Somerset hair and make-up artist Tracy Pallari gives us her top tips for a stress-free wedding morning

Tracy Pallari of Tracy Pallari Hair & Makeup Artist tells us how to make your wedding morning as easy as possible - even if you have a large bridal party...

With bride squads getting bigger all the time, it's unlikely that one make-up artist or stylist will be able to get you all ready without rushing – or starting at the crack of dawn! It's worth considering using a team of artists who are used to working together.

Here are my top tips for relaxed wedding prep…

- Always have a trial – not only to choose the look you want but also to build a relationship with your artist and discuss your requirements so there are no surprises on the morning.

- Allocate a quiet area with plenty of space and good lighting for your chosen professionals to work in.

- Give your phone to one of your bridesmaids and ask her to take any calls while you're getting ready.

- Book a professional for all of your party so there's continuity in your photos.

- Aim to be ready half an hour before you leave. This gives time for your photographer to capture some gorgeous shots of you all.

- Relax and enjoy having your nearest and dearest around you.
