Bridal Hairstyle

During a trial session, Ellen is happy to take plenty of time to explore your style and wishes in depth, so that, together with you, she can create the hairstyle that will allow you to shine with confidence all day long. She’s happy to pull out all the stops to ensure you look fantastic on your big day.

All the details of your trial session are carefully recorded, along with your schedule, so you can start your wedding day stress-free. Whether you prefer a very natural style or like that little bit extra, she’ll create the bridal hairstyle that suits you perfectly.

Your wedding day

To ensure you start your wedding day feeling relaxed, Ellen will come to your chosen location and work according to the agreed schedule, so that you and your bridal party are ready in good time to begin your day. Putting you at ease with her cheerful nature is one of her greatest strengths as a bridal stylist. Once Ellen has created your bridal hairstyle and look, she’ll help you get into your dress and put on your accessories if needed. Ellen won’t leave until you, the bride, are completely ready.

Ellen can also do the bridesmaids’ make-up. Nothing’s more fun than starting the morning with your girl squad and enjoying a relaxed moment together. Ellen will bring along one or more colleagues for this, if necessary. Your bridesmaids can also opt for a trial session if they wish.

Teamwork makes the dream work

As well as Ellen, Gleam consists of a professional and passionate team of make-up artists and hairstylists to make your wedding day unforgettable. At Gleam, they place great importance on quality and professionalism.
