Kent Wedding Awards Finalist 2020

Kent Wedding Awards Finalist 2020

I am so delighted to be able to announce that yesterday I found out that I had made finalist for the Kent wedding Awards 2020!

 

For those of you that follow me, this is the award that I won back in 2016. Ive made finalist 5 times now and it’s a great honour to be recognised for what I do!  The little pink heart has become a well known feature for any brides and grooms planning their wedding. Many couples know and trust the suppliers who carry this logo so I’m proud to be able to display it again for 2020.

 

It’s important for me as a self employed stylist that I make sure that I’m doing everything I can , to be as good as I possibly can be for the brides that choose me. Entering the awards is my way of ‘putting myself out there’. I take great pride in what I do and the business I have created and I’m so grateful for recognition of that.

  

Awards are great but there really is no better feeling than a bride messaging me after her wedding to say thankyou or send photos. It’s such an important job – being there on the morning of someones wedding day, and it’s such a privilege to have them trust you to create the look that will last them forever in their photographs. 

  

So thankyou to all of the brides that have chosen me and of course to all of the brides that have booked me for their 2020/2021 wedding dates. I can’t wait to be a part of your big day…. I really do have the best job in the world!

”It’s no secret that I love my job, I love what I do, I love that it fits around my life and my family and I love that a day at work – doesn’t even seem like a day at work! Four years ago when I was sat in my dead end job, clock watching, wishing my days away – the life I have now seemed like a million miles away. I didn’t even know it could exist. I had trained as a hairdresser years after leaving school. It wasn’t until I returned from three seasons in the sunshine that I finally enrolled myself in college and decided to go for it. I had always wanted to be a hairdresser, I loved playing with hair and I loved art so two years and two NVQ’s later – when someone first asked me if I offered bridal hair services I answered yes immediately. It was one of those moments where I thought ‘yeah , that sounds like a good idea, I could do that couldn’t i?! ’ and the rest as they say … is history!”

Annekas’ Bridal Hair and Make Up

I was excited to work with Anneka as it wasn’t the first time we had met. I provided hair and make up for her sister Michelles wedding previously, and its always such a lovely feeling to know that people were happy with your service – enough so that they would invite you back! Recommendation means the world and its so nice to find myself re visiting past brides when they become bridesmaids – or even having a bride book me because she had experienced my hair and make up services as a bridesmaid in the past!

Annekas wedding took place on 19th February 2016 at The Bromely Court Hotel in Kent. Her theme was white and ice blue and the bridesmaids wore the most beautiful coloured dresses. Anneka herself wore white, of course, and her hair and make up suited her princess dress perfectly. We twisted her long blonde locks into a classic curly bun, dressed in diamante pins, pearl and blue in colour. Anneka opted for airbrush make up, as do so many of my brides. Airbrush make up is high definition make up, it gives a beautifully flawless finish and photographs perfectly. What’s more it lasts all day so I can provide my bride with the assurance that she will look as good as she does at 2pm…at 2am!

As you can see from the photos below, with thanks from Dan Potter photography, the girls looked stunning. I’m so pleased you had such an amazing day Anneka, enjoy Florida ( lucky lady! ) and I wish you both the happiest of happy ever afters!
