2015 was a jam-packed year for me, my make-up brushes got plenty of use beautifying lots of brides, bridesmaids, mums and clients over the last 12 months. I would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you, I always feel so honoured to be a small part of your big day and have loved getting to know you all. I really do owe so much to the support and love from my brides and industry friends. I'm already looking forward to meeting all of my 2016 brides, it's your turn!

I've been overwhelmed, as always, by the lovely cards and thank-you e-mails from my bridal clients, they consistently motivate me to strive for perfection in the service I offer. Some of their lovely words have been left for me on FreeIndex, several of them saying how confident they were on their big day and how they felt at their most beautiful. This is always my goal for every single client. I'm grateful to be able to share these stunning images from some of them, it's always a pleasure for me to look back and see what goes on when I leave a bride to walk down the aisle! (Many thanks to the photographer's for these wonderful shots, credits linked to each image).

The start of 2016 has given me the opportunity for a small wedding-break to catch up on all the joys of running a business with admin duties, accounting, marketing, and website maintenance. I've also been planning for the year ahead, focusing on redesigning my make-up lessons and private masterclasses to offer more options and comprehensive sessions. Take a look at my services page for more information on the lessons I offer, I love teaching the tips and tricks of the trade to you all and the results of these have been so rewarding!

I am constantly learning as a make-up artist too! Keeping up-to-date with current trends, techniques and products is essential for me to be able to pass this knowledge on to you, whether through a make-up lesson or designing a bespoke bridal look. I'm booking onto more professional training masterclasses's this year which I'm very excited about!

The demand for dates has been a little crazy lately and I'm even booking up in advance for 2017 so it's never too early to enquire about my availability for your big day. Please follow me on  Facebook and Instagram for plenty of behind-the-scenes images and updates and I shall be back with a new blog post very soon. Thanks for reading and I wish you all the very best for 2016!

There has been a serious lack of blog posts lately as I've been happily snowed-under with my busiest summer yet! Since my last post I have been working flat out with wedding's, bridal trials, make-up lessons and booking up my 2016/17 diary with some very organised clients. Over the summer I have enjoyed spending time with some truly wonderful brides on their wedding mornings, here are just a few of them in all their bridal glory!

 

In other news, I've recently revised my Terms & Conditions for all bridal client's which should simplify and clarify my booking policy. The Bridal Welcome Pack that all bride's receive upon booking has also been updated with plenty of beauty-prep information and advice on how to prepare for your make-up trial with me! I've had some wonderful feedback from this recently and I hope it helps to provide a complete service to you all.

As always, I'd like to thank each and every bride who has taken the time to send me a thank-you card or write me a testimonial recently. I am always humbled by every word and they make my job even more worthwhile! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful summer and are looking forward to a colourful Autumn full of cosy evenings in.

Summer has officially begun! June kick-started the season with a flurry of beautiful brides, bridesmaid's and mother of the bride's. From a 'no make-up' make-up for Alison in Bicester, to a glamorous smokey eye for Kirsty after her Las Vegas Wedding, with a myriad of beautiful looks in between.  My wedding's have had me flying across Warwickshire and Worcestershire visiting plenty of stunning venues this month including Shustoke Barns, Ashton Lodge, Warwick House and even The RSC Theatre! I've also been lucky enough to receive some beautiful cards and chocolates from some very thoughtful brides, so thank you!
