CESCA is a boutique hair and make-up team working on weddings in the UK and Italy, founded by Carla.

Her starting point was a gap she kept noticing: a hard line between fashion make-up and bridal make-up, and saw no particular reason brides shouldn't have a touch of the runway on their day. Every artist and stylist on the team is hand-picked for creative skill, and each has a background in high-end fashion, celebrity or TV work. The service is deliberately boutique, with real attention to the brief and honest suggestions about how to push a look further.

We love them for brides who want something more fashion-led than traditional bridal styling, and a team who'll actually have a view.

Good to know: CESCA covers hair, make-up or both, and works in the UK as well as Italy, which makes trials easier.
