Bridal Hair Design by Lorraine Newark

We were due to be married in September last year and we booked Lorraine following recommendation, but due to a family accident we had to reschedule and try and snap her up again, which we were fortunate to do.
From the first phone call, rescheduling, Trials and the big day itself, she went above and beyond and made me feel very at ease. I knew I had to keep Lorraine for the new date, as I could not have imagined anyone making my hair look more beautiful.
I initially looked at her style online and fell in love with the Hair styles she offered, I hadn't seen anything like them and she was incredibly accommodating about any ideas or images you had for yourself or Bridal team.
At my trial we discussed what we required for the big day and did she deliver wow! The trial, was very easy, calm and Lorraine is so friendly and fun, it flew by and I got more than I had imagined, she even made me cry when I saw it in the mirror.
Lorraine also designs and makes hair flowers and decoration to meet all your desires. So so beautiful and she has some to try at your hair trial, so you can have lots of fun playing.
Lorraine is very easy to communicate with and as I had a large Bridal Team, I had my sister as a Second hairstylist, Lorraine was wonderful with Amanda and so supportive the whole morning.
My original recommendation came from Juliet Cunnington who I had booked for my Make up and I am so thankful for that. They work so well as a team and made our morning such fun and flow so easily. Lorraine was such a support alongside her magnificent work, she was really helpful, kind, patient and attentive.
I can not recommend Lorraine enough, as a person, professional, artist and her talent in this field. You made my day the best and me feel a million dollars. I have the finest hair and you made me feel like a movie star with all the volume and beauty you put into my hair was worthy of any star on the red carpet.
The compliments are still coming in about you and the art you created for me.
I work in Musical Theatre and the head of wigs and the whole department were at the wedding and they could not stop complimenting my hair, still to this day. What you all do is true art!
Thank you doesn't seem enough, you made our journey at a time of decisions and stress very easy and I always felt you had me by the hand the whole way through. You were as much a part of our wedding as my Friends, and I value you as a friend.
Book Lorraine she will make you smile from ear to ear and feel incredibly special ♥️♥️♥️

Lorraine single-handedly did my hair, as well as my mum’s and my five bridesmaids on my wedding day and, I have to say, we all looked fantastic!

We all had completely different hair types and completely different requests for hair styles, which Lorraine expertly handled and everyone felt and looked beautiful.

She completely understood my ‘whimsical woodland’ vision and created a stunning half-up half-down look with a braid that had her own hand-made flower decorations weaved into it. The number of guests who came up to my unprompted to tell me that I looked like a woodland fairy left me feeling ecstatic! We all had so many compliments on our hair and that’s all thanks to Lorraine. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Lorraine was brilliant from the start of my wedding journey to the wedding day itself.
She did hair for the bride, 2 bridesmaids, Mother of the bride and Mother of the groom on the morning of the wedding at The Oxford Belfry Hotel.
Nothing was too much trouble for her and she put everyone at ease. Everyone commented on how amazing our hair looked.
Thank you so much for making us all feel amazing ❤️

Lorraine did the hair for me and my three bridesmaids on the morning of the wedding in December 2025 at South Farm. She was a lovely person to have there while we were getting ready and helped keep the atmosphere calm, relaxed and fun.

My bridesmaids all had matching updos, while I went for a half-up, half-down style, and everything looked beautiful and really well put together. Lorraine also made the hair pins I wore, which were a very special touch and finished the style perfectly.

She worked efficiently and kept everything running smoothly, and I was really happy with how all of our hair turned out. I’m very glad she was part of the morning and helped make getting ready feel so enjoyable.

A huge thank you to Lorraine for doing mine and my bridesmaids hair for the wedding! We absolutely loved how everything turned out, and her recommendations for my extensions made such a difference. My hair looked perfect all day and even held up beautifully in the wind during our photos. Her communication in the lead up to the wedding was exceptional. So talented, professional, and lovely – highly recommend!

Lorraine was recommended to me by my bridal make up artist, and I will absolutely be recommending her to anyone and everyone looking for a bridal hair stylist. At my hair trial, she took the time to understand my hair, the vision I had for not only my hairstyle but my whole wedding and created the most beautiful style which suited perfectly. On my wedding day, Lorraine was relaxed, calm and incredibly professional. She took her time to work her magic with each bridesmaid, and mother of the bride, but never once running behind schedule. She recreated my beautiful low updo which stayed in perfectly all day and all night. I felt completely in safe hands with Lorraine, she worked seamlessly with my other suppliers. She is absolutely a pro at weddings, even down to making sure my hair was perfect after getting into my dress and fitting my veil for me. Thank you for making me look and feel so amazing on my wedding day x

Lorraine was incredible from the very start of my bridal journey, she restored my faith in bridal hair after a few disaster trials and gave genuine advice on the best styles for my hair. On the day she was the biggest hype woman, nothing was too much, created absolutely stunning hair styles and helps me get into my dress and captured photographs for us. Cannot thank her enough or recommend her anymore!

Lorraine was fantastic from start to finish! I had my wedding hair trial back in March and got to try two different hair styles for my December wedding (both beautiful!) On the wedding day I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Myself and my bridesmaids hair looked amazing and lasted so well all day. I made some tweaks from my hair trial style (to get a combination of the 2 styles) which was so easy with Lorraine and she met the brief 100000%! To add to this she is super friendly and easy to chat to which is what you want on your wedding morning 🤍 If you’re planning your wedding, book Lorraine you will not regret it!

Thank you so much, Lorraine, for making us all feel so special on my wedding day! From the trial to the day itself, you made everything perfect. Each of my bridesmaids, myself and my mum had different styles and each of them looked brilliant. They held amazingly till the end of the day - even with lots of dancing in the evening. We all felt so special. You're the perfect presence on the wedding morning! You made it so fun! Thank you so very much!

I had the most wonderful experience with Lorraine as my wedding hair stylist! Her work is simply incredible, and she made me and my bridal party look absolutely stunning. From the moment we met for my hair trial, I knew I was in safe hands. Lorraine is so friendly, and her calm, reassuring presence made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

On the day of the wedding, Lorraine was a true professional, effortlessly styling 9 ladies with precision and creativity. She worked her magic on each of us, ensuring we all had the perfect look. Lorraine’s attention to detail was amazing, and every hairstyle stayed flawless throughout the day and night.

I can’t recommend Lorraine enough! Not only is she a talented stylist, but she’s also such a lovely person to have with you on your special day. Thank you, Lorraine, for making us all feel beautiful and confident!

Lorraine did my hair (plus Bride, 3 Bridesmaids and MOG) on Friday for my Daughters wedding.
Her work is exceptional as she listens to the brief and delivers exactly what was asked for!
My brief to her was a sleek low bun to compliment my huge hat and to make me feel a million dollars!
She did exactly what I asked and added a few pearls in to show it off! I was delighted with it.
Lorraine was fun on the day and kept to time with precision. Everyone in our bridal party loved their hair.
I have no hesitation in recommending Lorraine to anyone who wants to look and feel amazing on their wedding day!

Thank you Lorraine for the wonderful hair styling on my wedding day for myself and the bridal party. Lorraine made bespoke hair pieces to match my veil and listened to my ideas to make them come to life. I really recommend 😊 the hair also stayed in place the whole day and night and was exactly the elegant style I wanted.

Lorraine did the wedding hair for me, two adult bridesmaids, two teens and the mothers of the bride and the groom. We had the most fabulous morning and everyone felt amazing. My hair can be tricky but it was just perfect and didn’t budge, even after a night of dancing. I also really loved the bespoke pieces she made for mine and my sister’s hair. Lorraine really is amazing at what she does and her personality adds to the wedding morning vibe. I cannot recommend her enough or thank her for how beautiful I felt on my wedding day xx

Lorraine was so lovely and really put me at ease on the morning of my wedding. I absolutely LOVED my wedding hair. - I opted for a half up half down style with a pretty knot at the centre. She did a fantastic job with all of the bridesmaids hair as well and worked quickly so that we had time to take “getting ready” pictures before the main event! Our hair stayed curled and in place all day! I would highly recommend this talented lady x

Lorraine is amazing! She is so skilled at what she does and has such brilliant experience!
Lorraine worked on myself and my 4 bridesmaids and we all looked stunning. Our hair looked just as good from the moment we walked down the aisle to the end of the night. Lorraine listened to what we wanted to achieve and asked questions to make sure we were all happy with our final looks.
Not a only did Lorraine make us look so beautiful she’s also meticulous with timing and made sure the whole morning was stress free and ran on time.
Thank you so much Lorraine, I will forever be grateful for all of your support xxx
