Lovely bride Catherine from 2016, was married at Stoke Place, Buckinghamshire had her wedding featured in The Love My Dress blog. Catherine’s uncle is the famous hat designer Philip Treacy, he was proud to be able to design a one off headdress for his lovely niece. Not even Catherine had any idea as to how this headpiece was going to look, what the style would be or whether it would work with her dress/theme etc. Uncle Treacy had it all under control and under wraps until the big day!
When Catherine had her trial with me, she had a messy, boho inspired updo in mind with braids and twists, the messier the better! It wasn’t until the night before the wedding that Catherine messaged to warn me that we will have to change the style completely. There was some pressure yes, but nothing I can’t cope with. In the end, the hairstyle had to be pinned around the headpiece without a pin in sight.
The result was amazing. Catherine rocked the old Hollywood Glam look.
I have just finished beautifying the gorgeous bride Carina and her maids at The Milling Barn in Throcking – Nr Baldock. Carina chose a curly side updo, a little volume on the crown and pretty flowers to finish the style perfectly.
Carina also chose a summery flawless makeup, individual lashes and a golden glow looked absolutely beautiful and will compliment her Blush coloured wedding gown.

Here are a few pictures from a recent wedding at Ashridge House in Berkhamstead. The wedding of the lovely bride Michelle, her 6 bridesmaids, mum and aunt so a total of 9 hair and makeup’s completed in 4 hours. They all looked absolutely amazing in and no doubt had a wonderful day.
Michelle chose a smokey charcoal and silver eye, defined with lots of liner and lashes, she also wanted an elegant yet modern hairstyle that represented her fun and lighthearted personality as well as complimented her dress and the gorgeous setting.
The bridesmaids were all in a deep burgundy dress which was perfect for a Winter wedding, the rich colour commanded a strong defined socket line (eye) so we chose a gorgeous sparkly berry shade by Morphe cosmetics and a glamorous set of lash extensions to finish the look. The hair was in a side bun and adorned with a sparkly crystal and silver hair comb.
Here what the bride had to say after the wedding

Let’s face it, as we get older we can no longer get away with the things we once did for example drinking on a school night, skipping on sun cream and essential skincare and for most women like me, getting away with wearing zero makeup.
But what are you supposed to do when you’ve got kiddies to look after, a household to keep in shape and a busy work schedule to juggle, finding time to yourself is impossible. Well I’ve put together a quick 2 Min No-makeup Makeup routine especially designed for busy-mums or those who can spare very little time on their makeup in the mornings.
Step 1 – dab a little concealer under the eyes (or where needed)
Step 2 – a large kabuki brush apply a thin layer of mineral foundation (or liquid)
Step 3 – using an angled brush apply black/brown shadow to fill brows
Step 4 – using same brush apply a little of the shadow close to the lash line (or pencil)
Step 5 – apply a little mascara
Step 6 – Dust blush or bronzer on the face (concentrating on cheeks)
Step 7 – apply lipstick or gloss of your choice
Quick and easy, you’ll feel awake and ready to face the world!
