - wash day, day 2, day 3 etc. This will help you decide when you need to wash your hair before the wedding. 🌸 If you’d rather wear your hair smooth for your wedding day, your curls are going to need to be blow dried straight. Sometimes this can be done on the wedding morning, but often it’s more practical to book a blow dry or blow dry your own hair smooth the night before the wedding. It’s important the hair is blow dried, and not straightened with straighteners as this can make the hair very hard to work with. 🌸 Have a think about timings, often curly hair needs styling from wet (diffusing for my curly girls, blow drying for my smooth girlies) which obviously takes longer, and is sometimes charged as an extra service. Make sure to talk to your stylist so you can find out what is realistic to do on the wedding morning, and if any steps can be taken the day before. I styled the hair in this reel from wet on the wedding morning, and it took me around 2.5 hours. 🌸 If you’re a natural curl kinda gal and are limited on time on the wedding morning, a heat tool such as a chopstick wand might need to be used instead of diffusing to define your curls.

The safety of my clients is super important to me, here’s how I keep my kit clean and safe for use ⬇️⬇️ 🌸 I deep clean my brushes between every use with antibacterial soap and water. 🌸 I’ll always bring enough brushes with me so I have a clean set per client and don’t need to spot clean between faces. 🌸 Powder products are sprayed with 70% isopropyl alcohol between each use - this kills any germs on the surface of the product. 🌸 Cream and liquid products are decanted onto a sanitised palette or the back of my clean hand before being applied to your face - I’ll never apply an applicator directly to your skin. 🌸 I don’t use sponges often, but if I do they will be disposed of after each use.. it’s impossible to get a sponge fully clean all the way through! 🌸 And of course, my hands will be washed or sanitised between each client.

Bridal hair tips if you have short hair ⬇️⬇️ 🌸 Don’t let people talk you into growing your hair for your wedding, unless that’s REALLY what you want. 🌸 Don’t rule out an upstyle, you’d be surprised at what kind of updos can be achieved on short hair. 🌸 Be open to your stylists suggestions - if you’re after a specific look, we might recommend you invest in extensions. 🌸 Don’t overthink it, if you want to keep your hair short, sweet and simple for your big day, then go for it!!
