Charlotte was one of those beautiful brides who had the perfect wedding planning balance. She knew what she liked but yet she was open to new ideas. It was the same when Charlotte and I had her makeup trial. She knew that she wanted a more smokey look and we worked from there. On the day when I arrived at the penthouse in the Hilton I knew it was going to be a great morning. The sun was shining, the champagne was already popped and the movie Bridemaids was playing in the background but most importantly Charlotte was happy and relaxed. You can usually tell within 60 seconds of arriving what kind of morning its going to be. Charlotte was smiling ear to ear, chatting to her bridesmaids and just enjoying the morning.

Charlottes look was stunning! From the lace detail on her dress to her perfect low bun all finished off by her soft veil.

When I was doing her makeup and once I had seen her ‘wow’ dress I knew that going a little more smokey on the eyes would work better then less and Charlotte agreed. When the whole look came together it was breathtaking and Charlotte is a bride I will always remember.
