Best of 2025
Time for a round-up of last year's weddings, and boy 2025 was BEAUTIFUL! I love that my clients all lean in to looking like themselves on their wedding days, from having fresh faced skin, going for bright colour if that speaks to their soul, wanting eyeliner a particular way, saying hell no/yes to things that light them up. I encourage every one of my wedding clients to go for what makes them feel good on their wedding day; if you feel good, you're guaranteed to look good. And with that, let's see them all in their beautiful wedding day glory!
Steph was my first wedding on the year, marrying in February and going for dinner with her nearest and dearest after then going to watch Bowling for Soup, which I was going to as well! What a way to have your wedding day :D Sarah married her beau at The Carriage Hall, so got her and her tribe ready at home with the help of Adele. Adele joined me for my second Sarah of the year too, getting ready at home in Sandiacre before having her legal ceremony, and then her celebrant ceremony with a knees up on a bouncy castle! Sinead FINALLY got married (have had me originally booked for her wedding during COVID times) at The Manor House in Quorn.
Violetta married on the first day in May at Donington Park Farm House, just having makeup for herself with her bridesmaids joining later in the morning so we had the calmest chill morning together. Gorgeous Sarah from Rock N Roller hair came to finish up her hair, and voila! Chantelle's husband-to-be booked me for her wedding makeup as a surprise (but told her well in advance of the wedding day) as she had her heart set on having me for the wedding! Deanna's wedding morning was calm as anything at Ringwood Hall, and meant I got to see Anna Dunleavy and Mon Amie Hair. What a dream team! Sheridan married at Swancar Farm, having been a bridesmaid for my past nearlywed Hazel and then booking me for her own wedding. It was so lovely to see familiar faces again on a wedding morning, and there's truly no better compliment for me than being recommended to friends and family after your wedding.
Lorna's big day was at Thorsby Hall, with my great mate Rosie on hair duties. Deanna married her partner at the West Gate Suites in Long Eaton, being the wonderful Mum of a past wedding client Jess! Again, another wedding where I get to see a past client; it's just the loveliest! Esme married under the tipis at Inkersall Grange, and Kara married at Chequers Inn in Woolsthorpe. Another wedding with beautiful Rosie on hair duties!
Grace married at Owen House over in Knutsford, hiring me on the recommendation of her photographer Maddie Farris, a gorgeous alternative photographer who I've worked with in the past. April married at Brooksby Hall, which I'd never been to before. A lovely big getting ready room with loads of natural light was amazing for her getting ready crew, including Sian Revill who I had along to assist me in getting all her gals ready. Abby booked me for her wedding makeup as soon as she had her date secured (and her husband) after I did her best pal, Kirstie's wedding makeup back in 2021. And Amy married at Swancar Farm after I did her friend's wedding makeup in 2021 too. Honestly babes, I LOVE all these recommendations!
Sarah married at Donington's The Priest House Hotel which I'd never been to before, opting for really natural makeup as she didn't wear a lot on a day-to-day basis. Grace married at Grangefields which I'd never been to before either, but she was super keen to feel like herself on her wedding day and take out of the stress that can often come with wedding planning. Her and her beau married a year after their legal ceremony - exceptional work, folks! Becca got ready at The Falcon Inn in Long Wharton, with Sarah from Rock N Roller Hair again on hair duties. Emma got ready at her family home, having both a morning church ceremony (literally next door to her house!) and Indian wedding in the beautiful marquee in her garden in the afternoon.
I knew Louise from working back in my desk job over a decade ago, and was overjoyed when she said there was only me she wanted for her wedding makeup <3 Kirsty had a beautiful tipi wedding, and booked my Elite Touch Up kit for her wedding day so she had her lipstick to touch up with throughout the day. Lucy got ready at home in a beautiful chilled out morning before her local church wedding, and Nicola got ready and married at Swancar Farm. I got to see more wonderful supplier pals at their weddings, including Chris Terry Photography, Andrew from A Big Neon Glitter Photography, and Lou from Rather Lovely Films!
Emily married at Kelham House before flying off to Slovakia for a traditional Slovakian wedding to her husband. I got to see Moira Borg and Vicki Clayson for her wedding day, which is always a treat! Caitlin was getting married at Sherwood Glade and got ready at a beautiful little holiday lodge park which has sheep and goats outside. Jordan married her love in a gorgeous intimate ceremony at The Lace Market hotel, and Grace got ready at home with her family and pals with the lovely Moira Borg on hair duties before Kirsty Rockett photographed the big day!
Charis got married at Arnot Hill, having got ready at St James' Hotel. Our beautiful Claire got married at Donington Park Farmhouse - the only wedding this year that I did the wedding makeup for and then attended the wedding of! I must definitely love her ;) Zoe got married at The Nottinghamshire Country Golf Club, and I got to see Justine's Hair for styling duties. We had a lovely morning getting her ready with her sister and her Mum. Becca married Tasha (below!) at their local church and had Jaybee's on hair duties at Bestwood Lodge. Possibly the closest wedding venue to me!
Tasha' married Becca above, mostly getting ready together until they went to get dressed and then had first looks before travelling to church together. Utter babes! Rosie got ready at home, just having makeup for herself, wanting to make sure her wedding morning was as chilled out and calm as possible. Leaning into what makes your soul feel good is 100% top tier bridal behaviour to me! That said, Amy married her love in a twilight ceremony at Woodborough Hall, led by Kickass Gathering, on their sofa from brought from home for the ceremony. Charlie married at Thorpe Garden, which I'd never been to before; a lovely big getting ready room there! Lily had a gorgeous Hallowe'en ceremony at the Council House in Nottingham, in the most beautiful big red dress. I can't wait to see her wedding photos from the big day! Rebecca married out at Skendelby Hall in Lincolnshire, which she found with four week's notice after her previous venue went into administration!
I've also got the wonderful Miya's wedding makeup to complete on 28th December...!
