An update from me.
My business is taking a pause for 2025 and 2026.
This is not a 'Goodbye' but for personal reasons, I have decided to take a break.
I wanted to thank all of my lovely Brides and all you lovely people for your support over the last 10 years.
To my Brides that have already booked with me for this year, your bookings are secure and I very much look forward to meeting you all! This is just for future bookings.
Big love to you all and I wish all Wedding Suppliers a wonderful season and huge congratulations to those getting married!

Next up, these beauties at Clock Barn last weekend! Absolutely love the turquoise dresses and burn orange flowers, perfect for the summer to autumn turn. The happiest of days, congrats Rachael & Dean on pulling off a belter! ❤️
Here's a glimpse from my phone on Saturday in Lyndhurst; I’m excited to see the professional photos!

This beautiful babe got married last year. I was very lucky to be able to do her makeup again yesterday (as well as her gorgeous Mam), when she was a bridesmaid for her sister in law Deb.
I am so grateful that the majority of my work is referral based, and I adore it when I get to see previous Brides again.
Olivia and her mam are such special ladies. Feeling so grateful ❤️

Throwback to almost 3 years ago!
Look at this beauty. The very beautiful Tara. I am sure I am not alone in adoring the moment you hand your Bride the mirror, when you have finished their bridal look.
Tara you were a dream to makeup and an absolutely stunning bride.

Connecting with suppliers for your Wedding is such a huge part of what we do. Especially on the morning of your Wedding Day, as we spend so much time with Brides and their families.
I struck gold with these lovely ladies. We clicked instantly when we met at Ellie's trial, and laughed so much. Her mam is a fellow Geordie and we never stopped talking.
I am so lucky with my Brides and the connections we have made over the years. Many I have seen several times since their wedding day. Either to do their makeup again or meet up for a brew!
Let's spread happiness ❤️

So much love for these two ❤️
Steph is a dear friend of mine who I met at a baby group when our little ones were not even 1 years old. We just clicked straight away and became close friends. And our husbands lived in the same street growing up - small world!
Although due to kids/work/weddings I do not get to see them as much as I would like, when we do catch up, it is just like yesterday. A true friendship which I cherish.

Meg got married last summer and what a beautiful bride she was.
I met Meg when I did her sister Taylor's wedding over 5 years ago. I felt an instant connection to their lovely family that day. And since then, they have booked me for makeup lessons, event makeup and then the honour of doing Meg's makeup for her special day.
Their lovely family have been huge supporters and I am forever grateful.
I am so lucky that I get to meet some truly amazing, inspiring people doing my job.
Much love to you Meg and all the Thornton family ❤️

Finally meeting the Queen of makeup @charlottetilbury
I remember so well my first ever Charlotte Tilbury products I ever got. I believe around 9 years ago, my mam took me to Fenwicks Bond Street as a special treat and bought me Pillow Talk lip liner and Very Victoria Lipstick (as it was my name and I loved VB). A lipstick I still wear most days.
From there on, my love for the brand grew, and I have been using many of her products in my kit for as long as I have been an artist. They are kit staples.
And for the last year, I have been working as an artist at Charlotte Tilbury and getting to meet her was a real wow moment for me.
She was as lovely, warm, engaging and enthusiastic as I had hoped.
I have had lots of enquiries and bookings in the last few weeks which means I have limited availability for my 2023 remaining dates, and 2024 Weddings.
Please note that if you have made an enquiry, your booking is not secure until a booking fee has been paid.
Much love ❤️
