Wedding Hair and Makeup in Ongar, Epping and Chelmsford

By Gail Gardner / May 22, 2014 / 0 Comments

Looking forward to working with my lovely brides to be this weekend.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that there is no sign of rain!   I am going to give a huge shout out to a fabulous lady called Jayne from Weddings Days Essex.  Jayne is very professional and visits brides on the morning of their wedding to steam and iron the brides dress and veil, to help dress the bride and her bridesmaids.  I have come across Jayne at a few weddings and cannot believe the calm she brings to a brides wedding day.  She has been worth her weight in gold.  She makes sure that the dress fits perfectly and is there for last minute sewing and readjusting bridesmaids dresses.  If I had my way, she would be there for every bride at every wedding as I have seen many nervous mothers of brides attempt to dress their daughter.  Her website address is:  www.weddingdaysessex.co.uk.

Crondon Park, Maidens Barn and Leez Priory

By Gail Gardner / May 20, 2014 / 0 Comments

What beautiful weather we are having!  Have worked with some beautiful brides recently and am working with some lovely brides to be too.  I have also been working at Maidens Barn lately and actually got to prepare a bride there.  Most brides get ready at home if they are getting married at Maidens Barn.  What a beautiful hidden gem.  The weather was amazing on Saturday and just perfect for an outside wedding.  Here are a few of my recent brides and bridesmaids and also Maidens Barn.  toni2Toni IMG_4758P1010465 IMG_4754 P1010458

Beautiful Weddings – Leez Priory, Reed Rooms, Crabbs Barn, Crondon Park….

By Gail Gardner / May 3, 2014 / 0 Comments

Working at so many beautiful venues with lovely brides and bridesmaids.  I just love this time of year.  I get so excited about creating beautiful hairstyles and flawless makeup and have just enjoyed a lovely spell of doing just that.  Here is some of my work but I am waiting for professional photos but for now, below are just a few I took on my phone.  I am up at 5am tomorrow to work with a bridal party of 8, all requiring hair and makeup so I think it will be quite an early night for me tonight.  I try and upload my brides on twitter when I can, on the day of the wedding so do keep an eye on that if you would like to see my work more regularly.
