Claire’s dreadlocks were coloured blonde and styled by her hairdresser Sharon from Adornment in Brixton, London. Claire added a fresh Avalanche rose at the side of her hair provided by her florist, and pearl and diamante hair pins bought by her mother completed the style.
She had intended to do her own make-up on the day and then decided this was one more stress she would rather do without, and at the very last minute hired a professional make-up artist she found on the internet, Sue Carter from Image in Ipswich. Claire had just one trial session the day before the wedding and was delighted with the result.
