Your North East Wedding - May/June 2022 (Issue 50)

Those in-the-know solve your wedding dilemmas EXPERTS HAIR TODAY… My husband-to-be wants scalp micropigmentation to hide his hair loss. Are there any dos and don’ts when it comes to this? Scalp micropigmentation is cosmetic tattooing that offers a solution to hair loss by replicating hair follicles, giving the impression of a shaved head or, in some cases of patchy loss, a fuller look. Non-invasive and requiring no downtime, it’s performed over three sessions to build up a range of pigment colours, thereby giving a more natural effect. I’d recommend your partner starts his journey in plenty of time, as it takes between six to nine weeks to see results. In terms of dos and don’ts, avoid chlorinated pools, saunas, steam rooms and tanning beds for 28 days after his final scalp micropigmentation session. I also recommend no scrubbing, shampooing or shaving over the treated area for four to five days after each treatment. If he does any of these things during the healing process, it might remove some of the pigment, which will affect the result of the procedure.

If a couple wanted to stick with tradition, then the order for the wedding party to arrive to the ceremony would be the groom and groomsmen first, approximately 30 minutes before the ceremony. While the best man is keeping the groom calm, the groomsmen and ushers are on hand to greet guests and get them seated. Second to arrive, around five to 10 minutes before the service, are the bridesmaids and flowergirls, along with the mother of the bride. At this point all of the guests and groomsmen should be inside. Last to arrive would then be the bride and her father. While this might be the traditional way, it doesn’t mean you have to follow it! What does tend to stay the same is the groom first and the bride last, but we often have the bride travelling to the ceremony with her bridesmaids, especially if it’s a smaller wedding. It’s refreshing to see a more relaxed approach – after all, the main thing is that everyone enjoys the big day. Paul Campbell | Campbell Wedding Cars https://campbellweddingcars.co.uk Ask the 70
