Bridal Hair and Make Up at Port Lympne, Kent

Bridal Hair and Make Up at Port Lympne, Kent

Thursday Throwback – Christina’s gorgeous wedding day took place at the beautiful Port Lympne Mansion House   in Kent .

The venue itself is breathtaking, from the murals on the walls to the stunning acres of park that surrounds the hotel.  It’s certainly not every venue that can offer your guests the chance to spend their drinks reception on safari! 

Christina went for a stunning glam look. Her long hair was waved and set so she could wear it with a side accessory. One of my favourite products when creating waves is Bedhead shine spray. It’s really important to make sure that a brides hair looks amazing from any and every angle and this product gives everything you need in terms of gloss and shine – perfect for photos!

 

With her hair so ‘hollywood’ we needed to ensure that Christina’s make up complimented such elegance and it was so important that we really concentrated on giving her the perfect skin finish. I achieved her flalwless complexion using airbase, airbrush make up. A firm fave with my brides, this high definition make up product ensures that her look stayed put, and stayed perfect all day long. For her eyes I really wanted to enhance and play upon her natural features so using lashes and sculpting her eye shape (with a little added highlight!) I was able to give her the perfect wide eyed glamorous look.

Christinas photographer, Tony Gameiro captured some fabulous images from various points around the hotel. The photo opportunities at this venue are simply endless! From the Aspinal Suite with its decorative walls to the Moroccan Garden – Check out his blog to see even more from Christinas big day…

If you’d like to chat with me about your own wedding day hair and make up then be sure to get in touch, dates for 2020 are filling up – especially if you’re looking at a summer wedding!

Happy planning!

The added extras, and a little gift from me…

The added extras, and a little gift from me…

So many brides go to so much trouble , ensuring they try to think of everything on their big day. Every personal touch – whether it be a wedding favour, a particular chair cover, a handwritten name place – it’s all designed with their guests in mind, to make them feel special.

So thats why on the morning of a wedding I always ensure I have a little something for the bride. Traditionally speaking you probably know the rhyme ..

”Something old, Something new, Something borrowed, Something blue…”

Well, whilst I can’t pretend to cover all the bases it’s important to me to leave you with a little something to say thank you. As they say, ‘It’s the thought that counts’ and by gifting you just a little something it gives me the opportunity to add that extra bit of value to my brides on the big day. (You can see the gorgeous Claire with her little blue bag in the picture above from her wedding day at Goodnestone Park )  It’s to say thank you for choosing me, thank you for putting your trust in me to make you beautiful on your big day, and thank you for having me there with you on the most important morning of your life. Yes, I am technically only there to do your wedding hair and make up but to me it truly does feel like so much more than that. I get a backstage view, I get to be a part of the prep, the build up , the excitement , the nerves. I get to see the moments of nervous giggles between you and your friends, the tears from mum, and the look that dad gets in his eye when he walks in and sees you for the first time. 

Like I always say ‘I don’t go to work – I go to weddings’ and in my opinion there really is no better job!
