Hair and make up
Q. How to inject seasonal brights into every element of your wedding…
A. Alev Miller says: My ethos is natural make-up that's you but on a really good day so I really love it when my brides ask for something brighter and there are so many different ways to incorporate it into your look. You don't have to go bold or heavy, but a soft lilac eye, bright coral cheek or a glossy pink lip will instantly transport you into the realm of healthy wedding day glow. And who doesn't want that?
Hair accessories are also a very quick and easy way to inject some colour and there are so many options! Fresh or dried flowers, hair jewels just to name a few. Added as a side clip to waves or a pop of colour in a bun, the ways to style hair accessories are endless. With so many little details it's very easy to make sure your hair and make-up is as colourful and beautiful as you are.

Red-carpet ready
Q. I'm not used to wearing much make-up but I want to look flawless on our big day, whilst still feeling like me. Help!
A. Mathew Alexander says: For an effortless look it's important to choose a make-up artist who specialises in red carpet or event make-up rather than someone who specialises in bridal. A make-up artist with knowledge, experience and expertise in red carpet looks will know how to enhance your skin and features, without giving you a traditional bridal look. I'd always advise that you book a trial ahead of the big day to set your mind at ease. Ask for a look that'll give you enough coverage while enhancing radiance and creating definition of your face structure. A great professional will work like an alchemist, combining products to make formulas to achieve the best result.
