Laura M Martin is passionate about feeling her best, from delicious food to a bold hairstyle. She has worked as a hairstylist and colorist in New York and Chicago for over a decade. She currently works freelance as a stylist, writer, and recipe developer.

Tessa is a New York-based writer and editor. When she’s not fawning over Anne Brontë, she’s reading, writing, and maybe petting a few cats. Her interests include feminism, veganism, 19th-century literature, music, and wrestling, all of which find their way into her writing at some point. Her senior thesis, “No Generous Mind Delights to Onderpress the Weak: Anne Brontë as a 19th-Century Progressive,” earned her a summer research fellowship, giving her the opportunity to do practice-based literary research in New York City.

Olga is a professional wedding hairstylist based in the UK. She specialises in modern, effortless, relaxed looks that emphasise her client’s best features. Olga’s styles have been featured in print magazines such as Salonfocus and Weddings & Hiddens. The stylist shares her knowledge and love of hair by training and mentoring other hairdressers.

The commotion before the wedding affects not only the future newlyweds, but also their parents and even some guests. The mother of the bride is one of the key figures during the event, and choosing a flattering hairstyle that matches the dress is a perfect place to start.
