Valentina Spuntarelli Hair Stylist: Our featured wedding service provider this week!

Last week we mentioned how important make-up art (and the choice of make-up artist!) is, to a bride, to make sure she looks perfect on the big day. We are sure you're wondering, what about hair? Should you wear your hair up or down? What kind of accessories fir your dress? Is the hair color you wear now, fitting?

A bride's hair must look perfect through the entire ceremony, and must be done in a way that lasts all the after dinner party...with all that dancing! It must perfectly combine with the dress and jewerly, be the right match to the makeup, and look great in pictures and video! And of course the bride, and everyone else too, must love it.

And with all those requirements, you simply need your hair done by the best professional available. Our wedding planner Daniela Castellarin has carefully handpicked all the wedding service providers in her network, and her most trusted hair stylist is responsible for styling over a hundred brides every year. Her name is Valentina Spuntarelli, an amazingly talented hair professional who also provides her services for TV and film productions and has worked for RAI (Italian Television) and Mediaset, among other important mass media companies and broadcasters.

Out of her extensive experience, and because she knows well how difficult it is for a bride to decide how to do her hair, Valentina will suggest for you the most fitting bridal hairstyle. And to do so, she will carefully study your facial features, chat with you about your personal likes, and consider the type of venue and ceremony that will take place. She may also be booked for a trial run before the wedding day.

Valentina is available for weddings in Rome, all of Italy, and England.

Please visit her profile on our website, Valentina Spuntarelli on Italy Italian Weddings to see more pictures, or request more information to our wedding planner, Daniela Castellarin!
