Sophie Casey is a professional make-up artist and hair stylist specialising in weddings. Her career has seen her work in fashion, film and television including on Downton Abbey. We caught up with her to ask what's trending in the world of bridal hair. She tells us, "I'm seeing a shift from boho-chic ooks to simpler yet textured styles. The tousled ponytail is trending at the moment and is simple to create with the volume on top and a soft curl or wave throughout. It looks great pinned into a low, seamless ponytail with loosely curled strands left at the front to frame the face. This style looks effortless finished with a wire hair accessory worn at the side and a veil can also be added."... read more

Award-winning international make-up artist Katy Pfeiffer talks spring beauty
Katy Pheiffer is a multi-award-winning international make-up artist based in Wiltshire, covering weddings throughout Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Wiltshire and nationwide. We catch up with her for inspiration about big-day beauty for spring weddings. She tells us, "Spring is all about new beginnings when the weather is warming up and the days are getting longer, meaning that your big-day make-up needs to be suitable for the daytime and hopefully some sunny weather!I always recommend a dewy, light coverage for a spring wedding to achieve glowing, healthy-looking skin. I use Light Wonder foundation by Charlotte Tilbury mixed with the Super Radiant Booster by NARS to add luminosity. I set the skin with Sublime Perfection Blurring Under-Eye Powder by Pat McGrath which adds to the glow without mattifying it. For gorgeous glowing cheeks, I use Cheek to Chic Love Glow blusher by Charlotte Tilbury and the Glow Face Palette by Dior Backstage to highlight the cheekbones, inner corner of the eyes and the cupid's bow."... read more
