Hi,

Where abouts in the North West are you based? I would recommend the lady I had. She has several different ladies that come round and they will do a trial before for the Bride. She was really good and she also did one of the ladies make up who was on Four Weddings (I watched the episode but couldnt really tell :rolleyes:)
Im in Liverpool btw

Val could you PM me please with the details for that lady? (incase she's nearer and cheaper than the one i have found).

What are you having done to your nails foxxy? I thought a french but I don't know if it will look dated...

just french polish. You see, colours will come and go, but french polish is just emphasising what is already there. so it won't date your photos

well i was going to get my hair done professionally, but do my own make up (just because every make up person I have seen has gone a wee bit over the top with things lol)

but

on saturday I went to a wedding fayre at my venue and met a really nice girl that will come to the house and do makeup (£50 for the day and for a trial whenever I want before hand ) her makeup was lovely and not over the top at all so Im thinking I will go with her

she is going to do a deal on make up for me and the bridesmaids

plus as we want a pamper evening for my hen night im thinking of having the trial done then to save on getting someone else in to do it then lol

*Louise*

I got people in to do my hair and makeup.

It was nice to just sit back and be pampered in all honesty. And it was 2 less things to worry about.

Plus they done it 10 times better than I ever could

Both my sisters had their hair done professionally at a local salon when they got married, and one sister had a make-up artist do her make-up for her. The other sister went to the BeneFit counter a couple of weeks before the wedding and got a makeover, then just bought all the stuff and did it herself.
