Inspired by Grace is the bridal hair and make-up business of Grace, an Irish artist who has been based in Milan for nine years and works across northern Italy.

Grace's aim is a look you recognise as yourself, which means plenty of listening at the trial stage. She's easy company on a wedding morning and picks up whatever else needs doing while she's there. Alongside hair and make-up, Grace offers mobile spray tanning and is a certified Sculptural Face Lifting practitioner and some brides opt for a facial massage treatment in the preparation.

We love her for English-speaking brides marrying in Lombardy, Piedmont or around the Lakes who want a natural, skin-first look and calm company while everyone's getting ready.

Good to know: Grace covers the bridal party as well as the bride, and travels right across northern Italy.
