About us

Lynne West

Hi – I’m Lynne West. I’m a professional hair stylist and the founder of Beautiful Brides. I trained and worked in London before moving to Hampshire and owning my own salon for many years where I established an excellent reputation for bridal and special occasion hair. I also taught hairdressing and makeup at Bournemouth College.

Because of this passion for bridal and special occasion hair, I formed Beautiful Brides and over the last 15 years have established a portfolio of hotels to operate from in the New Forest and Bournemouth area; including Carey’s Manor, New Park Manor and Westover Hall, who all recommend Beautiful Brides in their information packs.

Working with Lynne, we have a solid understanding of what a bride wants on her wedding day, not only to prepare her to look her most beautiful, but also to ensure she is completely happy and relaxed for her big day.
