Up-Styles For Weddings
Upstyles remain a popular hairstyle for brides as they have an air of class, sophistication and elegance about them. Consider a traditional chignon, low side bun or opt for a vintage wedding upstyle.
Plaited Bridal Hair Ideas
If you are looking for a fun or flirty hairstyle, consider a plaited bridal hairstyle. Our stylists are experts at twists, waterfall and fishtail plaits, up-does featuring tiny plaits, and plaited hair pinned half up.
Long Wedding Hair Ideas
We can create beautiful wedding hairstyles for long hair. Wear your hair straight or curly, or ask us to dress it up with plaits or to create a half-up style. If you have a special bridal theme, we can also create a wedding hairstyle in keeping with that theme.
Wedding Hair Ideas For Short Hair
Short hair is surprisingly versatile when it comes to creating wedding hairstyles. Your first step is to have a great hair cut from one of our experienced stylists. We can then use the right products to help create long-lasting volume or texture. Bring along any bridal hair accessories – jewels, veils, flowers etc – so we can create a wedding hairstyle you will absolutely adore.
Hair Trials For Brides & Bridesmaids
Before the big day, we recommend that the bride & her bridesmaids book in for at least one trial session a few months before the wedding day. This allows us time to try some different bridal hairstyles & wedding looks so that we can create the perfect wedding hairstyle for you.
If you have any hair accessories such as clips, fascinators, or a veil that you want to be incorporated into your hairstyle, be sure to bring them to the trial as this is the time to try them out and decide what you like, seeing how they sit & where exactly you want us to put them.

When should I book my wedding hair appointment?
«Most brides book their wedding hair stylist 3–6 months in advance, or even earlier for peak seasons, to secure availability and allow time for trials.
What happens at a bridal hair trial and why do I need one?
«A hair trial lets you test your desired style in advance, see how it suits your hair and face shape, and try accessories (veil, clips). It’s the best way to finalise the look and troubleshoot any issues before the big day.
How long does bridal hair styling take on the wedding day?
«Bridal hair typically takes around 45–75 minutes for a bride, plus time for the bridal party. Starting early ensures there’s enough time for all styling before the ceremony.
Should I wash my hair before my wedding hair appointment?
«Ask your stylist for their specific advice — some styles hold better on slightly day‑old hair texture, while others may need a clean base. Bringing pictures and communicating preferences helps tailor the prep.
