A New Lovehair & Co HQ
For those of you that don’t know, Lovehair is my baby. It came from humble beginnings, with me sitting cross legged on my bed and a babe in my arms working until the small hours. I would literally travel all over the UK to meet brides and work with them on their wedding day. I look back now and wonder how I ever did it.
It has been a hard few years, but each year we have progressed, taken another leap forward ...

Do You Need A Wedding Band?
We have lot's of friends in the wedding business. Talented photographers, amazing florists and super organised wedding planners, all working hard to bring weddings to life. But none quite define a wedding reception like a good band. And The Ruby Tones are one band that I felt deserved a post, all to themselves.I should admit now that I'm totally biased. The Ruby Tones played at my brothers wedding, so it was going to be one of the best nights anyway. But ...

I spend a lot of time interviewing and choosing our stylists. It’s important to me that they are as passionate about their work as I am, this doesn’t just mean that they are great at styling hair, that just the start. Styling hair for brides is very different to hairdressing ins a salon, you need many different qualities to offer the best possible service.
Flexibility- sometimes you need to take control, other times you need to take a step back, you need to be patient ...
