Last month I spent a whole day learning through so Last month I spent a whole day learning through someone else’s eyes.

Not because I suddenly forgot how to do bridal makeup 😂

But because I never want to become an artist who believes she’s finished learning.

Most training isn’t about discovering a revolutionary new technique anyway.

It’s about noticing one tiny adjustment…

A different way of seeing things…

One small refinement.

And those tiny elements add up over hundreds of my brides.

My experience over the years gives me confidence but it’s curiosity that keeps making me better.

I hope I never lose that ♥️
You’ve spent months planning your wedding, the las You’ve spent months planning your wedding, the last thing I want is for you to spend those months worrying about your skin.

The truth is, dehydrated skin is incredibly common. It doesn’t mean your makeup won’t look beautiful and it certainly doesn’t mean you’re starting from a disadvantage.

My job isn’t to hide your skin, it’s to understand it.

I’ll help you prepare for it in the months leading up to your wedding, choose products that work with it and create makeup that still looks and feels like you - just fresher, softer and naturally radiant.

Because nothing you’re experiencing right now is a dealbreaker for your bridal look. Not even close ♥️

A little reminder for brides planning a wedding… A little reminder for brides planning a wedding…

Caring isn’t the same as being difficult.

If anything, it tells me just how important this day is to you.

You’re allowed to ask questions.

You’re allowed to change your mind.

You’re allowed to want it to feel right.

That doesn’t make you difficult. It makes you a bride.

So let’s swap “sorry” for honesty.

We’ll always get to a better result that way ♥️

I successfully switched my alarm off. Drank coffee I successfully switched my alarm off. Drank coffee without rushing. Forgot what day it was.

Turns out I really like holidays…

But I also really love wedding mornings ♥️

So after a week of sunshine, fresh air and switching off, I’m back doing what I love most!

Let wedding season continue 🙌🏻💪🏻
Sometimes the most successful trial is the one whe Sometimes the most successful trial is the one where you leave saying “Actually… I’ve changed my mind.”

This bride arrived with a vision she’d been growing her hair for but after seeing it in person, wearing it, moving in it and listening to her own instincts, she realised something important.

She wasn’t looking for a ‘bridal hairstyle’…

…she was looking to see more of herself but as a bride.

Together, we changed direction. We stopped trying to make her naturally sleek, glossy hair behave like it was textured…

…and instead created a style that celebrated what her hair already does beautifully (and the way she knows she likes to play with it).

The wedding photos say the rest ♥️ Thank you to @johnscofieldphotography for capturing her so beautifully 🙌

This is exactly why I believe your bridal preview isn’t there to “get it right first time” - it’s there to give you clarity. And isn’t that a HUGELY important thing for a bride to feel?!

Sometimes the biggest success isn’t confirming your original idea, it can be discovering a better one👌🏻
