Hepburn Collection – Heavenly Hairstyles For Beautiful Brides…

** Exclusive reader offer provided at the end of this feature **

I've been really excited about this feature.  For a good while now, I've been admiring the skill and creativity of the very talented Hair Stylists behind 'Hepburn
Collection
' – a leading hair design company for stylish Brides.  Ever since seeing their talents on the promotional shots for Julia Boggio's Vintage Boudoir photography service (some images of which are included in this feature), I've been hooked. Then there was the 'Punk Rock {n Roll} Bride' Photoshoot, and again, I was smitten by these adventurous and talented hair stylists ability to create a look that so superbly captured a certain style, mood and era.

Founded by Parisian hair
designer Severin Hubert and his partner Roz Edwards, Hepburn
Collection
provide full-service, bespoke styling with a touch of
creative French flair.   Since itʼs launch in 1996,  Hepburn
Collection
have worked with some of the industryʼs most reputable wedding
suppliers, providing exceptional service and style for high profile
clients both in the UK and internationally.

"I have extensive experience in hair design and provide full-service
styling packages for our brides and clients, creating beautiful hair
styles for weddings and special occasions.  In addition to bridal hair,
Hepburn Collection also offers cuts/colours and hair extensions to
ensure every aspect of your hair is perfect for your wedding day style.

I
am also involved artistically with commercial and fashion photo shoots,
styling the hair of models for many leading designers and bridal
suppliers. In addition to our hair design packages, we also offer a
bridal concierge service for brides."

"We've been involved in hundreds of
weddings and became aware that brides can often feel stressed during the
morning preparations as jewellery goes missing, bridesmaid gowns are
creased, sashes are difficult to tie and so Roz set up the concierge to
minimise stress and let the bride enjoy being pampered. Roz's favourite
task is serving the Champagne to the bridal party!"

I absolutely adore the Autumnal shots above and below, taken by the delightful London based wedding Photographer, Nikole Ramsay {a Love My Dress favourite – you can see more of Nikole's work on the Love My Dress wedding blog here}…

I was lucky enough to interview Severin Hubert for Love My Dress – here is some of the wise advice he shared with me, which include his personal top tips for that perfect wedding day hair 🙂

What is the inspiration behind the name, 'Hepburn Collection'? "Roz actually thought of the name. We wanted something that was chic, had style, elegance, glamour and beauty to epitomise the bridal looks that we create. We thought of the women who represented all of these things and it wasn't difficult to choose – Audrey Hepburn. She had that "je ne sais quoi" about her and thus the name was born!"

Do you travel nationwide?"We
are completely flexible and travel throughout the UK and
internationally. Many of our weddings are overseas and we are very
fortunate that we get to be part of such a special occasion, wherever
that may be."

What or who inspires you when it comes to your own hair designs?"I'm from Paris and truly ‘French’ in terms of culture, values and inspiration. My heroes are Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy and, of course, Audrey Hepburn."

What drew you to hair design in the first place? "I have always been fascinated with fashion and hair so it was an easy choice for me. I also love to create beautiful styles that transform women and make them feel truly special on their day. I absolutely love my job and have never looked back!"

What do you love most about working with Brides? "In
the lead-up to the wedding we really get to know our brides and offer a
huge amount of support with creating their ideal look. The special bond
you create with a bride and the trust they have in you is like no other
client. For me it's the beginning of a fairytale but with hair!"

What is the best piece of advice you can give to a Bride unsure of what wedding-day hair style to go for? "We always suggest for our brides to look through the magazines and online for ideas and start to create a story board. But they have to be realistic, what looks good on someone else doesn't mean it will look good on them. A good hairdresser will be able to advise and adapt a style to suit you. And of course make sure you book that all important trial where we spend several hours perfecting the look. Once the trial is complete, we create a personalised online moodboard with images from the trial and the dress sample/accessories as a reference for brides."

What are your top tips for that perfect wedding-day hair? …"Why go to a leading hairstylist when the leading stylist can come to you?!  Also, treat yourself to a hair conditioning treatment in the lead up to the wedding to ensure super glossy, healthy hair!"

Is there anything a Bride should definitely NOT do when it comes to preparing and styling her wedding day hair? "Please do not get a hair cut just before the big day as your hair needs time to settle and usually also needs the length to be styled. We always consult our brides on the Do's and Dont's to ensure there are no slip-ups!"

Can you provide a price guide? "Our packages are bespoke depending on the size of the bridal party, location and so on but prices start from £150 for wedding day styling for the bride."

If you weren't a hair stylist, what would you be? "A
Tailor – my grandfather was a tailor and as a child I use to love
sitting in his shop watching him. It actually comes in handy now,
especially as my wife can't even sew a button…or maybe that's what she
wants me to think!"

When I was planning my wedding, I knew I wanted a very specific look –
something evocative of the 1930's – all finger curls and hair pins.  I consider myself exceptionally
lucky that I found myself a local hair stylist that was able to pull
this look off {many can't and are inexperienced in working the finger curl look of the 1920s and '30's} but it took a while!  Most of the styling services I
looked into had relatively bland portfolios (the usual weddingy 'up
do's') that didn't impress me.  Had I known about Hepburn
Collection

at the time, I'd have jumped at the chance to book them for my wedding!
