Northwood spoke about creating Megan’s iconic messy bun look “Often with brides – and this was no different – the daytime bit is a bit more nerve-wracking, and then the evening comes and it’s more about wanting to have fun. That’s what my hair is about: it’s wearable, effortless and can withstand a dancefloor.”
