DIARY OF A BRIDE

Ding-dong the bells are going to chime!

Wedding planning can start months, even years, in advance. With a little help from Team McKnight, our bride Vanessa’s hair journey began right here in Studio 53, and here we share each detail - from care routine and hair trial through to her London official ceremony and Ibiza celebrations.

We loved creating the hair of Vanessa’s dreams, not only for those special days, but for her happily ever after.

DIARY OF A BRIDE

GET YOUR PREP ON

It's never too early to get your hair into great condition. Healthy hair will always look chic and glossy: split ends and parched lengths will look lacklustre and struggle to hold to a style.



Vanessa has beautifully thick, long hair, so Valerie from Team McKnight recommended she use colour-enhancing, split ends repairing and strengthening trio of Rich Cleanse, Nourish, and Deeper Love three months before her hair trial.


YOUR HAIR TRIAL

“My hair is thick which I find quite tricky to style! I’m quite low key when it comes to my hair, a wash and go kinda gal. So when it came to looking at bridal hairstyles I found it really daunting!  My goal for my wedding hair was just to feel like me.”


Having a hair trial 3 months before the wedding gives you time to finesse the style, your cut, and colour. It’s best to have your wedding outfit chosen and bring photos with you to the trial, to help your stylist find the most flattering style for you.




If you have hair accessories bring them with you too; from a beautiful ribbon, your chosen veil, to a family heirloom such as a necklace to be intertwined through your hair, your hairstylist can often find a way to incorporate it into your hair.


LONDON COOL

“As we were having UK and Ibiza wedding celebrations I wanted our London ceremony to have a cool, effortless, city chic style with hair to match. I’ve been using Rich Cleanse and Nourish and my hair feels healthy and nourished. Valerie from Team McKnight prepped my hair with Modern Hairspray for hold as my hair often drops and waves don’t last and finished with Cool Girl for texture. The style lasted all day and night and really felt like the best version of my hair.”


Today's the day! 

Whether you have a professional taking care of you and your bridal party's hair, or you are styling your own, always factor in delays. A pro hair stylist will work backward from the ceremony, asking questions such as what time you will need to leave, if there is a photographer taking pictures of those last few moments, and any final touch-ups.
 
For those sharing your special day - my mini stylers such as Lazy Girl, Cool Girl and Happy Endings are perfect to throw into clutches for quick bathroom spruces. Don’t forget to ask your hairstylist for a few extra hair grips and pins - just in case.


IBIZA BRIDAL

“I knew in Ibiza I would be too hot with my hair down, and fighting frizz was on my mind. I wanted it up with a little texture and movement . This chic chignon stayed in place taking me from wedding to party and perfect to hold my veil in place too! It was a blessing on the day to have this style stay put and work with both dresses I wore.”

Ibiza is beautiful, sunny, and crucially, hot - so Vanessa wanted an elegant up-do that would keep frizz at bay. This cool chignon created using Dressed to Kill to smooth hair and Easy Up-Do  to add grip, took Vanessa from wedding to party and beyond.
