July Update!

My busiest month this year for weddings and possibly the hottest and yes I did have a wedding on the day of 40 degree heat! See my little set up below and the beautiful bride after makeup.

The wedding was at a very old house in St Albans and the original toilets still in use were very much a talking point of the bridal preparations!

I also celebrated my tenth wedding anniversary! I love this photo of us dancing our wedding night away and I always find it funny I didn't top my makeup once I was clearly having too much fun in the moment.

Mum and I also saw Michael Bublé at Hatfield House finally this should have been in 2020 but due to Covid was delayed twice, it was such a great evening with perfect weather.

I started the month at a new venue for me www.clivedenhouse.co.uk , which was stunning and I am sure I will be back.

Lots of weddings and trials ahead of autumn weddings, here is a few snaps I grabbed along the way.

Created some lovely hairstyles recently too, these are a few of my personal favourites.

May Update!

I had a branding photoshoot with the wonderful Alison at https://www.ajburrowsphotography.co.uk/

I highly recommend if you are thinking of updating your branding/headshot photos.

A few wedding snaps from May weddings.

 

I am enjoying meeting lots of new brides for their pre-wedding trials.

My new garden studio is now complete where trials, lessons, and event styling can take place.

May Update! Warning contains a lot of Dog photos!

A little late with my May Update as the days all merge together lately.

I have been doing a lot of painting and drawing during May to keep myself motivated and busy. Also taking lots of lovely dog walks in the marvellous spring sunshine we have been so lucky to enjoy.

I have also been looking at my current hygiene practices in preparation for when I return to work which have always been high priority for me but now will have to be increased even more where possible. I have taken Barbicide Hygiene training and Barbicide Covid-19 hygiene training, purchased lots of disposables, hand sanitiser, cleaner and disinfectant to use regularly in-between clients.  All clients will be made aware of how makeup and/or hair bookings will be taking place going forward via both direct email and social media.  I am planning a separate blog post on this as well.

I have become a founding member of The Association of British Wedding Businesses.  It is positive that the bridal industry now has an overall body and more importantly a voice.

 





I had lots of fun picking wild flowers which inspired me to do some hairstyling on my dolly head and accessorise the styles with flowers.











My little munchkins!  I warned you there would be dog photos! They are loving having us at home all the time... it is going to be shock for them when we have to go back to work.







Someone had a lockdown birthday! He is actually smiling here!



Desperately in need of a long overdue haircut...



Waiting in the car and got a little bored so I made us into a cartoon!
