Heaps of Hair & Beauty

Modern Wedding Posted: May 18, 2011

We’ve had a lot of requests for Hair and Beauty inspiration lately, it seems you can’t get enough hair and makeup ideas! To be honest, I’m a little the same… I love flicking through magazines and checking out other people’s great hair ideas! I find that sometimes the best inspiration comes from beautiful real brides rather than models and shoots. So with that in mind, I’ve been combing (no pun intended) through our stunning real wedding archives and have pulled together some gorgeous hair and beauty ideas. Since these aren’t specialised hair and beauty shoots, keep in mind that there won’t be the perfect front, back and side view of each hairstyle, but any good hairdresser will be able to replicate these looks if you show them what you want. Remember to always have a trial to ensure you perfect your ideal wedding day hair. And try to get your hair and makeup artists working together to create a cohesive overall look.
