It’s not just fuller skirts and longer trains that we will be seeing, designers have also turned their attention to sleeves and given them a voluminous makeover. Giving a once traditional look a modern day twist,” shares Catherine. “Statement veils and jewel encrusted hairpieces are set to make a big impact. Whether it’s a cathedral-length, pearl-scattered veil or 3D floral embellishments 2020 brides will have a wide variety of choice when it comes to making a lasting impression. “Loose romantic waves and relaxed up dos will continue to be a requested hairstyle but to balance out those statement headpieces 2020 will see an increase in smoother, chic hairstyles with centre parts and full ponytails. And as for make-up, blush toned lids and defined pouts are a trend we look forward to seeing.” Enjoy!
