Your East Anglian Wedding - August/September 2020 (Issue 44)

THE HAIR TRIAL Sharron's top tips ❤ Go with clean hair but don’t use product on it. ❤ If you normally have highlights or a colour, have it done before your trial in order to see the full effect before the big day. ❤ Wear something with a similar neckline to your dress so you can see how your hair will fall. ❤ If you have any hair accessories take those with you and your veil, if you’re wearing one. ❤ You may want to take your jewellery to try out as well. ❤ Keep a running conversation going with your stylist so they know what’s working for you and what’s not. ❤ Don’t be afraid to use hair extensions; they can add volume and help create the perfect look!

Whatever your shape or number on the dress label, body confidence is a must for that bridal feelgood factor to shine out on the day. Achieving it often involves a few lifestyle changes though. If embarking on a fitness, healthy eating or weight-loss programme are on your big-day agenda, check out Body Plan Fitness in Cambridgeshire (www.bodyplanfitness.co.uk). SPA-TASTIC!
