Ask our Expert – Tina Elliott

Newcastle Wedding Hair Stylist Tina, has over 15 years’ experience as a bridal hair specialist and working as a stylist on photoshoots to help create stunning editorial imagery. Her work can be regularly seen gracing the front covers and inside pages of various lux wedding editorials and the UK’s most exclusive wedding blogs.

Tina is a recommended supplier for many of the Region’s finest wedding venues. Her sought after style takes her all over Northumberland and the North East, where she prides herself on ensuring her brides feel unique to themselves and look amazing throughout the whole wedding day and night.

Tips on Hair Prep for your Wedding Day

I often say to clients, “your hair is a beautiful accessory you get to wear every day, so you should treat it the way you would an expensive silk shirt, carefully and gently! “

It’s your crowning glory after all. Some shampoo can weigh your hair down with nasty build up, so in the lead up to your wedding I usually recommend using a high-quality hair care range. My personal favourite is Phillip Kingsley. You can get a travel sized starter pack with shampoo, conditioner and their well-loved elasticizer treatment which is a great size to take on honeymoon too! Christopher Robin’s Prickly Pear Mask is another favourite and is super hydrating for stressed locks.

I recommend to get regular trims with a stylist you trust , 8-10 weeks apart to grow healthy hair and have your colour touched up 1-2 weeks before your big day to allow your hair to settle. Don’t do anything radical before your big day in case you regret it later, but a few fine highlights can bring gorgeous extra dimension to some of the more textured styles currently on trend.

Your Hair Trial

At your trial I will ask you to bring images of your dress and any hair styles you like, even if you think your hair won’t achieve it. My brides are often surprised at what can be achieved with professional styling. I can also advise if your style will need clip-in extensions for your chosen look when we sit together at your trial and I can help you select accessories, if you’re feeling a bit daunted by the choice. I offer pre-trial hair prep by email and pre-wedding day hair prep advice at the trial to get the most out of your hair on both days.

Wedding Day

When I arrive at your venue, I like to make sure you have the most relaxing time prior to your ceremony, keeping a calm and fun atmosphere can really help with pre wedding nerves. I particularly love working at Ellingham Hall as you have a beautiful dressing room situated within Lady B’s Wedding Suite with amazing natural light for hair and makeup. It’s also a great space where you can retreat to for some quiet time but are close enough to the main wedding suite to be with all your party and the buzzy excitement.

I’m going to share four popular bridal looks for upcoming brides to consider for their big day:

Glamorous Waves

Beautiful Alexia wanted glamorous waves with a chunky braid in her own hair. She wanted her bridesmaids to compliment her style but not to overshadow.

We chose softly textured updo’s with side braids for the bridesmaids, which complemented Alexia’s look perfectly.

Ultra Modern

Gorgeous Sarah decided to keep her natural hair colour and wanted a hairstyle to work with her natural highlights. She gravitated towards an ultra-modern, low textured bun, with lots of interesting texture throughout.

Her bridesmaids had a simpler version to compliment the stunning bridal look.

I always believe the bride’s hair should outshine everyone else’s on her big day!

Timeless Classic

Lovely Emma chose a look of elegance and classic simplicity. She wanted a timeless modern hairstyle to reflect her own no fuss taste.

Clean and polished, a classic chignon will never date, but can always be reinterpreted to suit current trends.

For Emma I kept the look beautifully low key with intentional softness and naturally falling tendrils.

Relaxed Boho

Pretty Emmy wanted a more relaxed boho look for her mid-summer wedding.

Her own individual quirky style lent itself to a very soft undone arrangement with a braid as centre stage and soft textured tendrils framing the finished look.

“Nick and I just wanted to say the most enormous thank you for making our day so special. The whole thing felt completely effortless whilst being executed perfectly. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived, with a massive thanks to Beth, Debbie, David and Jeff who were all completely faultless. Their attention to detail and acknowledgment of things important to us was exceptional. Debbie, thank you so much for making me feel at ease when I was so nervous!

We are especially grateful that you went above and beyond to decorate our tables perfectly at short notice and adapted last minute table plans. Nothing felt like too much effort, we really can’t thank you all enough for helping to make our day so special.“

“We’ve had so many compliments from family about our wedding. Some of our guests hadn’t heard of Ellingham Hall before our weekend wedding. I think some guests were wondering why they were at a wedding the night before, as a lot of weddings are only one day. But everyone just absolutely loved it. The team at Ellingham were great. Matt received a lot of compliments on the Friday night. Lots of family said how great he was. In fact, there were loads of compliments about the entire team, they all did a fab job. And everyone complimented us on the food. My friend, Joanne, said it was the best wedding food she had ever tasted. We had just under 100 guests during the day of the wedding and that’s a lot of people to serve, especially with the choices. But it was all brilliant.”

“Thank you all so much for everything you did to help with our Annual Forum and Celebration Concert on Thursday. As usual, I was a bag of nerves for much of the day, but the calm efficiency of Connor and his team helped to get me through. I will definitely recommend Ellingham Hall as a corporate venue. Surprisingly, a lot of the attendees were unaware of the Hall and what you’re able to offer. The fact that we could move from one room to another and have two very different events at the same venue was a big draw for us. “

Catherine Gray, Funding and Communications Officer – Northumberland AONB Partnership
“I booked a lunch party at Ellingham Hall for a very discerning group comprising of generous supporters of a local charity. We were 27 people and we enjoyed a Champagne reception before a delicious three course lunch. Wendy and her team could not do enough for us, our every request was granted. Dietary requirements were very efficiently and creatively dealt with and the result was a most enjoyable event at a price I was very satisfied with. I would definitely use Ellingham Hall again for a function like this.”

We can’t believe that it has been a month since you helped us tie the knot! We just wanted to o send huge hugs and a MASSIVE thank you to David, Debbie, Wendy, Alicia and the entire team at Ellingham for the most unforgettable wedding (Lauren’s mam is still crying!)

We have spoken every day since with each other and our friends and family about how we couldn’t have wished for a better couple of days and although Ellingham is a magical venue, that is truly because of you guys. Everything from the food, to the service, to the running of the day itself was an absolute dream and totally exceeded anything we could have hoped for. No request was too much and every single member of staff is an absolute credit to your team – it really is no wonder you guys are THE BEST Wedding and Events Team in the North East (Congratulations by the way! – thoroughly deserved!).

A massive thank you again to each and every one of you for making our wedding so magical, we can’t wait to come back up and see you all again!

Lauren & Chris Phillips, 26th October 2023
“The venue exceeded our expectations. Not only did it offer uniqueness, but exclusivity was a key factor in booking. The main Hall offered lots of space for us to work and we found the delegate rates very competitive. The venue comes highly recommended. “
