Good afternoon Everyone,

Today I am bringing you a little look at the beautiful Bridal party I styled Friday morning in Newport. It was a pleasure to look after Mary and her bridesmaids. The girls were so friendly and We had great craic and banter all morning. Amelda Flaherty from Westport was the make up artist for the bridal party. They all looked stunning by the way. 

 

I had pin curled Mary’s hair in Thursday to ensure the curls would hold. Pin curls work well on most hair types as they help to set the curl in place. I pin curl with a GHD and use light hair grips to hold in place. Covering with a hairnet to keep everything in place. This is comfortable to sleep in. I know because I’ve slept in them many times.

We used clip in extensions to create Mary’s Bridal look. These were also curled on Thursday to allow time to set. I back combed the top section and used a little Schwartzkopf Powder’ful volumizing powder to help it stay in place. I then weaved a few vintage style swirls around the sides and into the back. I love creating a style for a bride and personalising it specifically for them. The style went perfectly with Mary’s Princess style dress from McElhinneys bridal rooms. She looked stunning. 

   
For the Bridesmaids We kept a rustic Autumnal theme. Loose messy chic.

   
 
 

Thanks Mary and girls for having me as part of your big day. It was great fun and I was delighted to be there. Thanks for letting me blog about the lovely experience styling you.

Hi Everyone 

Happy Monday, another week already. As my snapchat followers will know I had a great day on Saturday at my friends wedding. We had such fun getting the bridal party ready. Maureen looked stunning and I was so delighted to have been part of their day. 

 

 
My friend Ashling from Glo beauty clinic did the bridal make up. As always she did an amazing job and all the girls looked stunning. Ashling did my make up for my own wedding back in March. 

 

The wedding was at Breaffy house resort where Maureen works as Wedding Planner. It was a beautiful wedding with fantastic attention to detail. There was a rustic autumnal theme running through the flowers cake etc. 

 
I snapped this gorgeous photo just after I put on Maureen’s veil on Saturday morning. I think it’s a fabulous shot. A great moment to capture. 
 

I pinned curled Maureen’s hair on the Friday evening and left it to set over night. This gives great hold and really helps the style to last all day. I also used a clip in extension from Hairspray to add volume to the style. 

   
For the bridesmaids we kept the rustic autumnal theme going with loose messy side buns. 

   
  

All in all it was a super fun morning and a fantastic day. Massive congrats to Mr and Mrs Toner. If you have any questions about bridal hair feel free to get in contact with me.

Hi Everyone 

As you know I have been prepping for my friends wedding all week. Any of my snapchat followers will be well up to date on events. So I’ve been skin prepping with my favourite IMAGE products all week. I’ve done some light exfoliating as I’m prone to hormonal breakouts. I usually concentrate on the nose and forehead areas and do a very light sweep on my chin as its very sensitive. I’ve also been using the Image serum and night cream this week. It’s really fabulous and has calmed down the breakout.

 

I done my own tan last night. I rarely do my own tan. I usually get a spray tan. I’ve got six bottles of tan at home that have never been used so I thought I’d use them up. I opted for the Rimmel light matte tan. I don’t wear dark tan at all. I’m quite fair and I love to embrace the pale but I can’t go out totally bare. My Favourite tan is cocoa brown. I thought I’d give the Rimmel a go for a change and I’m very impressed with it. If your like me and you don’t like to be too dark. Definitely try this product.

 

  

So I’m wearing black tomorrow, it’s a River Island dress I bought a few months ago. I’m going to accessorise with Gold. I went for red nails as I’m wearing my favourite lipstick Mac Lady Danger. Keep an eye on my snapchat tomorrow to see my full look.

  

I got these amazing shoes yesterday in New Look in Castlebar. I just love them. They go perfectly with my outfit. This beautiful bag is from Tomorrow’sHeirlooms.ie I just fell in love with it. It reminds me of The Great Gatsby one of my favourite movies. I love the sparkle and extravagance of that era. 

    As I’m styling my friends bridal party in the morning I’m very excited. We done her hair trial on Tuesday and it’s just beautiful. I won’t be able to show you until next week when all the fun is over. My friend Ashling from Glo beauty clinic is doing the Make ups tomorrow. We have worked together many times and it’s always a fun morning in the brides house. Ashling was my make up artist for our wedding back in March. This evening I’m going to prep the brides hair by pin curling it. This will set the curls in place and help to give better hold for tomorrow. 

So that’s it folks. Il do a full post next week with my outfit details. Keep an eye on my snap chat I’m sure there will be loads of wedding selfies going on tomorrow evening.

Bye for now,

Love Maria
