I’d consider myself pretty low maintenance when it comes to hair and beauty. I really don’t have the patience to put my socks on of a morning, never mind a full face of contour. I simply apply a BB cream, a bit of powder (I’m not about that shiny face life), mascara and lip balm, after finishing off my new twice daily face routine (which by the way I can’t recommend enough. Who knew cleansing, toning and moisturising actually worked"! And I will now forever swear by Liquid Gold too – read the reviews, you’ll never look back). So when it comes to my hair and make up on my wedding day, I want to keep it pretty simple still. Perhaps a polished version of my day-to-day self, rather than pile on a face of make up that will inevitably slide off 5 minutes into the ceremony. At first I hadn’t even considered a hair and make up artist. I figured I would just do it myself, I mean what could go so seriously wrong" But then after a Bride Squad Whatsapp chat I was persuaded to go for one after all. It being the only day of my life I could probably get away with one and all. I also happen to work with an amazing hair and make up artist so that was that and I now have one lined up.

I have my trial in a couple of months time. I want to wait until my hair has grown a bit longer and for my veil to be ready before I do it, and in the meantime, I’ve been wondering exactly what it is that I want"
I’ve been looking at Pintere...
