✨ Carmel ✨

A beautiful Scottish bride, married in the heart of London at the stunning Reform Club on Pall Mall. 🤍

For Carmel, we created a soft glam makeup look in warm, rosy tones, enhancing her natural beauty while keeping everything elegant, romantic and timeless.

With a full set of hair extensions from Milk & Blush Hair Extensions we created the most luxurious half-up style, giving her that effortlessly glamorous bridal finish. ✨

I had the absolute best morning getting Carmel and her beautiful bridal party ready. There’s something so special about those precious hours before the ceremony, the excitement, the laughter, the emotion and all the little moments in between. 🤍

Carmel, you are such a beautiful woman inside and out, and it was such a pleasure to be part of your special day. Wishing you a lifetime filled with love, happiness and beautiful memories. 🥂✨

Yours truly,

Some brides just have that effortless chic about them… and Ines was exactly that.

Based in Sydney but Paris born and raised Ines was only passing through London to get married at Islington Town Hall before jetting off to Portugal for the big wedding celebrations. What an adventure!

We never had the opportunity to do a trial, but after lots of conversations about the look she envisioned, everything came together beautifully. Having a background as a fashion model, Ines knew exactly what she loved, and it was such a joy bringing that vision to life.

We kept the makeup light and fresh with soft rose gold tones, sheer coverage to let her beautiful freckles shine through, and a healthy rosy flush for that effortless glow.

The hair was a super sleek high ponytail with soft, effortless waves, modern, glamorous, and timeless.

I had an absolute blast getting you ready, Ines. Thank you for trusting me with such a special moment.

Wishing you both the most incredible celebrations in Portugal and a lifetime of love and happiness. 🤍

I absolutely loved creating Amelia’s bridal hair and makeup for her wedding at the beautiful in Richmond.

For her bridal look, we created natural bridal makeup with softly defined eyes and my signature radiant, glowing skin to enhance her natural beauty. Fresh, modern and timeless was the brief, and I think we achieved exactly that.
For her bridal hair, we chose a modern half up, half down style with a soft, textured bun and loose, brushed-out waves for an effortlessly romantic finish.
It was such a lovely morning, and I was honoured to be part of Amelia’s wedding day on behalf of the Pro Team.

If you’re looking for natural bridal makeup, wedding makeup, bridal hair, or wedding hair in London, Surrey or Kent, I’d love to help create a look that feels effortlessly beautiful and completely you.

Yours truly,

Abigail absolutely understood the assignment for her wedding day!

Marrying in the iconic St Paul’s Cathedral before celebrating in the heart of the City of London, this was the definition of a fairytale wedding and every bit as magical as it sounds.

Working on behalf of incredible team, I had the honour of creating Abby’s bridal hair and makeup, and honestly… she looked like a dream.

We went for a radiant soft glam makeup look with the prettiest touch of sparkle, paired with a glamorous curly half-up, half-down hairstyle. With the help of extensions, we added beautiful volume and movement, and finished the look with a stunning tiara that was fit for a princess.

The morning was filled with excitement, happy tears, laughter and so much love. Seeing Abby all dressed and ready to walk down the aisle at St Paul’s was one of those unforgettable moments.

Abby, you were an absolute dream to spend the morning with and I feel so lucky to have been part of your special day. Wishing you and your husband a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness together.

Can we all take a moment for this bridal look?!

Yours truly,

Mandy xx 💫

There was something extra special about being part of Ragnhild’s wedding morning at Millbridge Court this May. As a fellow Scandinavian, I was so excited when I was contacted by a Norwegian bride marrying her Englishman.

There’s something wonderfully familiar about the Scandinavian approach to beauty, understated, effortless and focused on enhancing natural features rather than masking them. Ragnhild’s vision for her bridal look reflected exactly that.

We created fresh, glowing skin, minimal yet beautifully defined eye makeup, and a classic sleek bun that felt elegant, modern and completely timeless. The result was polished but never overdone.

Being able to chat in my mother tongue while getting her ready made the experience even more special.

Thank you, Ragnhild, for trusting me to be part of your beautiful day. It was an absolute pleasure to help you get ready to marry your Englishman and begin your next chapter together. ✨

I kicked off May with my stunning bride Lottie 🤍.

We went for the softest, glowy bridal look with fresh natural skin, n**e tones on the eyes, fluttery lashes, a little bronze and the prettiest rosy cheeks.
Lottie doesn’t usually wear much makeup and wanted to still feel like herself, just a little more polished. Soft, effortless bridal beauty at its best 🤍

For hair, we styled it half up, half down with soft bouncy curls and delicate face-framing pieces to give that romantic, relaxed and soft vibe.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your vision and letting me be part of such a special morning.

If you love soft glam eyes and natural glowy skin, we’d probably get along very well.

Yours truly,

Mandy 💫

March highlights ✨

A mix of slow moments and busy, beautiful days… exploring pretty villages in Kent, a weekend in Rye with a breezy walk along Camber Sands, and cosy pub stops with puzzles and wine.

Lots of bridal trials in between, meeting my lovely brides, chatting through your visions, and getting so excited for all the weddings ahead ✨

And of course, after school hot chocolate dates with my boy.

Wedding season has officially started and I’m so ready for it…

Yours truly

Megan’s December wedding at Clapton Country Club was everything ✨

East London vibes, vintage details, and a day full of personality from start to finish. This venue never misses and always such a fun, creative space to be part of.

And Megan… she went ALL OUT glam 🤍
Think bold red lips, sharp winged liner, and the dreamiest Hollywood waves. Paired with a dress covered in sparkles, she absolutely owned the look, modern glam with a timeless edge.

The whole morning was such a vibe and an absolute blast to be part of. Weddings like this are exactly why I love what I do ✨
