Katherine Charles looks at bringing together your Big Day look!

Writing this blog post, I am fresh from my recent hair and make-up trial which just couldn’t have gone better. I feel like I have spent so many evenings trawling the internet for inspiration about hair and make-up ideas. I have been making a conscious effort to grow my hair but it just doesn’t seem to be growing quickly enough so all the styles that I liked, I was convinced wouldn’t work for my length. I copied a few pictures of styles and hoped my poor hairdresser would be able to understand what I wanted and create some magic! Luckily for me, with very little input from me, Gemma managed to transform my hair into something which was absolutely perfect. Finding a balance between a pretty romantic style, without it looking too simple was where I thought the challenge would be, but she really managed to create a striking look and even won me round to the benefits of hair extensions so I could create the perfect look I wanted!

Straight after my hair trial, I also had my make-up trial which was equally as successful....again, I had so few ideas to share that I was so glad that my talented make-up artist was able to create a look that is going to fit perfectly with our winter wedding.

Together, the look was just brilliant and I’d love to look like that every day! Even in my jeans and jumper, I felt like a princess so I can only imagine what it is going to feel like on the big day!

For the rest of my accessories, I have had some great buys, simply from keeping my eyes peeled while out shopping. I actually stumbled across my jewellery while in Marks & Spencers, just going to show that you don’t have to spend hundreds of pounds. I had seen similar jewellery in a wedding magazine and here was an exact replica for a fraction of the cost – result! Using this jewellery, I was also able to get a hair accessory made to match with some explanation of my jewellery and a questionable picture from me, Karen was able to match all the colours and create a unique hair decoration especially for me. I really hope that all these little experiences are going to result in my dream bridal look – I cannot wait to see it now! Only 63 days to go!
