Passionate about Vintage

The lovely Camilla chose stunning accessories for her wedding in November. She used the company Passionate About Vintage, for her fab hair accessory and necklace. Natalie at Passionate About Vintage sources beautiful pieces for you and can make them into anything that you need. Camilla's hair accessory was originally a necklace and Natalie "tweaked" it for her and created a lovely accessory on a comb, that just sat in Camilla's hair and set her style off beautifully.

Parisian Chic Bride

Melina's wedding was one of my most favourite's in 2011.

Her dress was so chic and elegant from the Paris designer Cymbeline and she wanted her hair and make- up to reflect this look. All very effortless, elegant and very French! Simple understated make-up and and classic chignon was the look required and as you can see from these images and the ones on my gallery that Melina looked so beautiful and stylish on her special day .

The wedding was held at the stately Knowlton Court near Canterbury and and big thank you to Graham at Eton Photography for the images. I have met many photographers this year and Graham has been one of my favourites to work along side. We hadn't meet before and I found him very relaxed and a non-intrusive person. Two key factors when booking your wedding photographer! Have a look at his brilliant site - his work is wonderful and he could just be the perfect photographer for you!

Winter Wonderland Bride at Sundridge Park

So pleased to share these images of my lovely bride Sam, whose hair and make up I did a few weeks ago at Sundridge Park. Sam really was a beautiful winter bride. With gorgeous fair skin, soft smokey eyes and a very stunning up-do. I had a lovely thank you from Sam today and here it is -

"Just want to say a HUGE thank you for my and my Mum's and Maid of Honours hair and make-up. You created a look perfect for all of us which we were over the moon with. We looked amazing and had nothing but positive comments from all our guest's."

A big thank you to Shaun Scott, who took these lovely images and the two on my gallery. I hadn't met Shaun before but I must say he was charming. So nice, friendly and very relaxed. To see more of his work or to contact him, check out his website, he was a pleasure to work with.

Vintage style at Hever Castle

I wanted to share these gorgeous images of Tarnya, my lovely vintage bride who married at Hever Castle in September. Tarnya choose to have lovely soft 50's style waves with a bird cage veil and smokey eyes with the black liquid line flick. A very popular look at the moment but very classic - this look will never date.

A big thank you to my friends Laura and Jody from Lollypop for the images and you can see more on my gallery page. Lollypop are my absolutely favourite photographers and I love working with them. And if you book Lollypop and Lisa Bridal Beauty , you will receive 10% off your hair and make-up for your big day.

50's style bride

Laura's 50's style wedding was in October and I just received these lovely photo's and a big thank you, that I wanted to share with you. I did hair and make-up for Laura, her sister Emma and their Mum. Laura wanted an up-do, with height but kept soft looking. So, with a bit of back combing, I gave her some height on top and swept the rest up in to a very relaxed chignon. Didn't make it too formal, just kept it nice and loose with some movement. Emma had lots of hair,thick wavey hair and decided that she would like it more neater and off her face. We created a lovely side-bun and added some beautiful sparkly pins. I loved this wedding look - 2 fab hair styles that suited both equally.

I must say a huge thank you to Daren the photographer. He was so nice. Lovely guy to work with and put everyone at ease. Daren doesn't have a website as he likes to receive his work via personal recommendation and I can't recommend him enough. You can contact him on 0751 720 8789 or email daren.rolfe@talktalk.net. He is more than happy to have a chat and send you a cd of is work. Give him a call - you won't be disappointed!

Understated elegant bride

Trish was the most understated bride I have met this year. Her dress was simple and elegant, with classic lillies in her bouquet, no veil but beautiful drop earings. She really wanted minimal fuss with her whole look and we kept her hair and make-up low key with a very soft side bun and super natural make-up. I received a lovely email from Trish recently and here is a snippet -

"Many of our guest's commented on my hair and make- up and how natural it looked. I thought it was perfect."

Trish's bridesmaid opted for a blow dry, style and finish and this is becoming more popular, even with brides. As people like to have "salon hair" and not look or feel to different from their normal self. And again, natural make-up, just a simple low key look.

A huge thank you from Catherine - a Leeds Castle bride

I am so pleased to share this email with you that I received from Catherine a couple of days ago. Catherine was another of my beautiful Leeds Castle brides and as you can see from the images below she looked so radiant and happy on her big day - even a bit of rain didn't stop her from smiling! It was a pleasure to do Catherine and her sisters make-up and hair (Catherine had an elegant barrel curl up-do and her sister had a blow dry, style and finish) and so lovely for me to receive such a special thank you and photo's. Here it is -

Dear Lisa - I just wanted to email as soon as possible to say thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my hair and make-up for my wedding day. Thanks for helping with the nerves, giving us your umbrella and most importantly, thank you for turning me into a princess for the day! Both the hair and make-up stayed in place perfectly all day - the rain didn't touch it at all.

I can't recommend you highly enough, which of course I will. Thank you again, Catherine, Leeds Castle on the 4th August 2011.
