Ethereal English Rose Wedding Day Make-up For Alethea

 Posted on April 18, 2022      by jo

Where do I begin with the wedding of Mr and Mrs Goddard? As I am writing this blog post and scheduling it to go out, it is exactly two years ago we were put into that first fateful lockdown and all weddings were postponed until further notice. It feels like so much longer now as we all start to catch up with our new normal and almost everyone who has faced a postponement has finally said their vows. The mad rush to fit every Bride in and the non-stop work I have been ever so grateful for to get back on my feet, it’s been a whirlwind.

 

Amongst that whirlwind was the wonderful Alethea soon to be Mrs Goddard. On their revised date of August 30th Alethea, also known as Leaf, was ready and waiting in my chair that morning. Joined by the fantastic Tina Elliott for hair, we soon filled the early hours of the day with laughter between the three of us as we worked away on Leaf’s wedding day look. Paired with a nip of brandy, all the giggling and support helped Leaf sail through the nerves that were starting to kick in. With so much anticipation all this time waiting through a pandemic, the big day can really feel even more overwhelming than usual!

 

As someone who doesn’t wear make-up often, Leaf and I had spoken specifically about a look that would still feel authentic to her. We took an ethereal twist on my perfected skin base with lots of luminosity from high quality SUQQU Skincare products as our foundation. Stepping it up a bit into English Rose territory with some generous blusher using the SUQQU Shimmer Liquid Blush this rosy look was beautifully matched to her infectious smile. Using the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick was an obvious choice for that lovely nude blush pink shade that delicately complimented the look in an understated way that suited Leaf’s style.

 

If you’re considering getting in touch to book your wedding day make-up, here’s what Leaf very kindly had to say about our time together:

 

“Jo was truly a dream to have been involved in my wedding. From the trial to the wedding day (and all the planning in between) she was professional, knowledgeable and so friendly. As somebody that doesn’t wear makeup very often I was nervous about looking completely different on my wedding day, but Jo created the perfect look with her signature gorgeous skin. I still felt and looked like myself, just a more gorgeous version! Jo was so much more than a makeup artist and helped create a calming atmosphere on the morning of my wedding, helping to soothe those bridal nerves. I can’t thank her enough for helping make my wedding the wonderful day it was.”
