On Wednesday we travelled to the STUNNING .house to do hair and makeup for the & workshops. 6 amazing shoots over 2 days, countless talented suppliers, 19 photographers travelling to Scotland to capture our beautiful country and vibes.
Scotland feels like such a special place to get married… Bagpipes, tartan, kilts, tying the knot, ceilidh dancing, beautiful landscapes and we love getting to share our culture with couples from other countries ❤️
And obviously, we had to have a bit of a giggle making this with the girls. You’re probably bored of me going on about how blessed I am to work with my team, but the are just the best. Talented artists, stylists and just fantastic people ❤️
Wedding planning is STRESSFUL, and the most time invasive part in the beginning is choosing your suppliers.
Combing through endless websites and socials can feel daunting. Every wedding supplier would agree that it’s important you choose the suppliers for YOU. A team that will fit your vibe, wedding day and as people.
When we have a bride who genuinely wants to work with Us, we find it so much easier as the energy and communication just seem to flow seamlessly. So here’s some reasons why our brides book us...
- We have a collective experience of over 60 years giving us invaluable education on all things wedding.
- We constantly work on our communication, aiming to give our brides timely responses to any queries.
- Energy is our second signature behind our artistic work. We love to bring the buzz or the calm to whatever our bride needs in that moment.
- We live for a playlist and a coffee order.
- We have multiple artists and stylists & are therefore able to cater to larger bridal parties seamlessly in house.
Dying to know, what made you choose your suppliers? Was it on work alone or their energy?

Over the moon to receive an email from the incredible Female Founder Awards last week to say I had been nominated as a finalist under the Wedding category! It was just the lift I needed ❤️
Anyone who knows me knows that the past year has been incredibly tough for me attempting to balance motherhood, being a working bridal artist, running a team of 8, a salon and everything else life has to offer. I ended up with PPD. It’s led me to being quiet on my socials and missing opportunities I would have jumped to a few years ago.
I want to share my struggles as a Mum & business owner, although I don’t want to seem like I’m unhappy at work or at home. If just one person feels less alone because I’m open about the difficulties of balancing it all, that feels like a win to me. I am absolutely not complaining, I adore my life with my family and my career but “having it all” rarely looks like how it does on Instagram.
My new goal is to show up online again, authentically because to rebuild, you have to just go for it. The voting is now open so if you feel like making this 34 year old teenage Mum & company owner a vote, head to the link in our bio 🙏❤️
Thank you to whoever nominated me, you have no idea how much this meant ❤️

Congratulations to the beautiful Alice, our beautiful bride from Saturday! 🥂
Alice opted for the sleekest of sleek buns to compliment her elegant gown and our Nicki was absolutely delighted as she got to put her new taming brush into practise 😂
At her trial, Alice wanted to opt for a more natural makeup however we decided to go more soft glam to see how she felt with it. Alice loved it and didn’t want to change a thing, however your preview is the first time I’m doing your makeup and I often have changes I’d make as an artist to ensure you look your best. Alice loved her makeup and we had such beautiful reactions all round from her bridal party! ❤️
