Rustic Wedding Inspiration

I am delighted to share with you the beautiful outdoor wedding of real bride Leanne. I had the pleasure of creating hair and makeup for Leanne, her Mum and bridesmaids on her wedding morning. Including colour hues of lilac and soft green throughout. A rustic setting in the surroundings of Milling Barn in Hertfordshire.

Wedding Makeup

Natural makeup is a popular requested style of make-up. Because, I like to create a look that Bride feels comfortable with. I focus on the skin looking like skin and only covering areas that need it. Creating photographic balance in wedding images, whilst still being able to look and feeling yourself. Cluster lashes were used as to not be overpowering in the images. They subtly open up the eye area and most often you can wear less mascara. Which is great if you get a tear in your eye during your ceremony.

Wedding Hair Styling

The Bride wanted a hairstyle that had texture yet looked effortless and had impact. The finishing touches of flowers add to the country feel of an outdoor wedding. Lots of pin are cleverly hidden to ensure the hair held from morning until night.

Wedding Preparations

Preparations were at Radford House Bed and Breakfast before travelling to the Milling Barn. This is not the average Bed and Breakfast as it boasts modern décor and well lit rooms. The owners are incredibly accommodating and great hosts. It was such a lovely place to be able to prepare the Bride and her wedding party.

Lush greenery with pops of lilac and pinks continued the flow of the country feel into the wedding breakfast. With the floral arrangements adorning the table settings and tealight candles adding a soft romantic feel. Adding a scent of nature to the place settings using fresh cut rosemary.

Advice from the Bride

Try not to worry about the little things. At the end of the day people don’t remember the colour of the table plan or how the napkins were folded. Don’t drink too much! Enjoy every moment, It will be the only time in your life everyone in your life, is in one room. Make time for one another before the wedding day. Try not to think that everything will be perfect, because things will go wrong but nobody else will know. Our wedding cake was the wrong shade and the videographer didn’t turn up on time.
