Chris says'...styling hair for weddings is a true love and passion of mine and I feel privileged to have worked on some amazing weddings.

A trial consultation is generally conducted at least 6 weeks before the big day where Chris will come to you and run through styles and ideas until you come to a decision on the perfect look. Once that has been achieved and only when you are totally happy, photographs will be taken of the look and detailed notes made to enable the style to be replicated on the wedding day.

On the day itself Chris will come to your home, venue or hotel and recreate the look you decided on and fix any headdress, tiara or veil for you. No matter how soft and natural looking, your style will last the day and night.
