So, What are the Trending Wedding Hair and Makeup Styles for 2025 Brides in the North East?
The best wedding hair and makeup for brides in the North East often follow national trends set by Big National Wedding shows and the latest bridal fashion.
In 2025, here are some popular trending Makeup looks
Luminous dewy, hydrated skin - Sunderland Brides are showcasing natural glowy skins.
Glass skin Looks - inspired by Korean - no makeup makeup
Soft, defined Eyes and warm Mocha Tones - toned down neutral eye makeup
Mythical Rosy Bridal Flush - flirty spring hues of pink and peach highlighing the Brides natural beauty
The Curated Brow - Natural, full defined brows are still making a significant impact.
Radiant skin continues to be a major trend. And I love to see Brides showcasing luminous, hydrated skin with a natural, glowing finish. Try mixing an illuminating primer with your foundation to give a soft focus radiance and avoiding that overall heavy coverage that has dominated the first half of the 2020's. I love Peaches and Cream Goddess illuminating primer. Radiant, dewy skin, paired with hair that feels effortless yet polished—whether it's a loose, boho wave or a sleek chignon—brides are choosing styles that reflect their personal style and the modern spirit of their wedding.

Some trending Wedding hair styles for 2025 include:
Soft, Natural Waves: Perfect for a beachy or outdoor wedding in Sunderland (we do have an impressive Sea front - think hair flowing in the sea side breeze)
Sleek, Polished Updos: Ideal for more formal or traditional weddings.
Romantic Braids: A whimsical option that pairs well with delicate makeup looks.
For Brides who are undecided or worried about how to wear their Hair for the Big Day, remember - anything is possible. In our trial we can discuss your options and your dream Wedding Hair vision. Short hair can be miraculously transformed into a stunning waved low bun. And fine long hair can be transformed into a tumble of shiny romantic waves all with the addition of undetectable hair pieces, suitable products and padding. Oh, and a good Bridal Hair Stylist, of course. Simone Whitehead Bridal Hair
What products do you use for the Best Wedding Hair and Makeup Look?
Our wedding hair and makeup kits are stocked with only the finest professional brands, carefully selected to deliver flawless results. We use renowned products like Makeup Forever, Dinair Airbrush, Makeup Atelier, Charlotte Tilbury, Moroccan Oil, Colour Wow, and many more. Each product is chosen for its high performance, ensuring your hair and makeup will look stunning and last all day. From smooth, radiant skin to perfect, long-lasting hairstyles, we’ve got everything we need to make sure you feel beautiful and confident on your big day.
When it comes to bridal beauty, combining makeup and hair is essential for achieving a cohesive look. For example, if you opt for a bold lip or dramatic eye makeup, a softer, more understated hairstyle might be the best choice. If you choose a more minimalist makeup look, you can enhance it with a statement hairstyle, such as a voluminous updo or intricate braids.
We’ll work with you to ensure that your complement each other perfectly, so you look and feel your best from the moment you say "I do" to the final dance at the reception.
"Brides trust us on their special day because of our dedication to perfection, attention to detail, and passion for making every bride feel radiant. With our professionalism and expertise, we ensure you look and feel your absolute best, allowing you to cherish every moment with confidence."
