We are beyond thrilled to share the most fabulous experience we’ve had recently, working with the incredibly talented independent couture designer Cherilyn Leeson Couture on a dreamy Parisian photoshoot!
One of our rising stars, the incredibly gifted stylist Daisy, jetted off to the fashion capital itself to work her magic behind the scenes. Yes, our very own Daisy was the official hairstylist for the shoot, and we simply have to shout about it!
Cherilyn Leeson Couture, based just around the corner from our Castlegate salon in Ashby de la Zouch, creates one-of-a-kind, handcrafted bridal gowns that are the epitome of elegance and intricate detail. Naturally, we had to deliver hair looks to match, timeless, stunning, and oh-so-chic.
Here’s the rundown of the top three hairstyles from our tres magnifique trip:
Long Beach Waves
You can never go wrong with beautifully tousled waves. Effortless yet elegant, this look added soft romance to every gown, a go-to for good reason.
The French Twist
When in Paris… of course we had to honour the classic! This elegant up-do with face-framing detail gave us all the timeless, Parisian-chic vibes. The perfect style for brides seeking simplicity with a sophisticated twist (pun absolutely intended).
Low Bun with Face-Framing Pieces
Sleek, stylish, and seriously stunning. This look brought all the glamour, proving that sometimes less is more. Whether adorned with accessories or worn as-is, it was a true showstopper.
Now we know you’re all wondering, ‘What kept these stunning styles in place and looking flawless?
