Supplier of the Month: Creative Bridal Hair

This week we are chatting to the lovely Hannah from Creative Bridal Hair as our Supplier of the month for August. As a fellow Tenterden wedding supplier it is always lovely when we get to work with Hannah and especially when we have a joint bride. We asked her a few questions about what her wedding business has to offer because who better to tell you why you need them on your list of suppliers? 

Tell us about you and your business.

Hi I’m Hannah, I am a hairdresser and specialise in wedding hair based in Tenterden, Kent but cover Kent and Sussex. I have been a hairdresser from a young age and have been creating bridal styles for the last 20 years. 

What made you decide to start Creative Bridal Hair?

I started Creative Bridal Hair in 2020 (lockdown) as I was unable to work.  I created an Instagram page with lots of up styles I was creating at home on a stylist head and really enjoyed it. I specialise in all areas of hairdressing and discovered I really enjoyed styling/hair up and thought why not take this further. I have done many wedding over the past 20 years but never promoted this side of my business and that’s how it started really. 

Another amazing wedding business born out of lockdown! Love it!! What’s been your favourite wedding so far and why?

I have been to some amazing venues, but I do love to work at the venue where I got married myself, The Little Sliver Hotel, in Tenterden. As it is such a lovely place and reminds me of my special day 10 years ago. 

Such a lovely local venue. So tell us what services do you offer? 

I offer the perfect bridal hair from a bouncy blow dry, to a relaxed up style or chic sleek up do. For everyone in your Bridal party.

And we speak from experience when we say Hannah does some beautiful bridal hair. I (Hannah) loved the soft curl ponytail she done for our content day. What can couples expect from you as apart of their wedding?

Great hair that lasts the day. I'm a happy, friendly stylist, I'm a very efficient timekeeper. I have been known to help the odd bride in her dress and rock the baby to sleep between styling. 

Sound like the perfect pair of extra hands to have on your wedding morning. To finish what is the one piece of advice you would give our brides when it comes to bridal hair and of course how can they find you?

So my advice is; It's your special day, do what makes you feel beautiful, happy and comfortable. This can be the simplest updo to something a bit more elaborate and elegant, whatever makes you feel your best.
