    Hello Photo Overload. The morning of the wedding was a chaotic one, with 6 bridesmaids, my mum, my cousin who was my make up artist, photographer Jenny and a bunch of hairdressers all frantically running around trying to get ready for the day ahead.

    It is more of a photo filled post with this one as I am not a beauty or hair expert (yes, I see you nodding over there!) so I want to let the photos do the talking.

    I wanted a natural look, as I don’t really wear make up I didn’t want to look too different, that my Husband to Be wouldn’t recognise that weird lady walking towards him. I was assured I just needed a bit of touch up for the photos so I looked ‘’effortless’’ and my cousin did a fabulous job of doing just that. Please check her out at Make Up by Emma, she is super fab and lovely too and I was so grateful for her offer to do the make up. I literally would have had NO idea of where to start!

    The hairstyles were created by our local hairdressers, Aqua Creative who did a fabulous job of creating the Bridesmaids hair from the photo I showed them and also my loose curls!

    Alot of you have asked me where my flower crown was from. Truth be told, I made it myself. I was sick of searching the net trying to find one from a local/UK Seller rather than the US. My answer was staring right at me in the form of my Mums crafting room. I set to it with some artificial flowers and a piece of decorating wire. I was so happy with my efforts and the fact that I had made it all myself was just how I would have wanted it.

  • Nail Art Review on MUA Bold Blue Nail Polish | QueenBeady

    Friday is my favourite day off in the week because I have the house to myself, I can catch up with house work (bore!), watch whatever I like & just generally slob out! and today is no different. I have decided to paint my nails with a new nail polish I bought from Superdrug the other night.

    I felt a bit sorry for myself after a hard day at the office & I needed a little pick me up. (what girl doesn’t?) so I headed to my local Superdrug to have a little peak and found myself gazing at the MUA stand. Why on earth have I never come across these little gems before? I twirled it round and there was just value galore in front of my eyes. Everything ranged from £1 upwards.

    I turned my attention to the nail polish as I like to do my nails to chill out & calm myself as I find it very therapeutic. There were about 10 different colours, most of them were pink, but I wanted something a little different. My favourite colour of the moment is duck egg blue , with its very Cath Kidston feel. I love everything in this beautiful, powdery blue because it just feels like Spring & Summer when I look at it
