Make-up and hair stylist Nadezhda Hardiman located in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire reveals what to consider when booking a bridal hair and make-up artist for a winter wedding

Make-up and hair stylist Nadezhda Hardiman located in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire reveals what to consider when booking a bridal hair and make-up artist for a winter wedding.

She says, "there are a few things to consider when booking your hair and make-up artist for a wedding at this seasonal time. While having a professional with you on the morning of your wedding is essential, bad weather conditions can often make it difficult for them to travel to the venue (or sometimes impossible), so check the weather forecast regularly and consider accommodating them the night before. Maybe they could stay over at the venue? It's essential that you have your make-up bag with you in the event that they are unable to make it.

Traditional winter colours are gold, silver, red and berry shades. When it comes to make-up, winter allows you to apply more dramatic shades than during the summer months. However, a good balance is essential so for example, shiny eyes contrasted with matte skin and berry red lips will look great at this time of the year.

A winter wedding allows you to create a more complicated hairdo. Why not add ribbons or even micro fairylights braided into your locks?
