Wedding Hair and Makeup Essex – 2015 / 2016

By Gail Gardner / January 6, 2015 / 0 Comments

Happy New Year to you all!  I have had the busiest Christmas (working) ever!!  I managed to take Christmas Eve off (my birthday!!) and Christmas Day and Boxing Day and then it was back to all the wonderful brides getting married during the Christmas Period.  Christmas is extremely popular for brides.  I think if I could turn the clock back, I would probably get married at Christmas.  Its such a magical time of year, everyone is full of Christmas spirit, Candles replace flowers, Christmas Trees are dressed beautifully in the venues, I just love Christmas.   Christmas 2015 is already getting booked up, which proves it is becoming an increasingly popular time to get married.  I can also tell from my diary, that 2015 and 2016 are big years for brides.  My diary for this year is filling up so please do not leave it too late to book as I have already had to turn away so many brides this year.

I have spent December at many of the most beautiful venues in Essex.  Leez Priory, Gosfield Hall, Newland Hall, The Reid Rooms, Spains Hall, Mary Green Manor, Maidens Barn, Crabbs Barn, Prested Hall, Hylands  House and Stock Brook Manor.  I started this year off at Maidens Barn and Leez Priory.  Essex has so many beautiful venues to choose from.  Two of my brides this year both came from abroad to get married.  My first bride, Mary, came from New York. That was a great morning, surrounded by New Yorkers, full of life.  Then there was FFion who came from Australia to get married at sleepy Maidens Barn, another lovely bride with an amazing life story.  I cannot wait to meet all my lovely 2015 brides this year.

Here are some photos of Christmas with my  lovely family, starting with my husband and daughter making my birthday cake!  Along with my wonderful mum and dad.  There are also a couple of photos of hairstyles I have created this year and a frozen Leez Priory Lake.  Happy New Year!!
