It's a short list of makeup products today, because this bride was all about natural beauty and that meant keeping things simple.

Last weekend I spent my time at Lartington Hall meeting brides. During this time one of the main requests I received from the brides is that they felt make-up needs to look flawless with delicate approach to colour. I wanted to share with you some of the images of a look I created with this approach in mind and the products I used. In keeping with the delicate colours of the flowers, décor and the venue I wanted to keep a peachy hue with the makeup but add a black eyeliner for a hint of drama.
