December Update!

I am just getting ready to sign off for a week for a Christmas break, just one more wedding (22nd),  a Christmas cake to ice, one more present to buy a few more to wrap and I am so ready to relax!

Thank you to all of you who are here reading my blog, to those that comment, like and share my social media posts it means so much as a freelancer running a small business entirely by myself.

I have had the busiest year on record for weddings which has been so fantastic after the last few years, a big thank you to all my wonderful brides it is such a honour for me to be a small part of your big day!

Thank you to all those suppliers, colleagues, clients and friends that have kindly recommended me as well this is always very much appreciated.

Below is a few of my December snaps!

How amazing was the snow? I don't know who loved the snow more me or my little poodle, and it was so magical to see it in December ahead of Christmas.

It was my first Christmas in my garden studio so I had get a real tree it has been a dream come true this year having a studio of my own to finally work in after many years of wanting one.

I have met some beautiful brides in recent weeks for pre-wedding trials here is just a few!

A few December weddings this month too.  St Michaels Manor in St Albans was so gorgeously decorated this year just look at that tree!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the happiest and healthiest 2023!

See you on the other side!

August Update!

I am enjoying the gorgeous summer we are having! I have actually got to wear most of my summer clothes for a pleasant change and flip flops all the way for me after breaking my little toe shoes are just not an option at the moment so its been lucky the weather is on my side!

It is peak wedding season so very little time for anything else for me at the moment although this last week in August has been busy with bridal trials ahead of Autumn weddings.  I think most established wedding suppliers are still battling a backlog of Covid weddings even into next year.  It is looking very busy already so do book all your favourite suppliers early to avoid being disappointed!

Here is a little of what I have been up to this month!

Above is my garden studio where bridal trials and other makeup and hair appointments can take place.  It really is a happy little haven where the magic really does happen!  I absolutely love my job and look forward to meeting you if you have an appointment booked to see me soon.

I actually have some time off this weekend so will be recharging in the sunshine before a super busy September and October. I hope you also enjoy the long bank holiday weekend!

My website gallery has some updating to do for this year (on the to do list!) but Instagram posts my most recent work daily.

December Update!

Apologies I am a few days late with my December Update but I am easing back into work a bit slower than usual after slowing down over Christmas! I have enjoyed such a lovely long Christmas and New Year break down in Cornwall with family and friends.  It was so good to all be together even though things still were not quite "normal".  We were flow testing daily, no hugging and kissing outside our bubble, keeping distance as much as we could, limiting time with different family members and we even missed a new year party but it was perfect all the same just a bit different to the norm'!

Below are a few of my snaps. 

My pooches always love opening Christmas presents too, they are twelve and fourteen now never too old!

We enjoyed so many lovely dog walks.

Fowey, is definitely a new favourite of mine.

My Homemade Christmas pud goes down well every year.

But now it's back to it! 2022 is a busy year for Weddings, I have almost 60 booked already this year. I spent yesterday contacting March-May brides to arrange pre-wedding trials.  Brides after May will be contacted next week.  I cannot wait to meet everyone! I have my brand new garden studio all set up and ready to start working in so I am super excited. If you are getting married this year and reading this do book your suppliers sooner rather than later as it unusually busy due to the pandemic.  I do still have availability this year and I am also taking bookings for 2023.

Wishing you all a very Happy & Healthy 2022!
