Weddings and Trials

By Gail Gardner / July 30, 2012 / 0 Comments

I have had a busy few days preparing some lovely brides for their wedding day and some lovely brides to be too. Congratulations to Helen who married at Chelmsford Cathedral last weekend and to Cathy who married last Monday at Chelmsford Registry Office and also to Karen who married at Leez Priory on Friday and the lovely Gina who married at Braintree Registry Office on Saturday. Also, i met with two lovely brides to be, Hannah and Rebecca. Hannah is having a special wedding theme called ‘under the sea’ and has opted for a mermaid hairstyle and Rebecca is still trying to choose between the updo and half up hairstyle that we tried out today. Both styles were so beautiful. I told her i would post these on my facebook page and see which photos received the most views….that may help her decide! I have another busy week with trials and three weddings this weekend so good luck to Caroline Jennings, Katie Barker and Roma who are getting married at Leez Priory, The Fennes and The Reid Rooms. I look forward to seeing you all very soon. Gail x

Essex Wedding Hair and Makeup

By Gail Gardner / July 8, 2012 / 0 Comments

I have had a busy few weeks carrying out some lovely trials and weddings throughout Chelmsford in Essex.  I have brides getting married at The Reid Rooms, Leez Priory, Greenwoods, Stock Brook Manor, The Fennes Estate, Ingatestone Hall, Hylands House, all in July.  Brides are asking for some beautiful romantic hairstyles, some vintage and others very bohemian.  Most of my brides have been lucky with the weather, with the sun coming out just in time for the ceremony, so lets hope for sunshine for all brides getting married in these next few months.

I am uploading a few photos of brides that have just got married and also some recent trials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am going to make some recommendations to all you brides that have not got round to the finer detailed parts of your wedding.  Firstly, the wedding card you give to your fiance on the morning of your wedding, via the best man.  This lady creates the most personal cards.  She is so cheap, she only charges £5 for an A4 or £4 for an A5.  Her attention to detail is amazing.  If your husband likes golf or if you have a private joke between you or anything, she will incorporate it into the card and also you choose the wording.  I am uploading one of her cards here.  I only discovered her by seeing one of her cards at someones house but since, I have now used her to make all my childrens birthday cards.  She does everything from invites etc but I have only seen her cards. Her name is NORMA and her mobile number is 07885437175.  Good Luck.   I also will be making some recommendations for a lady who does wonderful crafts for the children on wedding days, she is amazing and reasonable and become quite popular as she really knows how to keep little ones entertained.  Watch out for  more info.  Gail x
