The coolest bride of this season...

...goes to...drumroll... No! I am not actually awarding anyone. All weddings I work on are different and beautiful and I love working with every single bride. This one stood out for her style though and I really wanted to share a few of their gorgeous photos with you. What a stunner! Wearing a vintage mini lace dress, nude heals and just rocking a minimal styling for a Coogee Beach wedding on the most beautiful sunny day. Congrats again to Alice&Xavier! Staying true to their style on their wedding, having the best time and treating everyone involved like a friend! A truly great couple and a wonderful wedding. I feel incredibly grateful that I had the chance to become part of their special day doing their wedding makeup. I love my job. Soooo much.

A laid back garden wedding

It was such a pleasure being part of this super cool couples wedding. Vicky & Warren and their cheeky pup Pancho the dachshound had a super laid back wedding in the park round the corner from their house. They were just the kind of people you want to hang out with! Plenty of DIY, fun games and a artsy vibe made this wedding really stand out. The gorgeous photos were taken by the uber-talented Jo Bartholomew The bride was after a super natural no-makeup makeup look, as she usually doesn't wear makeup, she just wanted her skin to look even and nice in the photographs and a simple loose side bun for the hair. And so we did! In these photos you don't even notice any makeup at all, exactly what she was after. Can you spot me in the first photo? Congratulations to this gorgeous couple. And check out even more photos of this wedding at Jo's blog you will see all the super fun shots over there!

Two Fine Days!

See more photos of my day here It's been busy! Last weekend we were part of One Fine Day, the amazing boutique wedding fair in Sydney. It was the most beautiful little event and I am so happy we were involved. I don't know if all of you know what I do for work, but I am a Makeup Artist. I work in wedding makeup as well as fashion editorials. The weekend started early by preparing the models for the show in the morning. Managing our little stall all day long for two days was so much fun and also a lot of work. We met the loveliest people and so many of the other vendors, which you can check out in One Fine Days Directory on their website. I hope to collaborate with a lot of them soon! Everyone we met was so inspiring and welcoming. It was the best start I could have ever hoped for. The whole week beforehand we were busy putting everything together, organizing photos, printing postcards and promo material, and putting together little goodies for the brides and designing the stand itself. With every booking we gave away little samples of my favorite and highly recommended organic herbal tea, "Cleansing Brew" from Tea Medica, which is really purifying and nourishing for the skin. I had quite some cups, during the stressful preparations. I love that it's such a small independent company and everything is locally grown and organic. For the fair I filled the tea into little glass test tubes, which looked to pretty with the colourful tea, full of red rose petals, yellow calendula flowers and green herbs. The response from the fair has been great, and it took me all week, to reply to the enquiries and bookings. We met so many lovely brides to be and their friends & families, and it makes me very happy to contribute to such an important and beautiful day in their lives. Thanks to everyone who booked their makeup with me, I am really looking forward to working with all of you. Dave has been my super hero, helping me out all weekend at the stand, getting coffees for my makeup artist and hairstyling colleagues and preparing the stand. He designed fantastic forms and print material and all that at night time after he came home from work. Yes, I am incredibly grateful for this man. And now I am having one day off, before I start my next six day week. We might go to the beach. We might catch up on some sleep, for a long time. Hope you all had a great week!?
