Did you manage to catch up on the wedding blog nuptials of this past weekend? If not, you can do so here and here. I simply chomping on the bit to share these gorgeous inspirational images with you today that I received last week; Hepburn Collection, a leading wedding hair design company, who has previously contributed to Love My Dress, has showcased the upcoming trends in bridal hair and beauty for 2012 via a cutting-edge photoshoot. Bringing together a handpicked collection of the UK’s most talented hair and beauty artists, the ‘Be Beautiful’ photoshoot aims to inspire fashion conscious brides to discover their inner beauty and individual style.
The photoshoot showcases three key bridal looks for 2012 and highlights different ways for brides to work the trends for a beautiful wedding day look; ‘Be Bold’, ‘Be Classic’ and ‘Be Chic’.

Inspired by the 70s, the Be Bold collection features big hair and strong make-up. Ideal for a bride looking to create a casual wedding day look with a bohemian twist. Following the Royal Wedding, the Be Classic collection reflects the timeless trend for a traditional and elegant wedding day look with soft, loose hair and pretty make-up. Sleek and sophisticated, the Be Chic collection reflects a contemporary look for the modern bride. Hair is structured and complemented with vibrant make-up incorporating this season’s trend for colour.
Enjoy people, this photoshoot is one beauty…
Be Chic
Commenting on the photoshoot, Hepburn Collection’s founder Severin Hubert said…
“A bride’s wedding day look is one of the most important parts of the occasion. Professionally styled hair and make-up that complements the gown and accessories is essential for a look that reflects both the day itself and the bride’s personality.”
“Through this shoot, we hope to inspire brides to embrace their individual beauty and create a bridal style that’s both timeless and unforgettable…”
